"My open hand will reward my friends, but let my enemies beware." - King Varian Wrynn
Varian Wrynn is the King of Stormwind.
During the First War when Varian was a young boy, his father King Llane was murdered and Stormwind was sacked by the Orcish Horde. His guardian and regent Anduin Lothar gathered the survivors and sailed to Lordaeron, where the Alliance of Lordaeron was formed. The Alliance defeated the Horde in the Second War and Stormwind was reclaimed, though at the cost of Lothar's life. Varian was crowned King of Stormwind and stood by King Terenas of Lordaeron as the Alliance began to fracture, but soon faced many internal problems. He was unable to reach a settlement between the Stonemasons who rebuilt Stormwind and the House of Nobles, which led to a riot in which his wife Queen Tiffin was killed. While on a diplomatic mission to Theramore, Varian was abducted by the Defias Brotherhood, formerly the Stonemasons, and went missing.
He managed to escape from the Defias but suffered from memory loss; he was captured and enslaved by the Horde and became a gladiator in the Crimson Ring, teamed with Broll Bearmantle and Valeera Sanguinar. The trio won the Crimson Ring tournament in Dire Maul, for which Varian was given the Taurahe moniker "Lo'Gosh" — meaning "Ghost Wolf".
After escaping his slavers, Varian discovered he was the missing King of Stormwind, and his advisor Lady Katrana Prestor was revealed to be the black dragon Onyxia in disguise. She had orchestrated the Defias and Nobles dispute and was behind Varian's kidnapping. With the help of his comrades, he was able to defeat her.
Under his daring leadership, the humans of Stormwind led the Alliance to victory against the Lich King in Northrend. After the deaths of Highlord Bolvar Fordragon and Alliance forces at the Wrathgate, the Forsaken conquests in the former territories of Lordaeron, and the anointing of Garrosh Hellscream as the new warchief, Varian declared war on the Horde.
Known for his tenacity and fierce will, King Varian Wrynn is committed to protecting the Alliance's interests and raising his son Anduin to follow in his place.
