- Illidan Stormrage

Illidan Stormrage is a dark elf born Demon Hunter and the founder of the Illidari. He was the former cocky-proclaimed Lord of Outland, ruling from the Blackness Temple until his defeat. While being born one of the Kaldorei, equally stated past Maiev Shadowsong, he became "neither nighttime elf nor demon, but something more than". He is the twin brother of Malfurion Stormrage and was in beloved with Tyrande Whisperwind. One time an unusually gifted magician, the extent of his powers became hard to classify due to his powers increasing in large bursts as a Demon Hunter and his having absorbed the powers of the dangerous fel object known as the Skull of Gul'dan.

His pursuit of power and arcane mastery led him to commit a number of horrific acts against his own people and the races of Azeroth, including defecting to Sargeras during the State of war of the Ancients and creating the second Well of Eternity. For his actions, he was imprisoned for ten thousand years, until his release during the Third War. He came to exist called the Betrayer for his acts against the dark elf people and carried the title of Lord of Outland. Seeking to bring down her erstwhile prisoner, Maiev allied with Akama to invade the Black Temple, where she cornered Illidan in his inner sanctum and struck him down, bringing an finish to one of the most tragic stories in Azeroth's history.

All the same, Illidan'southward motivations were revealed to be more complex than previously realized - as he only had the conservancy of Azeroth from the Burning Legion in mind. To this cease, later his body was stolen by the Gul'dan from an culling timeline - the prime naaru Xe'ra put events in movement that would eventually lead to the revival of Illidan - of whom she considered the "child of Light and Shadow", and the only one who could stop the Legion.

Biography

War of the Ancients

Run across besides: War of the Ancients (WC3 account) and War of the Ancients (novel account)

Illidan, also known as the Betrayer, was the twin brother of Malfurion Stormrage. He was a practitioner of Highborne magic. In his youth, he attempted to master the druidic forces as his brother had, but the sorcery called to him in a way that the magic of the land did not. Unlike his blood brother, Illidan was born with bister eyes; which was regarded by the elves as a sign of a nifty destiny— yet, this actually indicated inherent druidic potential.^[eleven] While Malfurion and Tyrande had found their destiny, Illidan was still searching for his. Though not a Highborne himself, he became the personal pulley of the military leader, Ravencrest.

When Sargeras' invasion of Azeroth had begun and Azshara's treachery became known, Malfurion convinced Illidan to get out his queen. Illidan followed his blood brother. However, as Cenarius and the dragons entered the battle, Malfurion came to understand that their adversaries were also powerful to fall in combat. To cease the invasion, Malfurion plotted to destroy of the Well of Eternity, which appalled Illidan. The Well was the source of his magic— and likely of the elves' immortality as well, and its loss was a price far as well dear for Illidan to pay. In addition, the night elf found that he increasingly admired the powers of the Burning Legion, seeing a magical purity that underlay their chaotic behavior. While the night elves struggled to maintain their ground, the Burning Legion's numbers did not seem to permanently diminish. The satyr Xavius seized upon Illidan'due south doubts, exploiting his defoliation, and planting seeds of distrust into his mind. This led Illidan to seek out the power the Burning Legion was using so he could become stronger. While he felt in his heed that he was seeking this ability to assistance defeat the Burning Legion, he really helped them by giving Sargeras the Demon Soul which allowed them to open the portal.

Illidan had stiff feelings for Tyrande Whisperwind, a novice priestess in the Sisters of Elune. Illidan so desired to impress Tyrande that he oftentimes acted without thinking, particularly in magic; he never realized that these displays weren't quite what the priestess was looking for in a mate. Just while Illidan struggled to win her center, none of them realized that the boxing was over soon after it had begun; Tyrande had chosen Malfurion near from the outset. Xavius knew of this and used this to darken Illidan'south thoughts, convincing him that if Malfurion were to die, Illidan would no longer have a rival for Tyrande'south love. Finally, the sight of Tyrande in the arms of his brother, Malfurion, shattered his terminal ties to the defenders.

Illidan, with a new plan spurred into his mind, journeyed to Zin-Azshari. At that place, he feigned allegiance to Azshara and Mannoroth. Illidan'south plan was to obtain the Demon Soul, an artifact of great ability created by Deathwing also known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder, which had the ability to close the portal which was allowing the demons to enter Kalimdor. However, to put this plan in action, Illidan had to gain more than power. Illidan was eventually brought before Sargeras himself, who speedily discovered the night elf'south plan to obtain the Demon Soul for the Legion. Sargeras was pleased with this plan and gave Illidan a "souvenir" in return for his allegiance. Illidan'southward optics were burned out past Sargeras himself, despite still being across the portal and orbs of mystic fire set in their place that immune Illidan to see all forms of magic and arcane tattoos covered his body. Azshara was fascinated past the "new" Illidan (who was wary of her advances), just remained cautious, sending Captain Varo'and so to back-trail Illidan in his search for the Demon Soul.

Subsequently the Great Sundering, Illidan, who had filled seven vials with h2o from the Well of Eternity, scaled the peaks of Mount Hyjal, where he found a small-scale, tranquil lake. There, he poured the contents of three of the vials into the waters. The chaotic energies apace manifested, tainting the lake and twisting it into a new Well of Eternity. Illidan'southward joy was short-lived, however, when his brother, Malfurion, Tyrande and the remainder of the kaldorei leadership discovered him- and all were horrified at what he'd washed. Unable to accept that his blood brother had committed such treachery, Malfurion tried again to explicate to Illidan the folly of his means. The magic, he insisted, was chaotic by nature and it could simply bring most destruction so long as it existed. Illidan refused to listen, so enraptured by the magic's power that his brother seemed to him an unknowing fool. Illidan claimed that magic would be needed should the Burning Legion ever return.

The lack of remorse shook Malfurion to his core and he raged at his brother, understanding now that Illidan was lost forever to the magic's sway. He ordered him imprisoned deep below Hyjal in a jail kept far from sight and heed.

Release from prison

Illidan languished for ten,000 years in a lightless prison. Califax, a Keeper of the Grove and a contingent of night elves (including Maiev Shadowsong) kept constant guard over the Betrayer. Release came at the unexpected hands of Tyrande, who slaughtered the night elf guards in the hopes of using Illidan confronting the Legion, which had returned to Azeroth at the hands of the Scourge. With his love for Tyrande undampened through the millennia of confinement, Illidan agreed to assistance. He swore to throw back the Legion and to depart from the nighttime elves forever.

Malfurion opposed Tyrande'southward decision, thinking the release of Illidan a catastrophic mistake. Frustrated that his brother remained unchanged and eager to prove to him that the demons had no hold over him, Illidan left Malfurion behind, leading a strength of nighttime elves into Felwood to hunt downward the Legion. While in Felwood, he encountered Arthas, champion of the Lich King, and they engaged in combat. The fighters were equally matched and the combatants reached an impasse. Illidan stopped the duel and demanded to know why Arthas had tracked him. Arthas responded openly, telling Illidan most the Skull of Gul'dan, the demonic artifact that had corrupted Felwood. He explained that if the artifact were destroyed, the abuse of the forests would halt. To ensure that Illidan would have the bait, Arthas spared no particular of the Skull's ability, adding that his chief knew of Illidan's thirst for power. Although Illidan did not trust Arthas, he nevertheless sought the Skull and its power out.

A great Demon Gate defended the Skull equally Illidan and his forces had to fight mightily to gain access to the artifact. Driven by necessity and influenced by the belief that with the increased power, he could at concluding redeem himself in the eyes of Tyrande, he shattered the demonic seal and used the Skull's powers for his ain. Strength he found, but peril greater than power came to him at once. The boxing for control of the Skull came with a heavy price and the artifact'south powers changed him. Transformed into a demon, Illidan wrapped himself in shadow and utterly destroyed Tichondrius and his demonic forces. But with victory came devastation. Tyrande and Malfurion sensed the demonic power lurking inside Illidan and turned away with disgust and despair. Malfurion chastised his brother, convinced that Illidan had traded his soul for more than ability. Enraged, Malfurion banished his brother from the forests.

Feeling his sacrifice and try were unappreciated, Illidan muttered "So be it... blood brother" and left the night elf lands.

Allegiances

After the Legion'south defeat, Illidan was visited past Kil'jaeden, who, while noting Illidan'due south track record with the Legion, offered him one terminal chance to serve them. He told Illidan to seek out the Frozen Throne and destroy information technology. Ner'zhul had grown far too powerful for Kil'jaeden to control and Illidan was to remove him from the equation in exchange for more than ability and magic than he could dream of. Kil'jaeden granted him the Orb of Kil'jaeden to aid him in this task.

By harnessing Gul'dan's enchanted skull, Illidan came to possess the warlock'southward memories and a plan came to mind, simply he would need allies to help him. He decided to enlist the help of some old friends.

Illidan calling the Naga from the depths of the sea.

Illidan called the naga to the surface. The naga, formerly the quel'dorei servitors of Azshara, were eager to take vengeance upon the night elves and the other land-walking races that had been spared from The Great Sundering. Azshara sent her handmaiden, Lady Vashj, to found contact;^[12] the naga, respecting Illidan's magical talent, accepted the alliance^[i] and Vashj eventually came to lead those who would be known as "Illidan's Naga". But Illidan still had the troublesome warden, Maiev Shadowsong, to deal with, every bit she had persistently chased him all over Kalimdor. Illidan then allied with a group of satyrs, known as Illidan's Servitors.^[thirteen] ^[fourteen] Then he ran to the port of Nendis with his naga and satyr minions protecting the style up behind him. Maiev killed the furbolgs and defeated his forces, but when she came to the port, Illidan hijacked a boat and set sail, while a cadre of naga stayed behind to scuttle the ships and ruin all hopes of post-obit him.^[13]

With the naga swimming in his wake, Illidan came ashore on the Broken Isles— the ruined remains of Suramar (ironically, the aforementioned city where Illidan grew upwards) which Gul'dan and his warlocks had razed twenty years before and the home of the Tomb of Sargeras.

Confrontation on the Broken Isles

Despite their best efforts, Illidan's servants had not been successful in destroying the boats. Maiev and the Watchers arrived on the Broken Isles shortly after Illidan and the two forces battled across the watery terrain. Illidan reached the tomb and Maiev was quick to follow. With Gul'dan's knowledge, Illidan quickly traversed the Tomb and came to the chamber which contained the Eye of Sargeras. Maiev came upon him as he and Vashj were activating the powerful artifact and, as vengeance for her imprisoning him for 10,000 years, Illidan used the Eye to bring the Tomb downward around her and and then quickly escaped through the underwater passages used past the naga. Though he killed Naisha and all the other Watchers inside the Tomb, Maiev escaped with her magical abilities. On the surface, Illidan and Maiev battled for supremacy every bit the Warden sent out a runner to get together reinforcements from Ashenvale.

Malfurion and Tyrande arrived on the Broken Isles with reinforcements as Maiev'due south base was being overrun. When they struck dorsum, Illidan's forces crumbled, merely he and his retainers fled before they were seriously harmed. Tyrande pursued them out of the base and Illidan ensnared her to protect himself, warning her not to interfere. He fled across the body of water once more. During this battle, Tyrande finally revealed why she had spurned Illidan: likewise drunk with his rising magical and political power, he had forgotten his ain inner strength. Malfurion, despite his increases in power, held on to that strength within him. Armed with this knowledge, Illidan finally came to grips with his feelings.

Illidan landed on the shore of Lordaeron and quickly made his fashion through Silverpine Forest to get to Dalaran, where Illidan began to apply the Eye of Sargeras to break apart the polar ice cap and destroy Icecrown and the Frozen Throne. But he was interrupted by Maiev and Malfurion, and the spell failed. Malfurion had felt Illidan's spell trigger-happy the land apart and concluded that he was a danger to the world and had to be stopped. Illidan, who was entangled by his blood brother, chosen Malfurion a fool as he was destroying the Lich King, their common enemy. Malfurion was furious at him for causing the loss of Tyrande, who had been, according to Maiev, killed. Illidan was heartbroken that the woman he loved was expressionless, but Prince Kael'thas, the night elves' newest marry, thought that possibly information technology was premature to presume her dead. Kael'thas explained that Tyrande had not been "torn apart" by the undead, equally Maiev had told Malfurion, but had instead fallen into a river and been swept away by the currents. Malfurion immediately arrested the Warden and promptly went in search of Tyrande. Illidan begged to be allowed to assistance his blood brother track downward the honey priestess. Illidan and his personal guard of naga found Tyrande under heavy attack from a massive undead force.

Illidan and his naga battled their way through the undead until they reached her. Tyrande was taken aback past Illidan's service to her, and when he delivered her safely to Malfurion, she was astonished. Illidan assured Tyrande that even if he became a monster, he would always await out for her. Malfurion told Illidan he was gratuitous to get on the status that he never threaten the night elves once again. Illidan, wishing for an end to the conflict with his brother, agreed.

Escape to Outland

After Malfurion allow him become, Illidan created a portal to Outland and fled immediately, pursued past Maiev. Now that he had failed to destroy Ner'zhul, he knew that Kil'jaeden'south wrath would not spare him, so he wanted to discover a globe where he could remain costless from Kil'jaeden. He felt that Outland, the ruined remains of Draenor, was only such a place.

Illidan was chased down on the shattered world until he was captured by Maiev and the Watchers, and imprisoned once again. But he was saved past Kael and Vashj. Illidan accepted the allegiance of the claret elves, and fabricated Kael his 2d-in-command. The Sin'dorei, coupled with the naga, would be very invaluable to his plans. Illidan continued his original plan - to rid Outland of demonic influence so that he could stay out of Kil'jaeden's grasp. To practice this, they laid siege to the Black Temple of Magtheridon, the Pit Lord who had taken command of the world. But first, Illidan systematically shut down his dimensional gates to stem the menses of reinforcements. Eventually, they succeeded.

When they came to the Black Temple, Illidan was approached past Akama of the Broken, who pledged the fidelity of his race. Akama's broken felt indebted to Illidan and his army for aiding them in their fight against the fel orcs of Magtheridon, who had laid siege to their village with the intent of slaughtering them all. They laid siege to the Black Temple and destroyed Magtheridon'due south defenses, and then defeated the Pit Lord in battle himself. Magtheridon noted wryly that Illidan had great ability, and asked if the Legion had sent him as a test. Illidan laughed, maxim that he was not a test, but a replacement, and imprisoned Magtheridon below Hellfire Citadel and kept sealed in place by the fel orc jailor Keli'dan the Breaker.

The March on Icecrown

As Illidan rallied the forces of Outland under a new banner, a storm of fire and fume descended upon the Black Temple, and Kil'jaeden appeared in all his unholy celebrity. Chastising Illidan for his foolhardy attempts to abscond his wrath, Illidan quickly claimed that he had been gathering his forces for a 2d attack on the Frozen Throne. Kil'jaeden, seeing that Illidan'south new comrades "showed some promise", agreed to give Illidan ane more hazard to appease the demons.

Illidan, Vashj, and Kael laid siege to Northrend and battled Anub'arak's forces every bit they trudged through the snow towards the Icecrown glacier. But Ner'zhul, knowing he would be overrun if he didn't practice something, called Arthas to Northrend to consummate the plan he had set in motion then many months before. Finally, Illidan's forces arrived at Icecrown equally Arthas and Anub'arak dug their way out of Azjol-Nerub, and the ii factions squared off in a titanic battle as they tried to gain control of the iv mystical obelisks surrounding the glacier. After a long battle, and control going back and forth between the ii enemies, Arthas activated all obelisks, and the doors to the Frozen Throne were opened.

But Illidan was not finished notwithstanding. Coming together Arthas at the glacier's base, the two warriors engaged in unmarried gainsay. After a few minutes of exchanging blows, notwithstanding, Arthas overcame Illidan's defenses and cut him down. Illidan Stormrage was desperately wounded, but non killed. After it became clear for Vashj and Kael that they could non destroy the Frozen Throne, they retreated, somewhen back to Outland, taking Illidan with them.

Note that the in-game animation between Illidan and Arthas was originally planned to be a video cinematic. Fourth dimension constraints, even so, forced the scene to be done inside the game. The developers have said that their greatest regret well-nigh this change is that many assumed Illidan died, when the video would take revealed that Illidan survived to sentry Arthas's transformation.

In The Burning Crusade

This section concerns content sectional to The Called-for Crusade.

According to the manual included with the Burning Crusade expansion, Illidan knows that Kil'jaeden has not forgotten his failure to destroy the Frozen Throne. It says that he anticipates an offensive from the Legion and is "preparing accordingly." In the game information technology is revealed that one of the means Illidan is preparing is by creating new fel orcs to fight for him, using the blood of the imprisoned Magtheridon. It says that he and his allies fight to ensure that all portals to Outland remain tightly sealed while he strengthens his power base. Information technology likewise implies that the Horde and Alliance will want to apply those portals because of Outland's strategic importance.

Illidan as seen in the Called-for Crusade.

Battle of the Crimson Scout

At the first of the group quest [70]Battle of the Crimson Sentry, Illidan shouts out to the players:

Lord Illidan Stormrage yells: What manner of fool dares stand before Illidan Stormrage? Soldiers, destroy these insects!

Waves of demons and blood elves attack the party, and the players must defeat the waves, finally contesting Torloth the Magnificent. After Torloth falls, Illidan shouts out to the thespian who landed the killing blow, challenging him to come to the Blackness Temple and take him on:

Lord Illidan Stormrage yells: So yous have defeated the Carmine Sigil. You now seek to challenge my dominion? Not even Arthas could defeat me, withal you dare to even harbor such thoughts? And then I say to you lot, come! Come up <name>! The Blackness Temple awaits...

This suggests Illidan losing his heed over his defeat at Arthas' hand, not assertive it himself; on the other hand, Illidan did technically survive the encounter, and if "defeat" for Illidan is defined as death, then Arthas did not actually defeat him. Such nuances of logic are mutual with Illidan, often employed when defending his deportment to others.

Interest in the Netherwing Quests

The final quest of the long grind to attain Exalted with the Netherwing is called Lord Illidan Stormrage — it involves speaking with a project of Illidan himself. Overlord Mor'ghor, leader of the Dragonmaw's nether drake project, presents the actor as the new Highlord of the Dragonmaw, only Illidan sees through the illusion and orders the Overlord to kill the role player. Yarzill the Merc, a nether dragon bearded as a goblin, helps the role player escape to the Lower City of Shattrath where they will receive one of vi Netherwing Drakes every bit their new mount.

Master of the Black Temple

Main commodity: Illidan Stormrage (tactics)

Adventurers of both the Alliance and Horde were assigned to penetrate the Black Temple and eliminate Illidan.Template:Why? Akama and his "acquaintance", Maiev Shadowsong, are covertly involved in the effort.

Death?

Illidan rises from his boxing with adventurers.

During a quest, information technology is revealed that Akama has conspired to cease Illidan's tyranny by allying with Maiev and later freeing her. In the Black Temple raid encounter, Illidan is the terminal boss and is fought by both Akama and Maiev along with the players. During the battle, Maiev taunts Illidan several times in reference to the hurting that he has acquired her, from forcing her to guard his prison for 10,000 years by committing his crimes to causing the death of Naisha. In the end, when Illidan is well-nigh death, Maiev remarks that he is beaten, but as he dies Illidan says that the huntress is nothing without the chase. With the drive for vengeance gone, Maiev states that she is indeed goose egg. Akama then took the Black Temple and swore to fill up the halls with light once once again.^[15] This however, was changed in the expansion Legion, where information technology is shown that Illidan simply loses consciousness after the battle with Maiev and Akama instead of dying.

In Wrath of the Lich King

This section concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.

Illidan appears in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King as part of the quest [80]The Hunter and the Prince. The quest is a recreation of the duel between Illidan and Arthas at the gates of Icecrown Citadel. The player, in the role of Arthas, must defeat Illidan to complete the quest.

This is the showtime time in-game where Illidan is shown with a model how he looked before he became a Demon hybrid.

While visiting the past, through the Caverns of Time, he makes an appearance in the Well of Eternity. He aids heroes throughout the instance.

Revelations of the Past

In the Pursuing the Blackness Harvest scenario, information technology is revealed that Illidan Stormrage had discovered an untapped store of raw cabalistic energy in the Shrine of Lost Souls. With cabalistic power of that magnitude, he was able to bind many demons to his will by offer them to sate their thirst for magic from that place in exchange for their loyalty. In that way, he was able to gain the back up of many demons and maybe regain some of his own sanity by freeing themselves from the habit to the Legion's magic.

Possible return

During the Blizzcon 2010 Earth of Warcraft Quest and Lore Q&A panel, Chris Metzen was asked about the possibility of Illidan existence revived or redeemed, and Metzen replied that it was something he would really like to do and that he is a sucker for a skilful redemption story.

At the Blizzcon 2011 Earth of Warcraft Open Q&A console, Metzen was again asked well-nigh reviving Illidan. He asked the oversupply if it was something they would like to see, the oversupply exploded and cheered in response, and he said they would work on information technology. He afterwards revisited the topic during the Globe of Warcraft Lore Q&A panel, later on beingness asked near the dead bodies of of import villains.

This section concerns content that needs wikifying.

Afterwards the autumn of the Black Temple, the corpse of the lord of Outland, Illidan Stormrage, disappeared. No one knows the true fate of Illidan'southward remains, but legend holds that Warden Maiev Shadowsong took his broken torso to the Vault of the Wardens so that Illidan'due south dark, lingering soul could serve the residuum of his eternal judgement — forth with his followers, the feared Illidari. Justice to be forever served...

Prior to the events of Globe of Warcraft: Legion, Gul'dan finds Illidan'southward body. It is presumed he sets Illidan gratis, though what condition he is in and whom he serves remains to exist seen.

During the Demon Hunter Campaign, Illidan is summoned from the Swirling Pool in The Fel Hammer past the player and Kayn Sunfury / Altruis the Sufferer. As Illidan'south spectral image shows, his soul is even so in the Twisting Nether. He gives the histrion two missions: notice Akama, who knows very detailed data about the Legion and convince him to join the demon hunters in their entrada against the Legion; and regain the Sargerite Keystone to invade the Legion'due south worlds. After Illidan is spotted past a demon, he tells the player that they will not contact him like this in the Swirling Puddle again, and he trusts the histrion with the Illidari- officially proclaiming him/her equally leader of the Illidari. The spectral prototype then fades.

In the Class Hall final quest, information technology is assumed that Niskara was one of the Legion'due south world that Illidan Stormrage wanted to invade and Kayn Sunfury presumed that he was 1 of his dreams. The Fel Hammer starts a massive bombardment on the demons of Niskara with the assistance of the Coilskar Naga and the Ashtongue Broken while the player glides onto Niskara with the demon hunter heroes Jace Darkweaver, Allari the Souleater, Kayn Sunfury / Altruis the Sufferer, Asha Ravensong, Belath Dawnblade, and Kor'vas Bloodthorn. After some Fel commanders are crushed, the heroes get together at a Niskaran structure where Fel flames are engulfing the entrance, creating a barrier. Kayn Sunfury / Altruis the Sufferer asks the actor to lodge the Fel Hammer to bring down the Fel Bulwark, and information technology is at that place that the histrion meets Varedis Felsoul and Caria Felsoul, with the epitome of Kil'jaeden himself watching in amusement. However, they are slain by the demon hunters, making Kil'jaeden furious, and fulfilling Illidan'south dream.

Light's Eye revelations

In the Light's Heart quest chain, Xe'ra claims that Illidan Stormrage is the kid of Light and Shadow and is destined to end the age of the demons. Before attempting to recover Illidan's soul, the smashing Naaru asks the histrion to see Illidan's memories via flashback, which details what actually happened in the Twisting Nether, with Gul'dan, and this trunk. The nascency of the Stormrage twins is shown with Illidan's golden eyes mark him as something special. Later on he is seen being demoted as a druid and humiliated by Cenarius who rejects him equally a direct educatee. During the State of war of the Ancients, his greyness choices to save Blackrook Hold from the overwhelming forces of the Legion are shown where he sacrifices many Moon Baby-sit mages to turn the tide.

Nighthold

Later on the defeat of Gul'dan in The Nighthold, a at present released Illidan confronts Gul'dan and promptly kills him. Illidan then addresses the adventurers and states that they at present understand the threat they face and that they must "follow him into the abyss".

Speculaton

It is stated that the Abyss Illidan said is believed to be the Tomb of Sargeras or the Great Depths where N'Zoth awaits, possibly the sleeping city Ny'Alotha.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Origins to Demon Hunter

A questline given by the [Light's Heart] in player's Order Hall^{[ citation needed ]} details Illidan's early on days. It begins with showing his birth in Val'sharah with his twin blood brother Malfurion Stormrage. It goes on to show Illidan and his golden eyes, a symbol of power among Elves.

Finally, it shows Illidan's eyes being burnt out, his acquisition of the Fel from Sargeras, and his transformation into a Demon Hunter.

Relationships

Relationship betwixt Illidan and Malfurion

A sculpture of Illidan seen at E3. The statue is at present in Blizzard'southward master lobby.

The human relationship betwixt the Stormrage brothers is noticeably different in The Frozen Throne and in the State of war of the Ancients Trilogy.

By way of comparison, in the novels written by Richard A. Knaak, Malfurion is more tolerant and forgiving of his blood brother, who is portrayed as oft selfish, reckless, out of control and non completely sane. Rather than becoming role of the "lynch mob" who want Illidan summarily executed, Malfurion speaks on his behalf, endorsing his knowledge of the Called-for Legion every bit vital tactical data... giving an undeniable reason to coffin Illidan rather than kill him.

When nosotros showtime were introduced to Malfurion and Illidan in Warcraft III, Malfurion objected fiercely to the idea of freeing Illidan, in the belief that his crimes were unforgivable and that he should stay locked up. When they were reunited Illidan was bitter about how he had been punished and Malfurion was disgusted to be in the same room as Illidan, nonetheless nursing a grudge over Illidan'due south betrayal. Illidan, who seemed to exist the more than forgiving one at the time, was eager to evidence to his brother that the demons had no concord over him. Later, after Illidan used the powers of the Skull of Gul'dan for himself and took on a demonic advent, Malfurion demanded to know where his brother was, implying he even so had some affection for him. After Illidan revealed that he was the demon, Malfurion, rather than killing him, simply banished him. Obviously, Malfurion knew Maiev Shadowsong would desire Illidan imprisoned just still chose non to human activity. Rather than object, Illidan only walked away.

Illidan was next seen in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Subsequently the two worked together to salvage Tyrande, Illidan seemed to have forgiven Malfurion for disrupting his attempt to destroy the Frozen Throne, even though information technology would leave him at Kil'jaeden'south mercy. Malfurion's last words to Illidan included an ominous threat nigh what would happen to him if he ever did anything against the kaldorei once more. This too, Illidan accepted without objection. Illidan admitted that he had known simply "ages of detest" for his brother, but for his office he wished it to end. This is maybe the closest thing to a peace that the brothers have achieved. Illidan and so departed telling Malfurion he doubted they would ever see each other again.

In Globe of Warcraft (meet below), Malfurion's words indicate that he does not wish to fight his blood brother, and he says that if he is forced to, things volition non exist every bit they were at the Well at Zin-Azshari.

Every bit of the Burning Crusade

This section concerns content exclusive to The Burning Crusade.

From Malfurion's conversation with Remulos:

Malfurion Stormrage says: Cenarius fights at my side. Illidan sits atop his throne in Outland – brooding. I'm afraid that the loss to Arthas proved to be his breaking point. Madness has embraced him, Remulos. He replays the events in his mind a thousand times per day, but in his mind, he is the victor and Arthas is utterly defeated. He is likewise far gone, old friend. I fear that the time may presently come that our bail is tested and information technology volition not exist as it was at the Well in Zin-Azshari.

The verbal meaning and implications of this are non known. It is yet likely that Malfurion fears that the bonds betwixt him and his brother Illidan will be tested in the almost future. For 10,000 years ago, during the State of war of the Ancients, the two brothers were forced to work together to throw back the Burning Legion at The Sundering, which is when they chose their separate paths. Now, with Illidan'due south death we will never know if they could have co-operated again.

Relationship between Illidan and Tyrande

Illidan and Tyrande knew each other since their birth, which was thousands of years before the first invasion of the Called-for Legion. They were best friends alongside his twin blood brother Malfurion. Thousands of years later, Illidan treated Tyrande not just equally a friend, merely something more than. He knew that Tyrande will have to cull either him or Malfurion in the futurity. Tyrande also knew that if she chose one of them, the other will be deeply injure and she didn't want to hurt either of them. All the same, later on the beginning invasion of the Called-for Legion began, their relationships were changed forever. While Malfurion studied the druidic manner of nature, Illidan studied the arcane arts, something that Tyrande was wary about - rightfully so. He became reckless with his magic, and so reckless that he even killed some of his own people whilst combating the Burning legion. Before the great boxing between Kaldorei and the Called-for Legion continued, Illidan tried to talk to Tyrande about choosing him instead Malfurion, claiming that he was dangerous with his druidic path. Tyrande told him that she though that he was the dangerous one, and that she feared he was losing himself to the abuse of magic. Illidan was heartbroken. He knew that she had chosen Malfurion, and in response he realized that he wanted his ain brother dead. Illidan later sided with the Burning Legion, while unbeknownst to him, Tyrande was captured. She later escaped and ran into Illidan (who after some fourth dimension betrayed the Burning Legion). When she saw what Illidan had become when Sargeras gave him his so called 'gift', she was horrified. She tried to reason with him to exit the demon'southward service.He acknowledged to her that he was pretending to be on their side so that he could brand his plan to become a hero to his people. Later on the great battle in the palace of Zin'Azshari and the Great Sundering, Illidan created a new Well of Eternity after also killing some Kaldorei soldiers who had been trying to stop him. For this act he was imprisoned deep below the World Tree Nordrassil on Mountain Hyjal.

For more than than ten,000 years Illidan suffered in darkness until Tyrande released him from his prison to redeem himself by fighting the Burning Legion. After many centuries, Illidan still cared almost Tyrande. He even said that he would not fight considering of his people, just but because she asked him to. However, Illidan'due south twisted way of redeeming himself and saving his people didn't end well for them. He turned into something he hated the most, a demon. For this human activity, he was banished from his homeland by his brother Malfurion. Tyrande was horrified of what he had go and she did not object to his banishment.

Their relationship came to a conclusion when Illidan threatened the entire earth. It turned out that he was trying to destroy Northrend and in doing and then killing the Lich King (who was under the command of the nifty demon lord Kil'jaeden). Tyrande sought to terminate him with the assistance of his brother Malfurion. Illidan was surprised when Tyrande arrived to stop him. She told him that he had go a monster, which he didn't take lightly, but he said he cared about her and that he wanted to show her how powerful he was. Tyrande said something that haunted Illidan for more than than 10,000 years: "Raw power is no substitute for true force Illidan. That is why I chose your brother over y'all". When Tyrande was fighting the undead solitary and vicious into the river, Malfurion and Illidan fought a large undead regular army to save her. Illidan completely destroyed the undead army and rescued her. Tyrande was surprised past this act and asked why he would risk his life to salve her. He told her that whatever he may be in this globe, no affair what, he e'er cared about her. He made his peace with them, just he was not forgiven for the crimes he had committed. Knowing that he was no longer welcome on Azeroth and that Kil'jaeden'due south wrath would be inevitable, he was left no selection but to create a portal and retreat to Outland. He bid them goodbye and after 10,000 years he finally left Azeroth on relatively good terms with them.

Personality

Before the War of the Ancients began, Illidan was described similar a rash, reckless young male child often doing something without thinking. Unlike his twin blood brother Malfurion, he didn't want to follow the druid'south path simply because information technology was too slow for him to learn, indicating that he is impatient. Tyrande was his all-time friend, and he found her very beautiful, oft making her blush with compliments. In fourth dimension he would develop romantic feelings for Tyrande. He knew that Tyrande would accept to choose him or Malfurion, and then he tried to impress Tyrande so that she would choose him. When the First War began, his personality changed greatly. He was more reckless than ever, particularly with his utilise of arcane magic. He even killed some of his people unintentionally while he fought demons, because he was not careful enough. Illidan became ability-hungry; he admired demon magic so much that he himself used their own magic against them, something that Malfurion and Tyrande didn't observe appropriate. During the ongoing battle between Kaldorei and the Burning legion, Illidan finally came to his breaking point when he learned that Tyrande chose Malfurion over him, something that led him to betray them and side with the demons. After the Great Sundering, Illidan's lust for power led him to create another Well of Eternity so that cabalistic magic wouldn't exist lost. For this act he was imprisoned for eternity, and earned the title the Betrayer.

Later 10,000 years, Illidan was released from his prison house by Tyrande so that he could help fight the Legion during their second invation. After all those centuries, Illidan yet cared virtually Tyrande, only he was even so furious at his brother for imprisoning him. Illidan was still ability-hungry, which lead him to search for and absorbed the Skull of Gul'dan which turned him into a demon. In the stop he was banished by his brother with no objection from Tyrande. After all that had happened, Illidan was almost the same as he had been previously. In add-on, he became more ruthless after spending so much time in prison.

Illidan: Rex or Pawn?

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions perhaps supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.*

In the final boxing of the War of the Ancients, Illidan begins casting a spell to opposite Sargeras's portal.^[17] Tyrande senses that several someones have augmented his spell — and these someones were darker than even Sargeras.^[18] These beings were clearly the Old Gods, who wished to redirect Sargeras' portal to their prison across the mortal plane instead.

It is likewise quite possible that Illidan's more contempo actions are also aided by the One-time Gods. Given that the naga are presumed to follow them, information technology has been suggested that Vashj and her ilk answered Illidan's summons every bit function of the new plan (though given Azshara's previous association with him, there are other explanations). Illidan might be an endeavour to position a powerful pawn in the midst of a strategic location.

As well, most cases when a being encounters Old God intervention, the being goes "insane". The insanity noted

by Malfurion Stormrage may also indicate the One-time Gods had a part in the chain of events in Illidan's life.

The Old Gods' plans get deep, far deeper than anyone could imagine. They had plans, upon plots, upon plots, all of which centered upon a single goal: freedom. It is not crazy to ask, wouldn't they have had a final program, in case their original one failed? No articulate evidence exists either way...but that'south likely what they intended.

Yet, the story of World of Warcraft: Illidan and contempo events in Legion may quash much of the speculation almost Illidan's sources of power and stop goals. Also, it changes the sources of assistance and potentially points to the naaru instead of the Sometime Gods.

Powers and abilities

Illidan was one of the almost powerful sorcerers on Azeroth (Queen Azshara was the near powerful sorceress of their time). After 10,000 years it is unknown if he is more, less, or every bit powerful as Azshara. 10,000 years agone when the offset invasion of the Burning Legion began, Illidan good arcane magic and he became very adept at information technology. He was more impressive than the senior sorcerers nether Lord Ravencrest'south command. He even became personal sorcerer to Lord Ravencrest (something which made other sorcerers jealous).

While Illidan fought demons, he also learned from them and used their own magic against them, something which both his own brother Malfurion and his long childhood friend Tyrande didn't discover appropriate. During the war, he sided with the Legion and Queen Azshara. He was brought forth to speak with the lord of the Burning Legion, Sargeras himself. In return for his allegiance, Sargeras burned out his amber eyes and replaced them with light-green, peppery orbs. Through his new eyes, Illidan could detect whatsoever form of magic and find the power of beings around him. Illidan's unabridged body was also covered with arcane markings, which increased his cabalistic ability. Illidan had became the first demon hunter.

Ten thousand years later, during the second invasion of the Burning Legion, Illidan absorbed a powerful demonic artifact called the Skull of Gul'dan, turning him into an immortal demon. Illidan stated that with this power, he was stronger than any of Archimonde'southward lieutenants. He destroyed Tichondrius, the about powerful of the dreadlords, with little attempt. He also had the power to transform into a total demon, making him even more powerful. Illidan is skilled in melee combat, especially with the Warglaives of Azzinoth, which were in one case the weapons of the powerful doomguard captain Azzinoth, a demon he slew x,000 years agone. He can strengthen them to go even more than deadly.

It is speculated that Illidan's loss to Arthas was due to the Lich King giving the minor remainder of power he had to ensure Arthas' victory and, in the total spectrum, the survival of the Lich Rex. In the volume Arthas: Rise of the Lich Male monarch their fight was longer. Illidan brought Arthas to his knees with ane spell. When Illidan went for a finishing blow, Frostmourne urged Arthas to rally and he struck Illidan with all of his strength.

Illidan is immortal. In the demon hunter starting feel he reveals he has an immortal demon soul and that he cannot truly die. Instead, his soul makes its way to the Twisting Nether until it can discover some other suitable body to inhabit.^[nineteen]

Notes

Considering the interlude in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne shows Illidan in every bit a full night elf when he struck the deal, information technology is oftentimes presumed that Illidan's new appearance (horns, wings, fume, hooves and burning hoof prints) was a result of Kil'jaeden's farther empowerment. Information technology should be noted, notwithstanding, that most sources, including the Warcraft Encyclopedia, just mention his demonic transformation when discussing the Skull of Gul'dan; no mention is fabricated of farther transformation during his coming together with Kil'jaeden.
Although Malfurion said Illidan's transformation by the Skull of Gul'dan had cost him his soul, in that location has so far been no prove that this claim was anything more hyperbole. Information technology is probable Malfurion was but shocked at seeing Illidan in demonic form and was speaking metaphorically. There is no testify that Illidan'southward personality has drastically changed equally a result. Until it is established, the possibility remains that the only change in Illidan seems to be slight insanity (though subsequently reading the State of war of the Ancients trilogy, one is forced to wonder if Illidan was non insane before he consumed the Skull of Gul'dan).
At some point, Illidan tried his paw at writing, authoring a volume entitled [The Emerald Dream: Fact or Carefully Planned Out Farce Perpetrated By My Brother?] The bodily volume itself starts a level 54 Druid quest. Information technology'southward doubtful the text was well-received among the Cenarion Circle or the dark-green dragonflight. Note that all of the Dire Maul books have silly names and/or flavor text ( [The Arcanist's Cookbook] , the mage book, existence a good example of this).
When the player rescues Illidan in Outland during the Claret Elf Campaign, Lady Vashj says that the claret elves are the descendants of those Highborne who served Illidan years ago. Curiously, Illidan himself never actually commanded any Highborne in the War of the Ancients (either version). This error can exist explained by the fact that in the trilogy, Vashj was a picayune naive, and preoccupied, and was not very informed as to the exact nature of Illidan's "employment" with her Queen.
Originally, Illidan and Malfurion were identical apart from their pilus and eye colour. Their various transformations have fabricated it much easier to tell them apart.
Illidan was listed equally a sorcerer and fighter in the original Warcraft RPG, which used 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons base classes. This was changed to a mage and warrior in the Globe of Warcraft RPG,^[20] which uses the classes seen in-game. In the novels, he is referred to as a sorcerer, though this may not be an indication of class.
- Since the RPG is non catechism, its classifications are largely irrelevant. Illidan likely started as druid, merely earlier learning much, switched early on to a mage which he remained for a long flow of fourth dimension, and eventually became a demon hunter that he presumably volition remain until his concluding death.

Trivia

If yous expect closely at Illidan in Warcraft Three, you will find that at least 1 of his blades has the face up of a panda painted on it (Samwise Didier's trademark). I place it tin can be seen conspicuously is in the cut scene in Warcraft Three: The Frozen Throne at the end of the Nighttime Elf campaign when Illidan says adieu to Tyrande and Malfurion.
- On closer inspection the panda face on Illidan's changes when he is transformed past the skull of Gul'dan the change beingness the face up changing from happy panda to angry panda, this change is accompanied by Illidan growing horns and wings of a demon and burning the ground on which he walks.
At release, when there was no high level content, it was announced by Ordinn that "the most powerful NPC is Illidan." When asked where he was, Caydiem responded. "Illidan is shy."
Illidan'southward famous quote, You lot Are Not Prepared!, has oftentimes been used past lore fans as a joke when he is defeated or something like that.

In Overwatch, another Blizzard game, you lot can have a profile flick of Illidan'south Head, and a spray of him with the words "You lot are not prepared!" sprawled across a green banner.
Many similarities tin can exist observed betwixt Illidan and the Queen of Blades Sarah Kerrigan of StarCraft franchise. These include:
Both Illidan and Sarah Kerrigan are Heroes Sargeras imprisoned by Pantheon and Illidan as Sargeras's Jailor and Amon killed by Sarah Kerrigan in Xel'naga Class.
