And I don't even know if I'd characterize Wrathion as without a morality. Maybe not a morality we share, sure. But, at least on the surface, Wrathion does have a morality ... he believes life on Azeroth should be allowed to continue, and that anything that threatens it is "bad" and anything that promotes it is "good". To him this means that there must be sacrifices for the greater good, otherwise there will be a greater cost to pay.
Now ... I think the long run he will wind up a villain. Maybe in WoW, maybe in Warcraft 4 ... but he's going to ask us to make sacrifices we're not willing to make. Likely he's going to decide the world's best interests are in following his commands. It's pretty clear that moreso than him helping us, we're helping him.
But, sorta like with Garrosh ... I think we'll find Wrathion a villain that's not corrupted by forces outside his control, but rather we're in opposition simply over philosophical/moral/existential disagreement. He very well may summon the Legion ... which we might not find out about until after we beat them back. Maybe his goal is to bring about this conflict at the best time for it to happen in Azeroth's favor, maybe he's doing it to establish himself as the planet's ruler (and even then, maybe he truly believes it's our best interest for him to rule us). I think maybe even we'll find that most/all major forces in the game fall into this gray area ... old gods, burning legion, titans ...
