Been leveling an alt to see the alliance side of the story in south barrens and just came across this guy. Seems really cool. Is there a character like him on the horde side?
Summary of what happens:
- He was the alliance general that realized that Taurajo was a soft target, not really a major one
- Found out that the greater hunters in taurajo were out on a hunt so he authorized an attack on it
- He ordered gaps in his lines to allow civilians to escape Taurajo, because he didnt want them being part of the battle
*(horde side from what I have read, not done the quest yet, is that those gaps lead to quilboar lands, not planned by him just how it ended up happening)
- He has looters in the ruins of taurajo thrown in chains for disrespecting the dead horde
- He keeps talking about peace and settling down, thinks that civilian casualties will never end the war. has a clear sense of what to do and not to do.
- His superior does not like his someone moderate stance to the war
- The ambassador with him thinks he is too soft on the horde
- Gets killed by horde assassins on his way to Fort Triumph. Basically horde thinks he left a gap but planned to do so by tricking the escapees into quilboar lands, getting them slaughtered, thus named him butcher of taurajo. But in actuality that wasnt his intention. Just more so shows how misunderstandings and grudges in war lead to endless conflict. Suspected that his superior and that ambassador betrayed him by letting the horde know when he will be on the move.
