It's possible they simply copy pasted the entire embassy over from internal alpha, and then deleted him after. Or that he is part of the Embassy in 8.0 prepatch or in quests later in the PTR.
They added him for a reason, so I don't think it should just be waved off. It's not like there were any other random characters around in the embassies that were then taken out.
They removed him for a reason, because he didn't fit and is a neutral character just like Khadgar. Just because something is there because of an overzealous developer doesn't mean it has to mean something. He was there for 1 build, he's been gone for 6 builds, get over it.
Necromancy =/= resurrection. The reason every single time somebody in lore uses a mass res it's stated by Blizzard to be "Bringing them back from the brink of death", or "Saving them" rather than "Bringing them back to life". Even doing a fake mass res (what this is) isn't something any random priest can do. When I say it's absurdly strong I mean from a magical standpoint. This isn't something the Light normally deals in, reattaching a soul to it's body (perfectly, so as to not create an undead, mindless or otherwise). Single target rezes are used in incredibly rare cases in the lore, so rare you will actually have major issues finding them, and I'm unsure if there's ever a point where it was used any time after death (beyond like 1 hour?). To have a character suddenly be able to (without ever showing they can ST rez) rez multiple people in the middle of a battlefield instantly is absurd.

Why is the Horde Arguing?
Just send in Zappy Boy, he'll one shot the whole Alliance, and have Sylvanas res them as undead...
"I Am Vengeance. I Am The Night. I Am Felfáádaern!"
Necromancy in no way is the same as resurrection. For a start it's literally a curse that causes the light to burn you.
Player character resurrection is a kinda strange thing in the lore, we need to be able to do it for gameplay reasons, so a lot of the time it's brushed off as easy. Even in the pally quests they add this text: "Once he has been dead for too long, not even the Light can bring him back to us." (this is the blood elf one, you were gone for maybe 5 minutes.)
In the Borean Tundra quests he was ritualistically killed, and his body was used as an anchor for his spirit to learn about shamanism. This is a really abnormal case, and is one of those things I was talking about in my post where it DOES exist, but is pretty rare.
To my knowledge nowhere in the lore has a multi-target (Real) resurrection ever happened. Very rarely in the lore a single target res can happen, but even that is done INCREDIBLY sparingly, partly due to resurrections being pretty bad for storytelling. Every single time a mass res has been cast in game, for gameplay reasons Blizzard has stated it was "Bringing them back from the brink of death." Why would they suddenly give a magic that they've had to basically retcon, or reconfirm what's actually happening every single time it's come up to somebody? There's a reason Blizzard keeps resurrection magic away from the story. If a big moment, or tragic moment happens in the lore, and then a priest walks up, and just resurrects the character it largely diminishes the stakes of a story.
Looking further into this, Anduin has kinda rezed Varian, sort of? Again, this is a "Brink of death" situation, as the line above where it happens he's looking at his "dying" father, rather than dead. https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/st...y/varian-wrynn (page 6)
Even with just a single person being brought back from the brink of death Blizzard describes it; "Suddenly, liquid rays brighter than a thousand suns burst from Anduin's fingertips, penetrating the king's body and painting everything in a brilliant yellow glow. The guards gasped and stepped back, shielding their eyes as Varian's entire being was rocked by an influx of pure light." This isn't terribly different from what happened in the cinematic.

The Alliance gets to keep the Vindicaar? We get to keep that massive space ship that is capable of nuking fel fortified blockades and who knows what else? Cool.
As someone mentioned, we will blast them with azshara canon
That I know, and he banked on the Horde winning in WoD but that didn't get even close to plan.

Hence I said claim, most likely trying to repair his story since they didn't develop on him in Legion.

Khadgar doesn't see himself as an Alliance leader, though.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Probably. But I'd like to see his reaction in the upcoming Alliance vs Horde battle. His best friends(Alleria, Turalyon) are from the Alliance, is he going to do nothing? Time will tell.
(I know that Blizzard will probably don't do anything with him - like always with other heroes, but yeah, it's nice to speculate)
Yes, but he's from Alliance I guess. Sons of Lothar etc.

And how many of them?
The fact that there were ANY Draenei in the Army is ridiculous in itself. There's no way any draenei survived after Velen fled from Argus, and the ones who did became Argussian (no idea how the broken here are called). But somehow magically they DO have them, but not very much, just a bunch.
Void elves are also a small group of outcasts.
Where did I say anything like that?that btw are not, as you said, any better than any other elf.
And Lightforged draenei are pretty much the same as normal draenei since they are already close with the light, so might as well count them out too.That's funny...
The Highmountain tauren are pretty much the same as the dark iron dwarves, so i'm not even going to count them.
I mean do we really know if that thing won't just malfunction and blow half of Azshara into dust, and even then Sylvanas will want to rez them into Forsaken, can't do that if they all dust

Still it was made by Goblins, odd are there's a 95% chance they blow themselves up

You mean the chronomancy that Elisande used, that was powered by the Nightwell, which is now dead
- - - Updated - - -
That wasn't fear, that was realization that the Horde would now be lead by Vol'jin, who Varian knows is a honorable troll chieftain or whatever

That time manipulation magic was powered by the Nightwell, which is now dead
oh look at your headcannon op so great.
The horde has two of the primary elven forces on azeroth at its side, one with one of the few remaining fonts of the well or eternities power, and another with one of the most powerful magic users on azeroth. The alliance doesn't even have that anymore, with teldrassil burned down.
#boycottchina
Which is obviously a false statement they made prior because the updated Suramar City from the Patch, with it being a Horde City now, has time manipulation being used.

I see zero development in just placing him in a building, sitting in a corner, for a single ptr build(before removal) with no dialogue. That isn't development, that's an overzealous developer thinking he's cute.
