Many times the characterization of these characters flips from one extreme to one other, with many being turned into far more antagonistic or mean that they were before, or sometimes on the contrary being turned nicer or more forgiving but without an explanation being given for these changes in attitude or them being only shown in books that most WoW players won't read. The best examples are surely Illidan Stormrage and Kael'thas in TBC who were turned into villains without any explanation or foreshadowing before, as well as Varian and Garrosh's changes iin personality after Cataclysm.
So I'll ask you guys, what should in your opinion the definitive personality for each character you can think about, the one that will stay true and won't change radically overnight like it happens too often in WoW ? What traits should always stay consistent for them ?
