V in cinematic

[Artelia]

After Saurfang killed both rogues in cinematic there is HUGE focus on rogue's eye where is V under it.

Many people wanted to know. It's just random scar or it's symbol? If it is symbol. Who is V?

If you see cinematic. There is no reason why Saurfang do not warned Thrall before they attacked him even he knew about them.

He is only person i remember with name starting on V. Maybe he is more than rebel fighting for honor. Think about it.


Edit: I mean this scar. https://imgur.com/KYWPJyN

its a N or less likely a Z, not a V

no wait, you think they were under "varok" orders, so they(the rogues and Saurfang) set this theater, He is the bad person behind this.

come on now, this is a hell of stretch

[Sunderella]

seems like random putrefaction to me

[Super Dickmann]

Yes, because Saurfang carves his fucking initials into the rogues he hires for the purpose of his false flags.

???

It's just a chance to show off the high-res undead face they made and visually suggest Sylvanas' tears/tattoos.

I was confused about that tats as well. He was clearly checking to see an insignia: was it Sylvanas-related?

don't act like this would not happen or its impossible with this current team

I think thee is more behind, no reason to highlight that in specific, if its n'zoth then we know where things are going.

Pretty sure that's just to show their decaying skin to mark them as undead

[AcidicSyn]

Couldn't it have just been an undead Night Elf whose facial tattoo had become deformed in undeath? (Do cinematic NE ears poke out of their hoods or is that just a game thing?)

If it was an undead Night Elf, I wouldn't doubt if Sylvanas sent them with the plan of making it look like an Alliance assassination.

[Aucald]

I don't think it's either a letter nor is it meant to call to Sylvanas - only the right eye appears to have that scar, and I think it's just meant to show the suppurating nature of the Forsaken visage as opposed to having any form of ulterior meaning. Saurfang appears to be checking if they're indeed dead (again) by ensuring the yellow glow has gone from their eyes, and the tainted veins and scarring is just meant to emphasize their previously undead state.

Way too small to be a Night Elf, it is clearly an undead human female.

That would actually be a twist if it wasn't her at all. Just someone piggybacking on her own madness now.

I mean, Sylvannas is smart enough to know, two random rogues aren't going to kill Thrall, and they sure as shit aren't going to kill Saurfang. This is either a setup to bring him back because she wants him around for another purpose yet disclosed, or Saurfang is lying about something. His "honor" is laughable at best, as we are aware. So I'm honestly curious to see where this story goes.

I don't know. It look sort of fresh, at least for a Forsaken. Granted, it could of been from a recent battle but overall just seems like a very strange detail to randomly add.

[Okacz]

He did take off the rogues mask in search for something. If he did send those forsaken to assassinate Thrall (which could be a fun twist, Saurfang using underhanded, dishonorable tactics to get Thrall on his side), why the hell would he be checking for that? "Damn, I need to make sure that these undead are the ones I sent, not some other random forsaken who just stumbled upon Thrall"?

Other awesome theories:

1) V stands forfor Voss, elite forsaken rogue who is currently serving under Sylvanas and for some reason seems cool about it. Perhaps she is not cool, was given orders to assassinate Thrall and only sent her underlings, knowing they will fail and just get his attention.
2) V stands for Velonara, dark ranger serving under Sylvanas. Dark rangers were previously sent by her to handle other important threats, including Saurfang.
3) V stands for Varian, and it's actually Anduins plot. He mind controlled some forsaken, branded them with his fathers initial, formed them into secret troops and sent them to attack Thrall, so it seems Sylv did this.
4) V stands for the Vanshee Queen, from the time she wore Vans to work.

I was curious about that too, but I can't make anything of it. The closest I could find to some theory that I might agree with is that the mark underneath the eye is supposed to be reminiscent of the shattered mask and Sylvanas's burnt-in tear-marks underneath the eyes.

Otherwise I'd just say the skin cracked open during the fight or was already cracked open, because you know... undead skin might do that.


Edit: he may have simply checked underneath the mask because he had a description from one of the areas they passed through on their way to Nagrand. You know, while following them there.

The V stands for Vanduin

I though the same thing, the mark was something like a tatto made to honor the burned tears of Sylvanas but then again the mark can be a symbol of N'zoth or maybe the so called god of death that has been hinted to be the boss of Bwonsamdi and maybe scheming something malicious.

[Powerogue]

He sent assassins to kill himself because he's gotten that deep into self-loathing! It's so obvious!!!

OR, the eye mark was just stylization to make it more clear they were forsaken and not just very ugly, emaciated humans.

Yes, it stands for her villainy.

If you see cinematic. There is no reason why Saurfang do not warned Thrall before they attacked him

It's called the element of surprise. The rogues didn't know Saurfang knew they were there, had he told Thrall they would have attacked at another time.

They might have been sent by Valeera or Lilian Voss if the V does actually stand for something.
