Aedelas Blackmoore

In the Warcraft universe in the rise of the lich king, Aedelas is one of the many passing characters but his story is learned in the Lord of the Clans where he is the main villain. He is a ruthless and ambitious but also shortsighted general whose determination was proven by his military successes which were necessary to cleanse his name, since his father was guilty of treason. He organized arena fights with his imprisoned orc servant Thrall and taught him countless things like fighting reading and writing which proved to be foolish and his undoing. Even in the paladin city of Lordaeron he used the corrupt tradition of the Colosseum to gain money, he physically abused his servant Taretha Foxton and gave her to Arthas in an attempt to curry favour with the prince while he was planning to seize the throne for himself.
