Daelin Proudmoore

'''"Can your blood atone for genocide, orc. Your Horde killed countless innocents with its rampage across Stormwind to Lordaeron. Do you really think you can just sweep all that way and cast aside your guilt so easily? No, your kind will never change and I will never stop fighting you."

- Daelin Proodmoore to Thrall '''

Daelin Proodmoore was an antagonist in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. He was the king of Kul Tiras and the Grand Admiral of the Alliance fleet during the Second War and before the Scourge invaded Lordaeron. After losing his eldest son Derek, Daelin developed a hatred for all orcs and doesn't believe that they would change although he spared a few of them in the Second War. After the Third War, he tries to annihilate the orcs both good and evil.

Daelin was a hero in the First War when he fought against the orcs with Anduin Lothar. During the Second War, he stands beside King Terenas Menethil and becomes one of main leaders of the Alliance of Lordaeron. His daughter Jaina met the Terenas's son Prince Arthas and they fell in love.

After the Scourge invaded Lordaeron, Daelin discovered undeads and demons, and a few survivors. After the Third War was over, he sails towards Kalimdor to search for his daughter and the survivors from the Scourge's invasion of Lordaeron. Jaina manages to gain the respect of Thrall, the warchief of the new Horde and they both make a peace treaty. Daelin however was determined to destroy the orcs and their settlements.

Daelin finds Jaina and was happy to see her alive. But he notices that she brought Rexxar and allies of the Horde with her. Ignoring Jaina's pleas, he orders his men to arrest them and takes control of Theramore to continue his genocidal campaign against the orcs. The Horde launches an attack against Theramore where Thrall and Rexxar confronted Proudmoore. Thrall tries to reason with Proudmoore by telling him the Horde is not the same on he has fought years ago. Refusing to believe the Horde reformed, Daelin continues to fight them only to be killed by Rexxar.
