Medivh

Villain Overview

“	I'm sorry old friend. Seems I have let the Orcs into this world. The Fel... just twisted me, I... don't even know what else I may have done. I just... don't remember. Everything I thought to protect I have... destroyed. I can't control the Fel... no one can.	„
	~ Medivh to Moroes

“	Humanity is in peril! The tides of darkness have come again and the whole world is poised on the brink of war!	„
	~ Medivh

Medivh is a prominent character in the Warcraft universe.

He is a major antagonist in Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and returns as a supporting character in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and World of Warcraft. The only son of the sorceress Aegwynn, he was the last Guardian of Tirisfal, an ancient line of protectors bestowed with great powers to do battle with the agents of the Burning Legion.

He is voiced by Michael Bell.

Biography[]

He was corrupted even before birth, and possessed by the spirit of the demon lord Sargeras who used Medivh in his plan to conquer Azeroth. Medivh contacted the orcish warlock, Gul'dan, and together they opened the Dark Portal, which allowed the Burning Legion to begin its destruction of Azeroth. He was slain in his tower of Karazhan shortly after by a party led by one of his friends, Lord Anduin Lothar, and his former apprentice, Khadgar.

Shortly before the beginning of the Third War, Medivh returned as a mysterious prophet, manipulating events in order to arrange the formation of a last-ditch alliance between the mortal races on Kalimdor, guiding them to victory at the Battle of Mount Hyjal. The prophet's name means "keeper of secrets" in Thalassian. He possessed Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.

Trivia[]

Due to Sargeras' power, Medivh was such a powerful sorcerer that even Deathwing was afraid of him.
