Broll Bearmantle Broll Bearmantle , along with Valeera Sanguinar , was a companion of Varian Wrynn . Biography . Tragic Past . Broll Bearmantle was born with antlers , an extremely rare gift of nature and a sign that one day he would do great deeds . For years people watched as his antlers grew and waited for him to manifest greatness . Over the long centuries he developed into a fine druid — very powerful , an amazing shapeshifter with many forms — but beyond that , he seemed nothing special . In time he was further gifted with an idol crafted by the immortal druid Remulos , son of the demigod Cenarius . The idol was connected to a green dragon , and through the dragon , Broll was linked to the Emerald Dream . The idol , however , could not help Broll in further developing his powers . He felt he had not fulfilled his promise . His " failure " began to eat at him . When the Burning Legion along with their Scourge slaves , invaded Kalimdor during the Third War . Broll found himself at Mount Hyjal battling undead and demons . His daughter Anessa fought beside him . Broll ' s command was cut off from the main resistance force . Drawn by his hidden core of druidic power , a group of powerful demons attacked . In his desperation , Broll , for the first time called to the deep earth to protect those who fought beside him . He stood his ground giving the others time to pull back toward the main army as the trees uprooted themselves and attacked undead and demons alike . He had been fighting all - out for hours . He was tiring and in the end , the pit lord Azgalor overwhelmed him . Broll dropped the draconic Idol of Remulos as he fell . Azgalor struck the idol with his polearm , Spite , infusing it with fel energy . The explosion of fel energy from the corrupted statue killed Anessa , who was trying to save her father . After the battle , Broll felt it was his fault that his daughter had died ; his grief and fury caused the spirits of the wild to abandon him : the stag , the panther , the seal , and the crow . But one spirit remained with him , the spirit of the bear , corrupted by fel magic and feeding Broll ' s rage . Despite this great personal loss , Broll saved many other lives that day and contributed greatly to the Alliance ' s victory . Gladiator . His grief eating away at him , Broll left night elf society and eventually allowed himself to be bought by Rehgar Earthfury and his ex - slave now - partner Bloodeye Redfist , and became a gladiator alongside Bloodfist and a young blood elf named Valeera Sanguinar . Bloodfist , however , was soon after assassinated and Rehgar found himself without a leader for his team before the Crimson Ring tournament . The answer to his problems came in the form of an incredibly skilled amnesiac human warrior nicknamed Lo ' Gosh who was later revealed to be none other than King Varian Wrynn . After working together as gladiators to win the Crimson Ring tournament , Broll aided and accompanied Lo ' Gosh in his escape from servitude . With Lo ' Gosh ' s strategies and Broll ' s power over nature , the two later aided the Silverwing Sentinels in defending Warsong Gulch from the Warsong Outriders . Unfortunately , Broll ' s rage had made his powers dangerous and chaotic ; almost causing a natural disaster had Lo ' Gosh not knocked him out with a stick . After the battle , Broll discovered that the corrupted Idol of Remulos had been retrieved by the Thistlefur furbolg s , corrupting them . For this matter , Broll and Lo ' Gosh flew to Thistlefur Hold in Ashenvale to cleanse the corrupted idol of its fel energies . They eventually succeeded in cleansing the idol , but only after battling the green dragon that was linked to the idol and a horde of corrupted furbolgs . In cleansing the idol , Broll was able to once again commune with the other spirits of the wild and soothe his rage . Broll and Lo ' Gosh brought the idol to Fandral Staghelm , who wanted to make sure that it truly had been cleansed . After studying the idol , he decided that it would be best if Broll left the idol with him in Darnassus .

Only Hamuul Runetotem knew that he was going . Broll also began receiving visions of Teldrassil overcome by corruption , which he felt that Azeroth or something similar was trying to warn him . As an experienced druid with the mark of greatness and sharing a personal connection , Broll was asked by his " shan ' do ' s " beloved , Tyrande Whisperwind , to help her find a way to return Malfurion ' s dreamform to his body , as Elune had revealed to her that he was dying . Fandral Staghelm was leading the archdruids to heal the ailing second World Tree as the only means to find Malfurion , but Tyrande had quickly realized that would take too long . Tyrande also revealed to Broll that before he had disappeared , Malfurion thought Broll important enough to discuss him with her . Malfurion had made himself very clear to Tyrande that he very much trusted him , and Broll ' s actions during the Third War had borne that out to her . He had understood that Broll needed to work through his grief and anger on his own . She chose Broll as she hoped his recent outside exploits would stir his personal loyalty for Malfurion greater than simply following Fandral ' s plan , and she was rewarded with his agreement that he would work with her instead .

Before he leaves , Tyrande asks Broll to call her by her first name , but he politely declines . He considers her first name only for Malfurion , and to him , she is his high priestess . Tyrande accepted this and did not push the issue further . Broll and Tyrande eventually free Malfurion from the Emerald Nightmare . Malfurion at one point reprimands Broll for considering himself a mere student in comparison to his former shan ' do . After the trying events of the Emerald Nightmare , Broll ' s eyes , which were silver at birth , now gleamed gold , yet not as resplendent as Malfurion ' s eyes . Broll had finally overcome the last , self - imposed barrier to truly become a great druid , his deep uncertainty replaced with confidence that he was now the druid he was always meant to be .
