Valeera Sanguinar Valeera Sanguinar , along with Broll Bearmantle , was a companion of . Biography . When Valeera was young , her family was killed by bandits . She survived both the bandits and the Scourge , seeking out a living by stealing what she needed ; however , when trying to steal a shaman ' s talisman , she was caught and jailed . Showing her fighting prowess by injuring several of the guards in the process , it ' s possible that is how she attracted the attention of the Arena promoter . The day before she was to implement her escape plan , Valeera was sold to Rehgar Earthfury so she could join Bloodeye Redfist and Broll Bearmantle in team combat in the Crimson Ring . Soon after , Bloodeye was killed and Broll told Valeera the stories of both Rehgar and Bloodeye . After Bloodeye ' s funeral pyre , Valeera and Broll were being transported in a caged wagon to Orgrimmar to be trained as gladiator s . On their way , they were joined by a human called Varian who had washed up on the seashore with no memory . When they reached Orgrimmar , they were caged once again ; with the human who did nothing but brood while the two elves argued . That evening in the cages , Broll offered the human a meditation remedy , and the man had a brief flash of memory . The meditation was interrupted by Valeera , which nearly sparked her and Broll coming to blows . Eventually the three traveled to Dire Maul in Feralas where the gladiatorial contests took place . After many bloody battles , they emerged the victors of the Crimson Ring tournament . Impressed by Varian ' s skill at arms , the crowd gave him the orcish moniker Lo ' Gosh ; which means " Ghost Wolf " . After winning the Dire Maul gladiatorial contests , Rehgar sold Valeera to Helka Grimtotem , a gladiator mistress , for 2000 gold . Helka wanted Valeera to lead an all - female gladiator team consisting of an orc and a troll . However soon after they set out for an exhibition game on the Merchant Coast , Valeera escaped with the wyvern Bristlefur . Valeera then went searching for Broll Bearmantle and Lo ' Gosh who have escaped from Rehgar Earthfury . As she followed them she discovered that an assassin was also trailing them . She eventually caught up with the assassin and , after catching it off guard , managed to defeat the assassin ( with the help of some local beasts ) . Worn out from the fight , she was rescued by Aegwynn who saw great things in her . Aegwynn reunited her with Broll and Lo ' Gosh who is revealed to be the lost king of Stormwind , Varian Wrynn . All three set out to leave for Stormwind City to return Varian to his rightful throne . During the trip across the Great Sea , Valeera helped Varian and Broll defend the ship against attacking naga , but during the fight she absorbed the arcane energies of a Naga sea witch ' s trident . It was this act which ignited her addiction to magic . After she arrived at Menethil Harbor , she along with Varian , Broll , and a dwarf called Thargas Anvilmar , started their journey towards Ironforge . On their way they were stopped by Vendellin Soulfire , a blood elf warlock sent to assassinate Varian . He placed the mark of Kathra ' Natir upon Valeera and by doing so caused the demon Kathra ' Natir to possess her . Because she was inflicted with the fel energies of a demon , her addiction was exacerbated . During Valeera ' s lapses of self - control , the demon would occasionally gain influence and take control of her body . She was left behind in Ironforge to adjust from her withdrawal from magic while the rest of her companions embarked on a mission to rescue Marshal Windsor . Secluded in her room , the demon tried to take control of her body by feeding her feelings of abandonment using visions of her deceased parents to verbally abuse her . But she regained control of her senses when a vision of Aegwynn told her she was not alone and that she had people like Broll and Varian who loved her . She later rendezvoused with Varian and Broll after their mission , informing them that she ' s better and in control of herself again . When the group got to Stormwind City , she helped reveal Onyxia ' s treachery and traveled with King Varian back across the sea to finally kill Onyxia . After the death of Onyxia , Varian offered both Broll and Valeera a permanent place in Stormwind , in which they could act as Varian ' s bodyguards and advisers . Valeera and Anduin convinced Varian that he should create peace between the Horde and the Alliance , but when the peace summit was about to happen , Theramore was attacked by the Twilight ' s Hammer clan . Although the Twilight Hammer ' s attack was repelled ; the peace summit was ruined and both the Horde and Alliance were left in distrust of one another . When the Scourge attacked Stormwind , Valeera remained in Theramore and made a deal with Garona to rescue her son Med ' an in exchange for her cooperation in revealing the identities of her masters . She later partnered with Meryl Winterstorm and traveled with him to Ahn ' Qiraj to save Med ' an . They found Med ' an , hanging on the dead body of the old god C ' thun and rescued him . But before they could get away from the ruins of Ahn ' Qiraj , they were intercepted by Cho ' gall who felled Meryl with one strike . Valeera absorbed some magic from Meryl and Med ' an in order to grow strong enough to fend off Cho ' gall , giving Med ' an who just regained consciousness enough time to heal Meryl . Cho ' gall was still too powerful to defeat and becoming desperate to stay alive , Valeera offered herself willingly to the demon inside her in order to use the demon ' s power to fend off Cho ' gall . When Meryl regained consciousness , he teleported them all away from Cho ' gall . When they reached a secure location , Valeera , who was possessed by Kathra ' Natir , lusted over Med ' an ' s power and tried to possess him , but Med ' an was able to reject Kathra ' Natir ' s advances . Meryl , along with the Council of Tirisfal , had banished the demon Kathra ' Natir thousands of years ago . In order to lure the demon away from Valeera ' s body , Meryl challenged the demon to possess his powerful magical body instead since he was unable to possess Med ' an . As the demon tried to possess him , Meryl proved himself the stronger of the two wills and repressed the demon within his body . Meryl then asked Med ' an and Valeera to never tell anyone about what happened between him and the demon . Wrath of the Lich King . In the pre - launch World Event , at Stormwind Harbor , Valeera appears underneath a statue complaining about the hospitality of the Alliance and urging the Alliance and Horde to remain focused on the threat of the Lich King . " Her appearance in Stormwind during the Scourge attack would later be contradicted by the events of the comic , where she helped Meryl Felstorm save Med ' an . " Valeera also appears in Tirisfal Glades next to Broll Bearmantle as part of the Wrath of the Lich King quest . In Legion . Valeera became a member of The Uncrowned in " " . Relatives . In " World of Warcraft " there is a blood elf paladin named Lord Sanguinar , one of Kael ' thas Sunstrider ' s advisors in Tempest Keep . Whether Valeera is related to him is unknown .
