After the Greymane Wall was constructed and the Third War began , teenage Liam watched with his father and the mage Arugal as the Scourge approached atop the wall as a massive sea of the Scourge assaulted it in waves . Liam disagreed with his father over seceding from the Alliance and constructing the Greymane Wall . Forsaken Invasion . During the recent Worgen invasion , Liam was ordered by his father to oversee the defenses of the Greymane Wall which has been beset by the Forsaken that have come to take over Gilneas . He was also forced to abandon his post and ordered to secure Merchant Square . After the squares were lost when a large number of worgen were moving in and turning more citizens into these cursive beasts , Liam met up with his father and Darius Crowley in the Greymane Court . Liam suggested to stay and protect the city , but Crowley believed it would be better to have Liam to go with Genn and the Gilnean citizens . Soon afterwards , Lorna Crowley met with Genn and Liam shortly after her father decided to stay behind in the cathedral and make his last stand against the worgen . She had received word her father was free , but Liam told her that Darius made his choice to save the people . When Lorna pulled out her gun and took aim at Genn , cursing at him and believing this was his idea of revenge after the Northgate rebellion , Liam was able to restrain her , but the hysterical woman demanded she with her father before she began to cry in Liam ' s arms . While many worgen had been cured , Liam and his father led the Gilnean refugees to the village of Duskhaven . When the mighty Greymane Wall couldn ' t hold back the dead much longer and Forsaken were able to infiltrate the land , Liam still believed in his father , and that he could be a great leader once again . As the Shattering begun , Liam starts to engage the main Forsaken army , and therefore assists in the rescue of drowning soldiers and then evacuating Duskhaven . He travels to Stormglen with the other evacuees , but his stagecoach is attacked by ogre s before it can reach the village . With the help of a Worgen adventurer , he rescued a number of crash survivors and dealt with the ogres by tricking Koroth the Hillbreaker into attacking the Forsaken . Later , Liam met up with his father , who told his son the truth about how the curse spread and revealed to him that he was bitten . Liam was fine for what he was and the gap between the son and father was now filled . As the Gilneans unite due to the efforts of his father and Darius Crowley , he prepares to lead a counter attack against the Forsaken invaders . He leads his Gilnean soldier in reclaiming the land , but was later killed by Sylvanas Windrunner when he takes a poisoned arrow intended for Genn . He dies secure in the knowledge that the city had been retaken . He was buried in the holy ground of Aderic ' s Repose . Trivia .
