Baine Bloodhoof Baine Bloodhoof is the current High Chieftain of the Tauren , and is found in the Tauren capital of Thunder Bluff . He was a level 10 quest giver located at Bloodhoof Village in the tauren starting zone of Mulgore . He is voiced by Jamieson Price . Biography . The son of the great aging Cairne Bloodhoof and Tamaala , Baine fought alongside his father with pride and respect , and continued to defend his people when they established a home for themselves in Mulgore . However , in an attack by the centaur on their village , Baine was taken captive and taken back to their camp . He managed to stay alive , but he began to lose hope when all his fellow captives were killed one by one until he was the only one left . The tauren Tagar told Rexxar to find him and bring him back . So , Baine was rescued by Rexxar , and they battled their way together through hordes of centaur until they finally made it back to Cairne , who was overjoyed to see his son alive . After he was brought back with the help of Bovan Windtotem , Cairne Bloodhoof decided to join Rexxar ' s party . At Bloodhoof Village , Baine Bloodhoof leads an investigation into Venture Company operations to the east and a campaign against the Palemane gnoll s to the west . With his father growing older , Baine takes a greater role in the leadership of the tauren with each passing year . He has grown into a formidable warrior , but it will be some time before he matches his legendary father ’ s exploits . Baine attempted to warn the dwarven miners of Bael ' dun Digsite that their violent mining methods were hurting the spirits of the Earth and even attempted to scare them off by sending Adventurers to break their tools . However the dwarves did not listen and continued using explosives on the earth . In Cataclysm Baine was shown to be right as the enraged Spirits of the Earth rose from the ground and killed the dwarves of Bael ' dun Digsite . Stormrage . Baine appears as a minor character in the Stormrage novel . Taking place after the defeat of the Lich King , the book shows that Baine has become a major leader of the tauren . When the Emerald Nightmare begins to slowly claim all of the denizens of Thunder Bluff , he helps guide his people in their resistance , if however futile . Later , when Malfurion Stormrage calls for the warriors of Azeroth into battle against the Nightmare , he is one of the many to answer . Once within the Emerald Dream , Baine once again shows his aptitude for leadership . When the Horde express agitation about Malfurion giving leadership to Varian Wrynn for the battle , Baine is the first to stand by his side , alleviating all tension and showing that this conflict was above their petty differences . Although they fight a seemingly hopeless battle , the united Azeroth eventually claims victory , and Baine is able to return to his people to help repair the damage . Lands of Mystery . This information is from the RPG , however it is contradicted by the events in Cataclysm . It would seem that after Brann Bronzebeard had a chance to speak to the tauren chieftain at Thunder Bluff about the dwarves of Bael ' dun Digsite , that Baine Bloodhoof asked a group of young tauren to act as emissaries to the dwarven excavation of Bael ’ dun to convince the dwarves to cease their careless digging . Given enough effort , the tauren apparently convinced the dwarves to allow a shaman to oversee their site to make sure that the land is properly cared for during the excavation , and that the dwarves return to the land as much as they take . Baine then asked them to deal with the Venture Company as well – a more difficult proposition , however , it seems a few good axe swings were likely more effective than conventional diplomacy . Cataclysm . With Cairne ' s death at the hands of the Grimtotems , Baine is the racial leader of the tauren in " Cataclysm " . Following Cairne ’ s death in a duel with Warchief Garrosh Hellscream , Baine fled his home in Bloodhoof Village when the tauren matriarch Magatha Grimtotem ’ s agents attacked the village and seized Thunder Bluff . Although still pained by the loss of his father , Baine staged a counterattack on Magatha and her forces , ultimately retaking the tauren capital . In the end , Cairne ’ s honorable son spared Magatha ’ s life , banishing the matriarch and her traitorous allies to the harsh Stonetalon Mountains . Since then Baine has assumed the role of high chieftain of Mulgore ’ s courageous tauren . While bitterness might still linger over Cairne ’ s demise , Baine has pledged his loyalty to the Horde and its warchief for the good of his people , the tauren race .
