Korialstrasz Korialstrasz is the prime consort of the Dragonqueen . In the guise of the elven mage Krasus , he is a senior member of the Kirin Tor , and one of The Six , the ruling council of Dalaran . Introduction . Korialstrasz is an ancient , wise , and powerful dragon of the red dragonflight . He was Alexstrasza ' s newest consort just prior to the War of the Ancients and continues to be so to this day . As her current prime consort , Korialstrasz acts as Alexstrasza ' s majordomo in all affairs . He is fiercely loyal to his queen , and was " first in love " among her consorts . As an active agent of the red dragonflight he is a protector of all things living , often spending time away from his queen and kin for his duties . He constantly watches over the younger races , often taking mortal guises and hiding amongst them . His most prominent guise in recent times is that of Krasus , a high elf mage of the Kirin Tor , and a member of the Six ; the ruling council of Dalaran . Another guise is that of Borel , most likely his alias among the Convocation of Silvermoon . Krasus appears to be a high elf wizard of extreme confidence , secure in his power and rank among the council . His very presence commands respect , and yet he is not proud or haughty . He remains in his elven form almost exclusively , transforming into a dragon only for special reasons or when in the presence of others of his kind . Those few who know his true nature have agreed to keep it a secret . Krasus remains in his elven shape as long as possible during battle , revealing his dragon form only if desperate . He almost never shows his great strength in physical combat , preferring instead to fight with the spells and other arcane powers at his disposal . Should he choose to show his dragon side , he takes to the air swiftly , using his breath weapon and spell - like abilities to speed his escape . For all his strength and power , he is actually quite inexperienced in draconic combat . After all , he ’ s had little opportunity to practice during his decades of roaming the surface of Azeroth in humanoid form . Biography . War of the Ancients . At the beginning of the first war against the legion , Korialstrasz became incredibly and inexplicably weak . The cause , which Alexstrasza later determined , was Korialstrasz ' s future self , Krasus , existing in the same time period as a result of being flung back from ten thousand years in the future ( See " Modern Era " section below ) . Neither incarnation was able to shape - shift during this time . After being rescued from Cenarius ' glade , Krasus was brought to Life Caverns , home of the Reds , where he was united with his past self . Despite great temptation , Krasus refrained from revealing any future events to anyone , even his queen , from fear of radically altering the future . Aided by a vision from the Timeless One , the younger and older Korialstraszs then teamed up to find the young druid , eventually joining the night elf resistance to the Burning Legion ' s invasion . Often , while Krasus led the night elf spellcasters , Korialstrasz would either aid the host from above , raining fire down on the demons , or rally some sort of surprise ally . Both Krasus and Korialstrasz fought valiantly against the likes of , the Destructor , the Defiler , the Destroyer , and their twisted former friend and allies , and his Black Dragonflight . After escaping the Great Sundering of the Well of Eternity and the legion ' s defeat , Krasus and his companions were returned to their own time by Nozdormu . Modern Era . Prior to the Second War , Korialstrasz assumed the identity of a high elf mage named Krasus , and became one of the senior leaders of the Kirin Tor — the ruling council of the magocratic kingdom of Dalaran alongside , and . He , along with his colleagues , questioned the young mage on the events that occurred in Karazhan some years previous — including the death of , the apparent presence of , and Khadgar ' s descriptions of Draenor . Krasus used his position to his advantage when Alexstrasza was captured by the Horde and held prisoner so that her children would serve the orcish war effort . Korialstrasz continued to fight the battle that his kinsmen had given up long ago ; the freeing of the Dragonqueen from the Dragonmaw Clan . All of that came for nothing though until , at the end of the war , the Kirin Tor sent on an observatory mission to Khaz Modan . Korialstrasz gave Rhonin other orders : to free Alexstrasza . Knowing that would surely arrive to kill the Dragonqueen , Korialstrasz attempted to seek out the other three Aspects , , , and , realizing only with their help could the black dragon be defeated . However , their responses held bleak hope for his Queen . Whilst trying to scry into Lord Prestor ' s hovel , he triggered a magical trap known as the " Endless Hunger " , and lost the two last fingers on his left hand . When the final battle at Grim Batol began , Korialstrasz assumed dragon form once more and made haste in order to recapture the Demon Soul from . Nekros tried to use the Demon Soul on him but despite its great power , Korialstrasz was able to break free . Weakened , he dropped to the earth where he summoned Rhonin to him and asked him to do this task . The three Dragon Aspects arrived and healed Korialstrasz , then battled Deathwing . The battle took a turn for the worse until Rhonin destroyed the Demon Soul and the Aspects could now attack with their full power . Deathwing was no match for their combined might , and fled . Korialstrasz was reunited with his Queen and , after gathering up her unhatched children , they disappeared off into the night . Korialstrasz was later called upon by Nozdormu to heal a rift in time . While exploring the time anomaly , Krasus and his former apprentice Rhonin were swallowed by the anomaly and thrown ten thousand years into the past . ( See " War of the Ancients " section above ) . Upon his return to his own time period , Korialstrasz delivered the axe and story of to the Warchief , then flew off to rejoin Alexstraza . Korialstrasz was later present for the wedding of Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind , as Alexstrasza was performing the ceremony alongside Ysera . In . Korialstrasz discovers that all of the eggs in the Chamber of Aspects have been exchanged for eggs belonging to the Chromatic dragonflight and , after becoming tainted by touching one of the hatched eggs , makes the ultimate sacrifice and uses his powers to detonate all of the Chamber of Aspects killing the eggs and himself in the process . Originally the Dragonflight assumed Korialstrasz was acting as an agent for Deathwing and the Twilight ' s Hammer clan ; however it is later revealed to an anguished Alexstrasza in a vision by Thrall that his act was actually one of sacrifice to protect all of the dragons from certain doom . His final word was Beloved and then it went dark . The Sunwell . Korialstrasz originally saw the re - accumulation of the Sunwell ' s energy , and did not want the Lich King ' s new death knight , the treacherous , to discover it . Korialstrasz formed the energy into a humanoid shape — the form of a peasant girl named . Hiding the truth from her until a later time , Korialstrasz gave Anveena the illusion of having lived a normal life . Though not intentionally , she came to life and gained feelings and emotions all on her own through his masterful illusion . Borel is revealed as the one whom the characters in the book search for to remove the collars from Anveena and . He began telling Anveena the truth — that she was the avatar of the Sunwell — when , the elf who allowed Arthas into Quel ' Thalas , intervened and began draining the power from her . Korialstrasz never meant to intrude upon the events taking place , until Dar ' Khan — upon gaining some of the power of the Sunwell he drained from Anveena — took control of the red dragon . Unable to break the mind control , Korialstrasz was forced to do battle with the blue dragon , until the spell was broken by . While the battle against Dar ' Khan continued , Korialstrasz had once more stepped to the side to observe all of what transpired . In the end , he said that he would continue to watch over Anveena and Kalec through the eyes of Raac as they stayed in the care of , the Regent of Quel ' Thalas . World of Warcraft .
