Aggramar Aggramar the Avenger is a titan . The bronze giant stares down impassively , his body wrapped in a gold toga . A huge , oddly - shaped sword is sheathed across his back ; the blade almost looks like the broken shard of some larger construction . Background . With the knowledge that demons Sargeras slew would merely return to new bodies - thus resulting in ever - increasing numbers of their ilk - the titans drafted Aggramar as a suitable warrior for combating the Legion . He was initially inexperienced in battle , yet picked up tactics and techniques taught to him with ease . Such was his skill and focus that Sargeras was quick to promote him to lieutenant . With his help , the demonic threat was largely contained , their fel forces imprisoned in Mardum , a world of Sargeras ' s creation . The two eventually agreed that they could cover and protect more of the universe if they split up . It was during this time that Sargeras discovered the true intent of the Void and became convinced that nothing short of annihilating the universe itself would assure the demons would lose . The Pantheon stood against him , as did Aggramar , and Sargeras departed to pursue his dark vision . Aggramar took over Sargeras ' s position , in charge of combating the Burning Legion and eliminating its demonic taint . Very bland and unemotional , Aggramar is much more cool - headed than his former master . He follows orders and implements tactics in a firm , professional manner , performing all duties as they should be done . The only emotion he feels is hate : he despises Sargeras with every ounce of his metallic blood . This rage could cloud his judgment and may be his doom some day . Aggramar ' s sword was once part of a larger weapon called Gorshalach ( " Dark Render " ) , which was the most powerful weapon in the universe . Sargeras wielded the mighty blade until his fall , when the weapon , semi - sentient , sundered itself in two halves rather than remain in evil ' s grasp . All that was good and noble in Sargeras ’ former greatsword was left in one half of the shatterbound sword . This half was useless to Sargeras , and remained on the battlefield where it was broken . Eventually Aggramar came into possession of the fragment and reforged the blade to wield as his own . Aggramar knows that if he ever unites his half , Taeshalach ( " Flame Rend " ) , with Sargeras ' s half , Gorribal ( " Dark Seether " ) , Gorshalach will be reborn . He desires this weapon greatly , but has not yet had the courage to confront Sargeras . Aggramar ' s role is based on eliminating the forces of destruction and dissolution , especially the Burning Legion , and protecting order from entropy through military prowess and combat might . Few on Azeroth know of Aggramar , though as a member of the Pantheon he receives the respect due to all powerful titans . Champions on numerous worlds revere him and cry his name as they charge into battle against the Burning Legion . Tactics . Aggramar begins most conflicts with meteor swarm and a wish to improve his defenses ( granting him additional deflection , or making him immune to low powered spells ) . He then uses storm , earth , and fire and enters melee , attempting to flank an opponent with the fire and air essences while the earth essence keeps other foes at bay . When the duration expires , Aggramar uses avatar and remains in melee , using his Epic Spellbreaker feat against spellcasters . He also favors Improved Awesome Blow and Moving Whirlwind Attack when the situation warrants . He alternates between avatar and storm , earth , and fire depending on the nature of his opponents . Long dead ? A tale of Lei Shen suggests the last members of the Pantheon , including Aggramar , have been dead for millenia , killed by Sargeras around the time of the forming of the Burning Legion . In World of Warcraft . In Legion , Aggramar was revived by Sargeras as an avatar of his former self housing his corrupted soul . While he is seen multiple times by players throughout their campaign on Argus , his main purpose is to guard the world soul of the planet within Antorus , the Burning Throne . One of the realm s in " World of Warcraft " is named after Aggramar . Path of the Titans . One of the Path of the Titans was named after him before Path of the Titans as a whole was cut . Mythological Basis . Aggramar might be based upon the Norse god , or he could be based upon the war - god . Thor and Tyr are the greatest of the Aesir ' s warriors and the generals of the armies of the gods . Intentional or not , Aggramar also draws parallels to . Freyr is the nemesis of , who can be equated with Sargeras , and he ( Freyr ) has the most powerful sword in Nordic mythology , which is also sentient like Taeshalach . Freyr ' s sword is one of a pair , meant to combat the sword of Surtr in Ragnarok , as Taeshalach is meant to combat Gorribal .
