Garona ( movie ) Background . Garona was born to a female Orc while her father ' s race is unknown . However , her mixed breed was looked upon with scorn and disdain , and as punishment for birthing her Garona ' s mother was burned alive . Garona would live as a shameful example but was permitted to keep one of her mother ' s tusks . She would come to be the slave of the orc warlock , who used her as a translator due to her knack for learning other languages . She was taken through the portal to Azeroth alongside the war - band ; for some reason she was in the custody of other orcs when they came into conflict with , , a mage and their patrol . She and another orc were taken prisoner and when she spoke to them in their tongue the orc tried to kill her only for Lothar to slay him . Garona was taken to Stormwind and met with King and his queen , Taria Wrynn , where she explained the orcs had come from their dying world of Draenor to invade and conquer this one of Azeroth . While she was kept in a cell , Taria offered her a blanket and food , and Garona commented how killing her would give her honor among the Horde but did not ( unaware that Taria ' s brother , Lothar , was standing by with a weapon ready ) . In the morn , she led them to the orcs ' camp where the orcs had many humans locked up for Gul ' dan to sacrifice to open the portal and bring the entire Horde and orc race through . Garona would meet with , who instructed her to have the humans ' leader , Llane , meet with him in the hopes of making an alliance . Garona requested to join the Frostwolves but Durotan declined , saying she was safer with the humans . Despite objections by Lothar , Garona convinced Llane to meet with Durotan . At the meeting site , Garona acted as translator between the two parties and Durotan requested the humans ' aid to kill Gul ' dan and promised he would try to help the human prisoners . However , Durotan ' s best friend Orgrim Doomhammer foolishly betrayed his warchief to and the battle followed caused the deaths of several Stormwind soldiers , including Lothar ' s son . That night , Garona comforted Lothar for his loss . The next day , Llane and his warriors rode into battle , Garona accompanying them , against the Horde . Gul ' dan ( and his secret ally a demon - possessed Medivh ) succeeded in opening the portal ( killing hundreds of peiople and reinforcing the warband with many more orcs ) . However , Medivh was freed of his possession and used the last of his strength to change the portal ' s destination to Stormwind , allowing the surviving human prisoners to escape . But the king and his warriors were surrounded , Blackhand approaching to claim the honor of killing the enemy ' s chief , King Llane . Knowing there was no hope of escape , Llane ordered Garona to kill him so the honor would be hers instead , giving her a position of influence in the Horde where she would stand a better chance of bringing peace between humans and orcs . With great sorrow , Garona obliged Llane ' s request and killed him using the knife given to her by Lothar . As a result of kill the enemy chief , Garona was honored and Gul ' dan even welcomed her into the Horde , addressing her as an Orc and not a half - breed . Garona would watch as Lothar arrived to reclaim his king ' s body ( and notice the knife he had given to Garona in Llane ' s neck ) , only for him to be captured and subject to Mak ' Gora by Blackhand . Lothar slew Blackhand , avenging his son , and the Horde showed their respect and allowed him to leave with his king ' s body despite Gul ' dan ordering them to kill him . Garona convinced Gul ' dan to honor their traditions otherwise he could lose his sway over the Horde . Although she ' d done what she did in the hopes of pursuing peace , Garona would be seen as a traitor by Lothar and Stormwind , and the war between the Horde and the newly - formed Alliance had only begun . Parentage . Garona ' s parentage in the is definitely half orc and half human and not half draenei . It also is revealed her mother was supposed to be the orc side .
