Blackthorn

Blackthorn was a human bandit lord active in the Plaguelands during the Plaguelands civil war, at a time when Lordaeron was in ashes after the Scourging and its remaining inhabitants had turned on each other. Sylvanas Windrunner encountered Blackthorn's bandits during the battle between her forces and those of Varimathras. She used one of her banshees to take control of Blackthorn, forcing him and his men to serve her and assist in the battle against Varimathras.The Dark Lady (WC3 Undead)

==Quotes==
;Before possession
:Sylvanas: "You may as well surrender now, cretin. You'll be my slave one way or another."
:Blackthorn: "Never!"
;After possession
:Blackthorn: "Lady Sylvanas is master here. We fight for her, brothers!"
:Sylvanas: "Hmm... my own band of assassins. Intriguing."
==Trivia==
*His name was likely inspired by the Blizzard Entertainment game Blackthorne.
==Speculation==
As he does not appear in World of Warcraft, Blackthorn was likely killed by the Dreadlord Insurgents at some point during the war. The idea of he and his bandits serving as Sylvanas' "own band of assassins" seems to have been abandoned in favor of the Deathstalkers, who fill the same role.
