Varian Wrynn

King Varian Wrynn I is the current ruler of the Kingdom of Stormwind and High King of the Grand Alliance. Born to King Llane, Varian was a young child when his father was assassinated during the First War. Anduin Lothar served as Lord Regent of Stormwind during the flight to Lordaeron and the retaking of Stormwind during the Second War. Varian was instated as king when he reached the Age of Ascension, and served as the ruler of Stormwind during the rebuilding of the kingdom. He was one of the few rulers to provide continued support to the failing Alliance of Lordaeron following the end of the Second War.
Varian Wrynn was abducted while traveling to Theramore Isle, in a plot involving the Defias Brotherhood. Following his disappearance, his 10-year-old son, Anduin Wrynn, was named ruler of Stormwind under the advisory of Bolvar Fordragon and Lady Katrana Prestor. Varian had managed to escape from the Defias but was suffering from memory loss and soon after enslaved by the Horde and became a gladiator in the Crimson Ring, teamed with Broll Bearmantle and Valeera Sanguinar. The trio won the Crimson Ring tournament in Dire Maul, for which Varian was given the Taur-ahe moniker Lo'Gosh — meaning "Ghost Wolf". After escaping his slavers, Varian discovered he was the missing King of Stormwind and his advisor Lady Katrana Prestor was revealed to be the black dragonflight broodmother Onyxia in disguise, who had manipulated the Defias and Nobles dispute, was behind Varian's kidnapping and created a duplicate of him using dark magic. With the help of his comrades, he was able to recover his true identity and finally defeat Onyxia.
