Voutgar Blackhammer

Voutgar Blackhammer, known as "the Silverbeard", was a sorceror and the Dark Iron duke of Port Baradin, a hive of scum and villainy in the Wetlands. He took advantage of the succession crisis in Ironforge in the wake of the Highthane's illness. In the absence of Skirvar Thaurissan and Kurgen Featherbeard, Voutgar proclaimed himself Thane of the Dark Irons. To suppress suspicion of his ultimate motives, he nominated the Thane of the Bronzebeards for position of Highthane when the Highthane died.
Having formed an alliance with the Bronzebeards when Kurgen Featherbeard had departed in search of Relgast and having named himself Thane, Voutgar prepared for the ceremony to consolidate his allies' power. However, Relgast Anvilmar, Kurgen Featherbeard and Cerzimon reached Ironforge in time. During Relgast's coronation, Cerzimon broke loose and attacked Voutgar. With Skirvar's help, Cerzimon killed Voutgar Blackhammer to prevent a civil war which was fated to take place as was written in the prophecies of the Archivists.
Voutgar had an estranged son, Siolfor, who returned to Port Baradin sometime after his father's death to try to regain his position from Rogni Bronzebeard, who had replaced him.
