Garrosh Hurlenfer

*Pour le combat de boss, voir Garrosh Hurlenfer (tactique).*

*"Je ne rend de compte... à PERSONNE !"*
**Garrosh Hurlenfer** était l'ancien chef de guerre de la Horde choisi par Thrall pour le remplacer à la suite du Cataclysme jusqu'à ce que Vol'jin lui succède après le siège d'Orgrimmar. Tout au long de l'histoire d'Azeroth, peu de mortels ont atteint une aussi grande notoriété que lui.

Garrosh a grandi sur Draenor dans l'ombre de son père, le grand guerrier Grommash Hurlenfer, chef du clan Chanteguerre. Grom fut le premier orc à boire le sang de Mannoroth, soumettant les orcs à la volonté de la Légion. Avant cet événement, Garrosh était avec plusieurs orcs ayant contractés la vérole rouge. Ils avaient été mis en quarantaine loin à Nagrand, leur permettant d'échapper à la corruption. Le jeune Hurlenfer eut honte de son père pendant des années jusqu'à ce qu'il rencontre Thrall durant la guerre en Outreterre et prit connaissance de la rédemption héroïque de Grom. Garrosh embrassa alors son potentiel en tant que fort dirigeant, notamment en Norfendre, où il dirigea l'avancée de la Horde à travers la toundra Boréenne et gagna le cœur de son peuple. Intransigeant et farouchement orgueilleux, Garrosh avait l'intention de restaurer la gloire des orcs par tous les moyens.

Alors que la guerre Alliance-Horde s'intensifiait, la soif de puissance de Garrosh le corrompit au point qu'il ne souciait plus des moyens utilisés pour permettre la suprématie des orcs sur Azeroth - avec lui pour chef suprême mondial - allant jusqu'à libérer la pleine puissance du cœur d'unDieu très ancien mort en le plongeant dans les Bassins de pouvoir, détruisant au passage la moitié du val de l'Eternel printemps, terre sacrée des pandaren.

En fin de compte, il devint l'antagoniste final de *Mists of Pandaria'* dans la guerre Alliance-Horde. Il est finalement vaincu et dépossédé de sa puissance puis capturé par la coalition au-dessous d'Orgrimmar. Il devait être jugé en Pandarie en tant que criminel de guerre mais il parvint à s'échapper sur une Draenor alternative par les efforts de Kairoz et des propres loyalistes de Garrosh aidés par le vol draconique infini. Là-bas, il put confronter Gul'dan et fut témoin de sa transformation en l'un des premiers orcs verts corrompus par l'influence des énergies gangrenées et changea lentement la course des événements menant à la naissance de la Horde de Fer.

Dans *Warlords of Draenor*, Garrosh avait déjà mis les choses en mouvement. Grâce à ses relations avec la compagnie Boîte-Noire qui l'avait fourni durant le siège d'Orgrimmar, il avait déjà donné aux clans orcs de Draenor toute la technologie dont ils avaient besoin pour construire leurs machines de guerre. Il parvint à convaincre le Grommash alternatif d'unir tous les clans orcs sous une même bannière et rejeta le sang de Mannoroth. Garrosh donna également l'idée de créer un portail entre la ligne temporelle alternative et principale dans le but de retourner exercer sa vengeance sur Azeroth, portail qui prit la forme d'une porte des Ténèbres dans la jungle de Tanaan qui utilisait des membres du conseil des Ombres pour l'alimenter. La Horde de Fer fut ensuite envoyée pour conquérir Azeroth, de même que le seigneur de guerre Zaela pour armer une étoile de Fer à l'intérieur du mont Rochenoire afin d'annihiler Hurlevent.

Il peut plus tard être trouvé en tant que seigneur de guerre du clan Chanteguerre à Nagrand où il fut finalement vaincu et tué par Thrall lors d'un mak'gora.

## Biographie

### Jeunesse

Garrosh est le fils de Grom Hurlenfer et de Golka, et est né sur Draenor. A un moment donné, le jeune Garrosh fut envoyé vivre à Garadar après qu'il ait contracté la vérole rouge. Alors que les orcs de Garadar prirent fièrement le nom de Mag'har, "non corrompu" en langue orque, Garrosh était tourmenté par les histoires sur son père. Il craignait que lui aussi ne fasse basculer les Mag'har dans les ténèbres.

### Au-delà de la Porte des ténèbres

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

Durant l'invasion humaine de Draenor, de nombreux Mag'har - les orcs non corrompus installés à Garadar, un bastion de Nagrand - étaient malades en raison de la vérole rouge. Garrosh était parmi eux.

Kargath Lamepoing leur rendit visite à Garadar à la recherche de guerriers pour l'aider. Garrosh l'interrogea à propos de son père et voulut le combattre, mais Kargath l'ignora en premier lieu, il dit aux Mag'har qu'il étaient des mauviettes et non plus des orcs, et qu'ils feraient donc une faveur à la Horde en mourant. Plus tardn Garrosh interrogea grand-mère Geyah sur son père, mais la réponse lui causa une profonde dépression.

### Chef de clan des Mag'har

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à The Burning Crusade.

Garrosh s'éleva finalement en tant que chef important parmi les Mag'har. Il fut aidé par Jorin Œil-Mort, fils de l'ancien chef du clan du Crâne-Ricanant, Kilrogg Œil-Mort. Quand nos héros rencontrèrent pour la première fois Garrosh, il était renfrogné, pessimiste, dépressif même. Il était inquiet de la santé de la matriarche de con clan, grand-mère Geyah, qui était malade. Garrosh savait que quand elle mourrait, il fallait qu'il s'attende à diriger les Mag'har et cela le troublait également. Garrosh pensait qu'il était destiné à répéter les erreurs de son père.

Garrosh admlit qu'il avait honte de son père. Les dernières nouvelles que Garrosh avait eu de son père était que Grom avait bu le sang de Mannoroth, et tout ce qui était arrivé après cet événement fut ignoré de Garrrosh pendant longtemps. En effet, Garrosh n'eut connaissance de la mort héroïque de son père qu'à l'arrivée de Thrall à Nagrand qui lui relata les faits. Apprenant que son père avait finalement dominé sa soif de puissance – Grom a donné sa vie pour que les orcs soient libres de l'influence démoniaque &ndash ; Garrosh sembla reprendre confiance, pensant qu'il n'était plus destiné à l'echec.

### Cœur de guerre - passé

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

In the story, Garrosh recalls the events of his first visit to Orgrimmar. Being the first Mag’har to set foot on Orgrimmar, many observed him with curiosity and some with awe. He encounters an old soldier from the first war who remembers serving with his father. The retired soldier tells him that he is proud to see a portion of their orcish legacy remain and would gladly serve under him if he could. He tells Garrosh that he will make his people proud.

Yet not all are happy to see Grom’s legacy and heir. An orc woman named Krenna is not impressed with his lineage, as she sees Grom as the one who instilled the blood curse on her people in the first place. Nor is she impressed with Garrosh for that matter. From Krenna, Garrosh learns the harsh realities the orcs have to contend with. It is very difficult to wrest a living in Durotar. Durotar is a desert, making farming impossible. Though the markets overflow, they rely heavily on imports from distant places. Ashenvale Forest would be suitable for their people’s needs yet Warchief Thrall prohibits them from settling there and any of their lumber caravans sent there are regularly ambushed by night elves. Meanwhile, the humans of Northwatch Hold and the dwarves of Bael Modan continue to contest their sovereignty over the Barrens and remnants of Admiral Proudmoore's Kul Tiras forces in Tiragarde Keep rob Razor Hill unchecked. Such incidents cause orcs like Krenna to become bitter and frustrated with their people’s leadership.

Garrosh is enraged by her contemptuous demeanor towards Thrall and Grom and threatens to assault her if she continues her treasonous attitude. Krenna’s sister, Gorgonna, intervenes to stop the fight before it started and urges Krenna to walk away. Krenna reluctantly stands down and walks away, leaving Gorgonna to apologize for her sister. Gorgonna explains to Garrosh that her sister doesn’t understand that her people live in Durotar as a way to atone for the crimes their people committed during the First War. Garrosh is also frustrated with her attitude and counters that their people did what they needed to do in order to survive and even if they did need to atone, why should the children of the orcs who had nothing to do with the war, have to suffer for the sins of their parents? Gorgonna shows him her green skin and explains that her people bear the mark and legacy of her people just the same and that she will atone in whatever way her warchief sees fit. Gorgonna tells Garrosh that he would not understand as he is a Mag’har, and because of this he is free of such a burden.

Garrosh is shocked that Thrall would ever be that unreasonable. He becomes irritated at Krenna’s words and the more Garrosh reflects on them, the more he becomes increasingly frustrated and impatient. Garrosh becomes frustrated with Thrall’s lack of action against the Alliance and the Scourge; frustrated with having to divide the orcs’ resources and forces to deal with the problems of the other Horde races; frustrated to see the Scourge infect their food supplies with plague and rain death upon them while Thrall refuses to unleash the full might of the Horde. Garrosh is determined to preserve Orgrimmar and restore the orcs’ glory by any means necessary, even if he has to force Thrall’s hand to do so.

### Sommet de la paix à Theramore

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux comics World of Warcraft.

Thrall brought with him Garrosh Hellscream back to Azeroth to be his advisor. Later on the retired gladiator master Rehgar Earthfury also became one of Thrall's advisors. Rehgar and Garrosh used to be in disagreement with each other: while Garrosh wanted to destroy the Alliance, who he considers the Horde's enemies, and take Azeroth for their own, Rehgar wanted to remain open to diplomacy with the Alliance and conserve their treaty of non-agression with Theramore.

When Thrall decided to go to a new meeting with the human King Varian, he brought with him his two advisors, Rehgar and Garrosh, as well as some Kor'kron. Rehgar recommended that Thrall not bring Garrosh with them, but the Warchief thought it would be a good idea as it would help Garrosh to re-think his attitude toward the humans.

Garrosh, alongside Thrall, traveled in a zeppelin to Theramore, where Varian and Thrall had a peaceful discussion with an eye toward mutual gain; though Garrosh thought it better for the Horde to take what they needed by force rather than exchange their resources. Varian had to leave early as Goldshire and Southshore were said to be under simultaneous distress by the Scourge. Upon exiting Theramore, the Twilight's Hammer cult invaded the city. After catching a glimpse of Garona, Varian thought that Thrall had sent her to assassinate him as the Shadow Council had done to his father. Garrosh accused the Alliance of plotting the attack in an attempt to lure him and Thrall into a trap while Varian accused the Horde of attempted assassination; specifically Garrosh. Though tempers flared between Varian and Garrosh, Thrall and Garrosh left Theramore peacefully. Garrosh felt that Varian had insulted the orcs' honor and that by leaving peacefully the orcs were losing face at the summit.

### Conseil de guerre

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Wrath of the Lich King.

Garrosh was present later in Orgrimmar in a meeting with Thrall, Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, High Overlord Saurfang, Grand Apothecary Putress and Rehgar Earthfury to discuss what to do about the Scourge. After consulting Saurfang and the spirits, Thrall favored a more cautious approach to dealing with the Scourge: an advance scouting party to the frozen continent before committing troops, as well as meeting with Jaina Proudmoore to find out what the Alliance were planning to do about the Lich King. Garrosh felt that dealing with the Alliance would put the Horde in danger and wanted to take the Horde's armies and conquer the humans and then march to Northrend and crush the Scourge; advocating that the Horde should rule all of Azeroth. Thrall, irritated by Garrosh's recklessness and bold challenges to his authority, answered that the humans were not a threat and that he would not underestimate the Lich King by walking blindly into a Scourge trap. Thrall then provoked Garrosh to challenge him to a duel by saying that he would not make the same mistakes as his father, Grom Hellscream. Frustrated with his leader's apparent lack of action and the insults to his father, Garrosh challenged Thrall to a duel in the Ring of Valor to settle the matter.

The two orcs fought for some time until it seemed Garrosh had gained the upper hand. He began to taunt Thrall, but the battle was interrupted by a Herald of the Lich King threatening Orgrimmar with destruction. Hearing this, Thrall used Chain Lightning on Garrosh and both left the ring, with Thrall telling the younger Hellscream that they would settle their dispute later. The city was attacked by countless abominations and frost wyrms and a few death knights.

Thrall and Garrosh led the forces of the Horde in repelling the Scourge attack, with the help of Saurfang, Sylvanas, Rehgar, the city defenders, and some adventurers. After the Scourge assault force had been dealt with, Garrosh asked to be sent to Northrend again. This time, Thrall agreed and ordered Saurfang to begin preparations for war.

### Guerre en Norfendre

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Wrath of the Lich King.

Garrosh Hellscream was named Overlord of the Warsong Offensive, the main army of the Horde Expedition to Northrend. He established his command post at Warsong Hold in the Borean Tundra, on Northrend's western coast.
Unlike his appearance in Nagrand, where he had been downtrodden and apathetic, Garrosh was much more hotblooded and reckless in his role as Horde commander in Northrend. His chief advisor, High Overlord Saurfang - who drank from the same chalice that corrupted Grom Hellscream - warned against Garrosh's savage tactics, fearing a resurgence of the bloodlust that had dominated the Horde prior to the death of Mannoroth. The two often spared over tactical decisions, particularly in regards to supply lines between the Hold and the Forsaken forces in Howling Fjord. Even if he disagreed with Saurfang, Garrosh appeared to have at least a grudging respect for the old warrior. Saurfang warned Garrosh that if he went too far against the Alliance and lead their people down a "dark path", Saurfang himself would kill Garrosh. Garrosh did not challenge Varok, but snidely questioned how he had managed to survive so long without falling victim to his guilt and sense of morality.

Despite Saurfang's warning, Garrosh appointed commanders and they conducted the war in such a manner as to focus strongly on battling the Alliance. In particular, Conqueror Krenna, the commander at Conquest Hold in the Grizzly Hills, bucked completely the war with the Scourge in favor of making war with the Alliance. Like Garrosh, she was hotblooded to the point of recklessness in pursuing the Alliance, so much so that she had to be deposed by her sister Gorgonna, an underling at Conquest Hold. The commander of Orgrim's Hammer above Icecrown was also concerned with defeating the Alliance in Icecrown, and even *within* Icecrown Citadel, the Horde faced off against the Alliance, as the Skybreaker and Orgrim's Hammer did battle as well.
Garrosh is a firm believer of “honorable” combat; as evidence of his deprecation of the Broken Front. Though he endorses conflict with the Alliance as much as possible, he will only permit it if it is done in a manner that fairly tests the martial prowess of the Horde. Using underhanded tactics such as poison and mind control is considered “cowardly” by his standards.

#### Les secrets d'Ulduar

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Wrath of the Lich King.

Thrall and Garrosh were summoned urgently to Dalaran to speak with the leader Rhonin. Arriving before the human King Varian Wrynn had departed, Garrosh and the king proceeded to skirmish in the Violet Citadel, but Rhonin halted the fight with a magical shield before harm came to either. Rhonin suggested that the Horde and Alliance work together against the new threat of Yogg-Saron in Ulduar, but Garrosh and Varian were partisan to the idea and Wrynn was portalled out. Garrosh expressed the opinion that a *true* Warchief would never partner himself with cowards.

#### Cœur de guerre

After the events at Dalaran, Garrosh and Thrall traveled back to Warsong Hold. On the way Garrosh contemplates the past events where Thrall first brought Garrosh to Orgrimmar (as seen above). After defending Warsong Hold from an attack from the Scourge, Thrall witnesses a report given from Icecrown about the Horde forces flanking the Alliance during their assault. Thrall watches as Garrosh deals with the situation, telling the general from Icecrown that the Horde would fight with honor or not fight at all. Thrall, watching Garrosh, feels proud of him for his decision.

*Article détaillé: Argent\_Tournament#Alliance\_and\_Horde\_leadership*
Garrosh, alongside Thrall, was later in attendance at the new Crusaders' Coliseum in Icecrown, surrounded by various champions and representatives of the Horde. During the tournament Garrosh requested that Tirion uses warriors of the Horde to challenge the heroes in the tournament in order to show the strength of the Horde. He will cheer on Horde players following their victories.

### L'Effondrement

 Fichier:Gift of Gorehowl.jpg

Cairne Bloodhoof travels to Warsong Hold to meet with Garrosh and Varok, and though impressed with the hold's fortifications, cannot help but compare it to architecture seen during the previous wars. With the war in Northrend as good as over, Garrosh is recalled to Orgrimmar to experience a hero's celebration, in honor of the Horde's victories under his leadership. While on their way to a ship, Garrosh and Cairne were attacked by Kvaldir, but Garrosh revealed hidden weapons which were used against the Kvaldir. While on route, Garrosh waylays an Alliance carrier wrecked at sea. He disposes of most of its crew, reasoning that it is in Horde waters, though a distressed Cairne urges him to relent. Garrosh then gives the survivors supplies and rations, informing them that they had witnessed both the Horde's might and the Horde's mercy. Garrosh and his crew are satisfied with the outcome, though Cairne shows signs of concern.

Back in Orgrimmar, Garrosh and the Northrend veterans are given a warm welcome by Warchief Thrall, and Garrosh encourages all veterans of the expedition to participate. A celebration is held in their honor, and Thrall later bestows Gorehowl, the axe of Grom Hellscream upon Garrosh. Garrosh displays a natural affinity for the mighty weapon, like his father before him. The land of Durotar is naturally harsh, and recent signs of elemental distress and disasters had further weakened the orcs' land. Now without reliable supply routes, and the night elves of Ashenvale refusing to allow trade with the Horde following the Wrathgate fiasco, the citizens of Orgrimmar are on the brink of experiencing a famine. Thrall, Cairne and Hamuul Runetotem resolve to negotiate peacefully with the night elves, as Hamuul holds a high position within the Cenarion Circle comprised of both tauren and night elves. Garrosh is outraged at such a notion. Viewing the Wrathgate as a tragedy to both factions, Garrosh concludes that the night elves boast no right to stand in the way of their survival - and that the orcs should simply take what they need to survive by force. His suggestion is rebuked by Cairne, and after a heated exchange, Garrosh excuses himself. Though the Northrend victory was a cause of great celebration in the Horde, a rough road seems to await it, and Thrall calls upon a meeting.

Garrosh, observing the skull of Mannoroth and lost in thought, is approached by the enigmatic Magatha Grimtotem. He immediately expresses a mild disdain for the Grimtotem matriarch, noting that hers is the only tauren tribe who had not sworn loyalty to the Horde. Magatha simply offers him words of support, ensuring him that the Grimtotem will join the Horde when needed - and that Garrosh himself would be exactly what the orcs need, precisely when they need it. Garrosh is appreciative of that sentiment at least, and the two retire.

The elemental upheaval begins to increase in potency, and Orgrimmar itself is caught aflame by rampant fire elementals. No longer able to properly converse with the maddened beings, Thrall decides that action must be taken to discover the cause of this chaos, and begins preperations for a journey to Nagrand. This is not an act he can undertake as the Warchief — and Thrall is forced to consider a temporary replacement. Thrall's immediate thought is Cairne, though the elderly tauren was not an orc - in times such as this, unrest would likely follow if such a decision was made. Thrall laments the death of Dranosh Saurfang, who would have made an ideal Warchief, and this line of thought brings him to another conclusion; another orc who could keep the Horde together during his absence: Garrosh.

Garrosh is summoned to Grommash Hold, and Thrall officially names him the acting Warchief. Taken aback, Garrosh hastily mentions that his place is on the battlefield; that he knows much of war and tactics, but little of politics. Thrall ensures him that he will not be alone in this task, and that Cairne, Eitrigg and Vol'jin will be on hand to advise him. Garrosh accepts this charge.

Now as the highest authority figure within the Horde, Garrosh begins to repair the damage wrought on by the elemental uprising — beginning with the remodelling of Orgrimmar. What was once little more than a village of huts, had become an aggressive bastion of a capital, reinforced by the metals used in Warsong Hold. Garrosh reasons that no fire will be able to spread again with this, and he and Cairne appear to finally see eye-to-eye.

Events are set in motion outside of Garrosh's control - the peaceful meeting between the tauren and the night elves is sabotaged by agents of the Twilight's Hammer clan, posing as agents of the Horde, who brutally murder the entire gathering and unknowingly leave Hamuul as its only survivor. Hamuul, likening the agents' attitude to that of Garrosh's, informs Cairne of what had occurred.

Cairne berates Garrosh over the events that had transpired, just as Garrosh finished being ritually tattooed. Among them was the very same distinctive jaw tattoo that his father had, by an orc tattooist that had been apprenticed to, and had assisted, the orc that had tattooed Grom. Cairne accuses Garrosh of orchestrating the unprovoked attack on the druids, though Garrosh informs him that had he been behind it, he would have announced it to the world. After another fierce exchange, their time as allies essentially breaks down, and Cairne concludes that Garrosh is not fit to lead the glorious Horde after all - and that for the sake of the Horde, Garrosh must be dethroned. Cairne challenges him to a Mak'gora for the title of Warchief, though Garrosh ups the stakes, forcing it to be a battle to the death in an attempt to deter his opponent. Cairne gladly accepts, and informs Garrosh of the rules befitting a proper Mak'gora — the dress-code and of the shaman's blessing allowed on their weapon of choice.

Garrosh's earlier encounter with Magatha seems to have bore fruit, and the Grimtotem matriarch offers to bless Gorehowl.

Garrosh and Cairne begin battle in the Orgrimmar Arena, their fighting styles initally cancelling each other out fairly well. As Cairne begins to land serious blows upon Garrosh, Garrosh is backed into a corner. Garrosh attempts a desperate strike, slicing Cairne's chest and shattering his runespear. Though a formidable blow, it did not seem to appear fatal - until Cairne inexplicitly collapses from it. Though surprised, Garrosh quickly takes advantage of the situation, and with one final glance at Cairne, deals him the killing blow.

Unbeknownst to Garrosh, Magatha had used him as an instrument in her betrayal of Cairne. Lacing Gorehowl with poison, she had ensured that even minor blows would be fatal to the High Chieftain. Elated, Magatha begins the next step of her plan: the hostile takeover of Thunder Bluff, and the death of Cairne's son and successor, Baine Bloodhoof.

Garrosh finds himself dealing with mixed emotions. Though still not entirely sure of why Cairne had accused him of such a crime, he was satisfied with the knowledge that it had apparently been a fair fight. Eitrigg quickly dispels this notion, and upon observation, the two discover traces of the same poison that had sealed Cairne's fate. Enraged and distraught, now knowing that he had unwittingly robbed Cairne of a fair fight, and that Magatha had robbed him of his own honor, Garrosh lets his rage take him.

Magatha, now in control of Thunder Bluff, requests aid from her new Warchief. Garrosh replies via letter, wishing her a violent demise, and ensuring her that no aid will be given - her life is now in the hands of the Earth Mother. Having believed she had found a useful tool in Garrosh, Magatha is infuriated by his response.

Without aid, Magatha and the Grimtotem still loyal to her are defeated by Baine Bloodhoof and his followers. Garrosh and Baine meet in the Thousand Needles, and Garrosh attempts to mend his bridges with the equally betrayed new chieftain. Expecting the same challenge from Baine that Cairne had given him, Garrosh is surprised when Baine refuses such a notion. Outing Magatha as the true traitor, Baine offers Garrosh the loyalty of the tauren people. Impressed, Garrosh gladly accepts.

### A l'orée de la nuit

Garrosh Hellscream rallied an army of Horde forces, the bulk being of said army being Forsaken, for an attack on Gilneas. Intent on conquering the nation for a port, Hellscream was prepared to launch an invasion when two things occurred preventing him. The first was having to deal with Apothecary Lydon's suggestion and later plea to use the Forsaken plague, which was denied and the second being the arrival of Sylvanas Windrunner. While Sylvanas was able to convince Garrosh to let her run the Invasion of Gilneas, he privately remarked to himself that the eyes of Hellscream were on Sylvanas closer than ever.

### Comme nos pères avant nous

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

While Garrosh and Baine had been able to put their lingering animosity behind them for the good of the Horde, new conflicts begin to arise around the time of the shattering. With the industrious goblins making use of Azshara for the Horde's military needs, the backlash of this had resulted in Orgrimmar's water supply becoming tainted and unfit to drink. Frustrated, Garrosh makes the journey to Thunder Bluff, and speaks with both Baine and Hamuul Runetotem about using shipments of water from Mulgore to rectify this problem. Though both Baine and the Archdruid are apprehensive to bow down to this demand, after some mutual haranguing Baine agrees to it. Garrosh reiterates that as Warchief of the Horde, it falls to him to keep its people safe, and leaves.

The shipments appease Garrosh, and before long the people of Durotar have fresh water to drink. Garrosh's attitude towards his tauren allies result in a number of them feeling alienated; some even going as far as to consider leaving the Horde over their chieftain's apparent passivity and Garrosh's increasing demands of the tauren people. As Baine struggles with this, he also learns of quilboar raiding parties harassing the water supplies and killing the tauren people. Garrosh quickly discovers this, and once again makes a trip to Thunder Bluff to confront Baine over it. While Baine is adamant that a peaceful solution to the situation is possible, Garrosh is outraged. He points out to Baine that the quilboar are attacking Horde lands and killing Horde citizens, and that he will not stand for either. Garrosh ensures him that realistic action will be taken to remove the quilboar threat once and for all.

Garrosh, together with a small regiment of 15 Kor'kron, storm the quilboar tunnels and cut down phalanxes of the beasts. As victory appears near, the quilboar launch a massive-scale ambush and overwhelm the Kor'kron regiment in the hundreds. Garrosh is backed into a corner, and while he is able to take down many more quilboar, the tide turns against him and is disarmed of Gorehowl. As things look bleak, Baine, Hamuul and several of the Sunwalkers arrive to relieve the battle. After the High Chieftain asists in dislodging Gorehowl from the tunnel wall, Garrosh and Baine fight off the quilboar and make their escape, arriving safely at the surface of the tunnels. While Garrosh is too infuriated for words, Baine informs him that the quilboar had been lacking a water source too, and Hamuul creates a river for them on the grounds that no more attacks are made against the tauren. The quilboar slink away, and the Horde forces leave triumphant.

Baine ensures Garrosh that if the tauren people require aid again, they will inform him of it, and with that, he turns his back on the Warchief and leads his people back to Thunder Bluff. Having ignored good advice, severely underestimating his enemy, getting 15 elite warriors killed for nothing, and knowing that he has completely and thoroughly embarrassed himself in general, Garrosh travels back to Orgrimmar via zeppelin without a word. Despite their misgivings, Baine later reaffirms his loyalty to the Horde that his father helped to shape.

### Offensive d'Orneval

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

Shortly after the shattering, Garrosh personally led his troops into the neighbouring borders of Ashenvale. While his Warsong Clan had made considerable progress over the course of Warchief Thrall's reign, it is a far cry from the ambitions that Warchief Hellscream desires to achieve. Garrosh plans to create a massive city in the heart of the forest, one with the potential to rival Orgrimmar in size and power. With rich minerals ripe for the taking, and all of the tools needed to see his people grow, Garrosh surges viciously through the kaldorei ranks and cuts a swathe of destruction straight to the Silverwing Outpost. Having brought down a number of tamed proto-drakes and magnataur captives from Northrend that he domesticated by holding their young hostage, Garrosh plans to see his dreams of expansion realized.

His attack on the Outpost results in a decisive Horde victory. Garrosh reflects on how the forest that gave his father such harsh resistance is falling, piece by piece, and wonders what the mighty Grom would have made of this triumph. He concludes that not even Thrall could deny his prowess at this point, and will hail him as the champion of the orcish race and the entire Horde.

Garrosh's plan is twofold - he had gained knowledge of a meeting between the leaders of the Alliance, and strikes at this point in order to lure out Tyrande Whisperwind. As he had expected, the priestess arrives on the scene to relieve the waning sentinels, though the Horde unleash the magnataur upon the Alliance's ranks. In the ensuing chaos, Tyrande was struck down and wounded by orc archers. Confident in a victory, Garrosh also takes the fray.

The battle is interrupted by the arrival of worgen reinforcements led by Varian Wrynn and Genn Greymane, who proceed to fight back several magnataur. On several occasions, Garrosh and Varian clashed and did battle; with both leaders matching each other's attack, blow by blow, and killing all who interfered with their duel. Though evenly matched at first, Varian eventually gained an advantage. Varian had been fighting with an in-explicit focus and unyielding vigor. While Garrosh tired, Varian was still full of stamina, which allowed Varian to press on his attack. Garrosh is fought back at this point, and Varian succeeds in wounding him and disarming Gorehowl. A dying magnataur separates the two combatants, and Garrosh composes himself. He prepares to rush at Varian once more, though is held back by several Kor'kron; urging Garrosh to retreat. Garrosh grudgingly complies, though not before swearing to kill Varian himself.

### Cataclysm

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Cataclysm.

Following the shattering, Garrosh begins to take a far more ferocious stance in his war with the Alliance - leading his forces in a rampage through Ashenvale in order to secure the much sought after supplies his people need. His actions have caused the orcish people to avoid the famine that threatened Durotar prior to his ascension. He believes that if the blood of the selfish Alliance is required to give his people the essentials they need to exist, then so be it. Hellscream's ascension has been applauded by most orcs, who feel that his brash warrior instincts and unwillingness to negotiate for needed resources are more in tune with the true orc way.

Garrosh evicts the majority of non-orc NPCs from central Orgrimmar, believing only they possess the strength to truly defend the city. Every race is still accounted for and while being a tough leader, Garrosh sees value in all the races that belong to the Horde and uses them to the best of that value. Shortly after the Shattering, he created a new army - Garad'kra to deal with the centaur problem.

Nevertheless, Garrosh has paid little heed to opinions originating outside of his race and is not one for diplomacy—with the Alliance or even among the members of the Horde. Already distrustful of the other branches of the Horde, Garrosh has learned that the various leaders of these factions are more powerful than he had originally estimated. Garrosh comes into conflict with the Darkspear Chieftain, Vol'jin; Garrosh's relationship with him breaking down in a similar manner to that of Cairne - culminating with Vol'jin threatening to kill him for his thirst for war. The fallout between Vol'jin and Garrosh has subsequently led to the mass exodus of the Darkspear trolls from Orgrimmar. Led by a dissatisfied Vol'jin, this rift between the orcs and trolls has spread the Horde's once-concentrated military mighty thin.

Following the defeat of Trade Prince Gallywix, Thrall sends goblin agents to meet with Garrosh and join the Horde. Garrosh is shown an SI:7 emblem, and notes that he knows the meaning of this all too well. The events of the aforementioned As Our Fathers Before Us appear to take place at this point.

Garrosh's thin tolerance for the Forsaken is tested further after he orders them to invade Gilneas, as the Horde needs a port in the Eastern Kingdoms. Though Gilneas is initially conquered, the Gilneans are able to counterattack and push the Forsaken forces out of the city. Growing irritated, Garrosh sends his own forces to support the Forsaken, and a stalemate is reached. Garrosh later meets with Lady Sylvanas Windrunner in Silverpine Forest, and is present during her demonstration of the val'kyr's great necromantic abilities. Though the Forsaken are appeased enough by this solution to their plight as a people, Garrosh is disgusted. He dispenses High Warlord Cromush to "guard" Lady Sylvanas, and after an insulting exchange with her, leaves.

Garrosh has also explicitly banned use of the Forsaken blight, though weaker versions are considered acceptable. Most of the Forsaken seem to pay little heed to this, and the more powerful strains have been used multiple times since.

During the events of Ashenvale, a demon named Durak attempts to renew the orcs' dependence on fel-power. Garrosh demands his head for this transgression. Garrosh also recruits the Shatterspear tribe into the Horde in order to mount an attack on the night elves from Darkshore.

Following Overlord Krom'gar's assault in the Stonetalon Mountains, Krom'gar's corrupt general arranges the murder of several neutral druids studying in the Thal'darah Grove. Krom'gar uses a massive bomb to completely eradicate the Grove, though Garrosh himself confronts him for these actions. Quoting words he had heard from "a wise old war hero", Garrosh grabs Krom'gar by the neck, and hurls him off the ledge of Cliffwalker Post, causing him to plummet to his death. He is humbled by High Chieftain Cliffwalker's talk of "mercy", and thanks him for this lesson.

Garrosh later sends Warlord Bloodhilt to salvage the situation in the Southern Barrens.

Garrosh personally spearheads the assault into the Twilight Highlands, organizing an impressive air fleet to obliterate the Twilight's Hammer cult, and claim the land for the Horde. After giving an inspiring speech to this effect, Garrosh is informed of an Alliance fleet nestled below- and orders his air support to destroy them. This backfires when - due to treachery from within - the Horde fleet is ambushed, undefended, by Deathwing and his twilight drakes. Although Garrosh is personally able to fend one such drake off, his ship itself suffers massive damage and falls into the ocean below. The remainder of the fleet suffers a similar fate, crashing down into the sea. Garrosh himself is considered missing in action.

Without Garrosh's direct leadership, the Horde turns to the neighbouring Dragonmaw Clan to strike up an alliance. After failed negotiations with their master, Overlord Mor'ghor, the Horde forces join a Dragonmaw rebellion led by Warlord Zaela, successfully dethroning Mor'ghor and his fel orcs. Garrosh, who had survived the crash, arrives at Dragonmaw Port and officially inducts Zaela and the Dragonmaw into the Horde.

With the assault on the Highlands going well, Garrosh turns his attention inwards- and learns that the earlier ambush was a result of treachery at the hands of Sauranok the Mystic, who had thrown his lot in with the Twilight's Hammer. Garrosh quickly disposes of the treacherous Sauranok with the player's assistance.

### Jaina Portvaillant : le Déferlement

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

Garrosh has granted amnesty to any members of the Blackrock clan willing to swear him their allegiance. One such orc, a formidable warrior named Malkorok, has become Garrosh's own bodyguard. Malkorok goes about quieting dissent through intimidation, abduction and outright murder, and gains Garrosh's tacit approval to do so. Garrosh has also successfully blockaded Kalimdor, giving the Horde a succinct advantage at sea. Perhaps most notably, Garrosh's newfound military might has allowed him to keep a far tighter leash on his more critical allies, such as the Darkspear and the tauren, whose people and land are most at risk of Garrosh's wrath should Baine or Vol'jin make any moves against him. As such, the western Horde essentially finds itself held hostage for its good behavior.

With the Cataclysm over and the threat of Deathwing subsided, Garrosh has reinvigorated his plans for conquest. Garrosh aims to forcibly expel the Alliance from Kalimdor, and claim the continent for the good of the Horde. He expresses this desire in a meeting with the other Horde leaders (Baine Bloodhoof, Vol'jin, Sylvanas Windrunner, Lor'themar Theron, and Trade Prince Gallywix, along with Malkorok and Eitrigg, the only advisor remaining from Thrall's reign), much to the chagrin of the former three. Garrosh intends to scour Theramore from the continent, and stunt the Alliance's military presence. With that done, he then aims to take the night elves' land.

Sylvanas takes an issue with this, reasoning that the Alliance would strike at the Forsaken and sin'dorei in vengeance for Theramore, though Garrosh ensures her that any Alliance retaliation will be dealt with. Of his fellow leaders, Lor'themar is the only one who opts not to question Garrosh's goals or motives, Gallywix caring only so far as profit is concerned. Coupled with the regent lord's lack of sympathy towards Sylvanas, Garrosh develops something of a respect for Theron. Nonetheless, Garrosh orders all of the leaders watched, and Theron in particular after a loaded discussion with him about loyalty.

Garrosh retains his desire for acknowledgement, believing his conquest of Theramore will earn him the respect of Baine and Vol'jin, who in turn will be rewarded for coming around. Garrosh's plans for the isle go beyond what is common knowledge: Garrosh's agents gain knowledge of the Focusing Iris, and Garrosh orders the blue dragon escort protecting it to be slain, the Iris itself delivered to the warchief. Garrosh also orders the creation of another mana bomb, the formidable blood elf invention created by the Sunfury years before in Outland.

The warchief spearheads the attack on Northwatch, using it as a stepping stone to Theramore (and an excuse for the gathered Horde warriors to have a glorious battle). He is accompanied by Malkorok, Vol'jin and Baine, along with Gallywix. Garrosh takes note of the trade prince's eagerness, though is irritated that Sylvanas and Lor'themar were not present. In Sylvanas's stead, Captain Frandris Farley and a Forsaken regiment arrive to represent her interests, while the Blood Knight Kelantir Bloodblade and two ships of blood elven warriors are sent on behalf of Lor'themar Theron and Halduron Brightwing. With each race of the Horde accounted for, Garrosh makes quick work of Northwatch, and marches on to Theramore.

Garrosh's allies continue to express concern for the direction their Horde is heading in. While Garrosh refuses to see anyone, reflecting on his looming victory, Baine calls a small council to address the unsaid concerns brimming in the more moderate Horde's ranks. Garrosh interjects this gathering, having been tipped off to the meeting's location, and angrily lashes out at his allies for daring to question him. Garrosh ensures Baine and Hamuul that he is not Thrall, and writes Thrall off as a weak "pacifist," blaming his predecessor for the Horde's problems. He also backhands Kelantir as she attempts to interject, though quickly composes himself, and tells them that they are lucky their warchief is willing to overlook this deceit.

Later, Baine and Vol'jin tried to convince Garrosh to move the army, only to be stunned by Garrosh's order - to have Horde ships pulled back.

Garrosh dispenses Malkorok to the front lines, who promptly leads the Horde forces in skirmishes around Theramore Isle. Garrosh's spy, a Sunreaver mage named Thalen Songweaver (ostensibly neutral), turns on Theramore's defenders and assists the Horde in breaking into the city. With the help of Horde soldiers, Thalen is able to escape his predicament after being captured, and the true scope of Garrosh's plan is revealed.

Garrosh orders a full retreat, having pushed the Alliance into the center of Theramore. The mana bomb, augmented by the power of the stolen Focusing Iris, is dropped directly over Theramore. The entire isle is utterly annihilated, with such brutal force that not even an insect survived. The casualties of this swift move are colossal — many of the Alliance's best and brightest generals are killed by the bomb, Lady Jaina Proudmoore herself only narrowly escaping it.

Having achieved a total victory, Garrosh is utterly elated. He speaks of the foolishness of his enemies — that he had stolen the Iris from under the noses of the Kirin Tor themselves, and now nothing of Theramore stands to oppose his conquest. Many of his soldiers are similarly thrilled at this victory, though others are repulsed: Baine, horrified, flees into the swamp to get away from the carnage as Malkorak laughs in his face. Baine also thinks back on the irony that Garrosh has just committed a far worse crime of dishonor than what he had executed Overlord Krom'gar over.

This victory would not be without its consequences. Jaina, having survived the attack, is warped by the traumatic experience and twisted by the residual energies of the mana bomb, swearing to destroy Garrosh. Her quest for vengeance takes her to Orgrimmar itself, where she prepares to slaughter its population in a similar manner to the fate her own nation suffered, though ultimately stays her hand. Instead, she attacks Garrosh's fleet, engaged with Varian Wrynn's own.

Garrosh engages Varian once more, taking their duel count up to three. This time Garrosh holds his ground against Varian far better than their spar in Ashenvale, albeit once more the battle is cut short. The Alliance retreat from Durotar, and take back Northwatch for good measure.

Having narrowly avoided a catastrophe in Orgrimmar, and with Northwatch retaken, Garrosh orders his coastal blockade of Kalimdor to fall back. Baine is pleased with this decision, viewing it as Garrosh giving up his conquest. To his horror, Garrosh states that his plan has changed: instead of expelling the Alliance from Kalimdor, Garrosh now aims to wage a war of total genocide. After being informed that he will lose Baine's support should another Theramore happen, Garrosh merely smirks at the tauren while remarking that such information is "duly noted."

Garrosh's brutal reign has had several lingering effects on both his allies and enemies: Vol'jin, though geographically most at risk of Garrosh's wrath, has privately given up all hope for him, and falls back to the Echo Isles to plan his next move; Baine, horrified at Garrosh's drive for genocide, has similarly fled back to Mulgore, while Jaina Proudmoore (now the Kirin Tor's new leader after Garrosh indirectly killed Rhonin) — although in a far better state of mind — has resolved to see Garrosh removed from power.

Meanwhile, Varian himself has gained knowledge of the burgeoning discontentment in Garrosh's ranks, and plans to have these "Horde rebels" take power from Garrosh in the long run.

Garrosh makes a dark proclamation: every man, woman and child is to assist in the war effort against the Alliance, and any found shirking their duties will face the wrath of the Kor'kron.

### Mists of Pandaria

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Mists of Pandaria.

Due to the destruction of Theramore, the Alliance has become motivated to the war effort instead of crushed as Garrosh originally intended. While being informed about the various navy battles by the newly promoted General Nazgrim the Warchief was shocked to learn that during a naval battle in the south Alliance forces were run aground. Upon learning about this new uncharted land, Garrosh becomes enraged that the Alliance got there first and quickly orders the General to gather his best men to secure the new land for the Horde.

Some time afterwards Garrosh will greet new pandaren who have sworn allegiance to the Horde along with Ji Firepaw. He will instruct them of what he expects of them in Quest:Joining the Horde and tests their martial prowess by unleashing his captured beasts on them in the Ring of Valor.

#### Le débarquement

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Mists of Pandaria.

Roughly two months after the initial foray into Pandaria, Garrosh himself arrives with the bulk of the Horde fleet, and quickly goes about removing the local Alliance presence along the shore of Krasarang. Garrosh and Vol'jin have yet another clash of opinions about his warmongering at the newly-constructed Domination Point, resulting in Garrosh, long tested by the Darkspear chieftain's criticism, ordering his rival's outright murder (under the guise of Vol'jin being sent on a mission with the Kor'kron). Vol'jin survives the attempt on his life, and it is revealed that Garrosh had put the Darkspear Isles under martial law. Members of his own Horde join forces with former Warchief Thrall to liberate the isle, and take down Garrosh's men. As a deterrent, Thrall himself takes up the leadership of the isles in Vol'jin's absence.

Horde heroes are instructed to report Vol'jin's death to Garrosh, and remain close to the warchief – biding their time and finding other like-minded members of the Horde to save their coalition before Garrosh's rule destroys it.

Garrosh then travels to the Shrine of Two Moons, where he is present with Malkorok, Ishi and the regent lord of Quel'Thalas, Lor'themar Theron. He learns from Malkorok about the mogu race and takes a special interest in the iron-fisted rule of the mogu and their technology (remarking to Malkorok that he has much to learn from them), being particularly attracted by their ability to create new warriors and fuel emotions to their height in order to drastically increase battle prowess. Garrosh had sent a expedition led by Fanlyr Silverthorn to Ancestral Rise and wants to see results. He is pleased when Fanlyr reveals to him information about the Divine Bell.

Some time later, Garrosh traveled to Fire Camp Bataar, which he turned into a horde camp, and was investigating any mentions about the bell with Delia Sunseeker. It is there that Agent Connelly and an Alliance adventurer spied on him and learned about the Divine Bell too.

Theron and his regiment is later sent to Mogujia but they are overpowered by the Mogu. Garrosh clashes with Theron too after neglecting to mention a strong mogu presence that resulted in several blood elven casualties. Garrosh then observes Theron and his elves at the mogu ruins in Kun-Lai. The blood elves are planning to capture a mogu leader, Shan Kien. Theron sends a horde hero along with a farstrider and a blood knight to defeat the Mogu Warlord. Garrosh arrives during the battle and throws Gorehowl at the Mogu leader, almost killing him. Garrosh then demands information about the Divine Bell but Shan Kien only mocks at him. When Garrosh is preparing for a final blow, Fanlyr stops him telling him that the mogu is the only key to the Divine Bell and that the blood elves will make him speak. Garrosh agrees and leaves telling him that should Fanlyr disrespect him once more, his head will be placed atop of a pike in Orgrimmar.

Shan Kien is captured and brought to Garrosh'ar Advance. Back in the Shrine of Two Moons, Baine Bloodhoof, too, arrives on Pandaria, and works to undo (or clean up after) the chaos Garrosh leaves behind during his stay, including (but not limited to) curing sha-corrupted soldiers at the Shrine of Two Moons. Garrosh is discussing with Lor'themar and Baine about the Sha power. Garrosh insists that the Horde will control the power. Theron leaves with a Sha artifact back to Silvermoon where he is to examine the artifact. Garrosh then sends a horde adventurer to Silvermoon to get information. Like Vol'jin before him, Lor'themar becomes increasingly weary of Garrosh's rule; and after multiple instances of his people's welfare being disregarded by the warchief (including Garrosh's demand to look into a mogu artifact resulting in a sha being released in Silvermoon), Lor'themar considers pulling Quel'Thalas out of Garrosh's Horde, and reconsidering old Alliances.

Garrosh and Baine travel to Garrosh'ar Advance where he is interrogating Shan Kien in order to find out the location of Divine Bell. Baine finds a more peaceful way. His way is successful, and Shan Kien reveals the location of a tomb, where the Bell is located. However, Alliance has been spying on him for a time and too, discovers the location. Garrosh sends Ishi to retrieve the Bell only to find that the kaldorei entered the tomb shortly before the horde arrival and took the bell to Darnassus. Garrosh then sends Fanlyr Silverthorn, his agent in the Sunreaver organization, and some Horde champions to locate the bell in Darnassus, obtaining it. Jaina Proudmoore discovered that the Sunreavers played a part in the theft, and purges them from the city of Dalaran. Many fleeing blood elves (including Aethas Sunreaver) are rescued by Grand Magister Rommath; and, in the aftermath of the conflict, the Sunreavers come to hold Garrosh just as responsible for their removal from Dalaran as Jaina herself. This act puts a stop to the prospect of Lor'themar joining the Alliance: by organizing a heist in Darnassus after learning of Lor'themar's talks with Varian (and focusing blame on the blood elves for it), Garrosh was able to sabotage the notion of the sin'dorei leaving the Horde.

Later on, Garrosh amassed Horde forces at Emperor's Reach with the Divine Bell in tow. Garrosh spoke about the Horde's grand destiny, and how he will use the Divine Bell to erase weakness from his orcs and create a stronger Horde. Garrosh rings the Divine Bell and it turns his kor'kron into Sha. After they are dispatched by the player, Prince Anduin Wrynn intervenes and tries to deter Garrosh from using the Divine Bell. Anduin's pleas fell on deaf ears, and Garrosh used the Divine Bell to sha infest his champion Ishi, who the player then has to fight. Though Garrosh encouraged his troops to master the Sha energy, in the end, none of his champions were able to do so. In the aftermath of the battle, Anduin used the Harmonic Mallet to turn the Divine Bell's chaos into pure harmony. This stuns Garrosh but Garrosh recovers and strikes at the bell and destroys it; causing its rubble to fall on Prince Anduin. The impact of the bell has caused Anduin's bones to shatter. Believing Anduin dead, Garrosh lets the Alliance champion live to relay the fate of Anduin to King Varian; thereby illustrating the price for his continued defiance. Garrosh then flies off, manically laughing at the thought of the Alliance's and particularly King Varian's suffering. Though the Divine Bell was destroyed, Garrosh is still determined to master Sha energy.

#### Le roi-tonnerre

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Mists of Pandaria.

Garrosh is said to be preoccupied at Domination Point, thus not paying attention to the isle. Lor'themar Theron leads a Sunreaver-heavy coalition against the returned Thunder King, to claim his weaponry as leverage against Garrosh in the event of an uprising.

#### Escalade

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Mists of Pandaria.

Tired of Garrosh's warmongering, large portions of the Horde are now rising up against him. Garrosh brands the entirety of the Darkspear tribe as traitors to the Horde, forcibly taking over their holdings while oppressing and executing their members. The already precarious racial division of Orgrimmar takes another hit, as the Valley of Spirits is taken over by the Kor'kron and various non-orc members of the city are rounded up, chiefly among them the tauren.

This turn of events puts a dent in Lor'themar and Vol'jin's collaborative plot to overthrow Garrosh, as with his people in direct danger (while Theron is finishing up on the Isle of Thunder and across the sea besides), the Darkspear chieftain is forced to declare open rebellion and return to Durotar. Dubbed the Darkspear Rebellion, this first push against Garrosh culminates in the rebels claiming the Echo Isles all the way up to Razor Hill. Thrall, Baine Bloodhoof, and Chen Stormstout also throw their support behind the rebellion, fighting their way ever-closer to Orgrimmar.

Garrosh also faces the threat of an Alliance invasion. SI:7 agents are sent to gain intel on Garrosh's movements and pave the way for the arrival of the Alliance's main force, and also learn of the rebellion taking place. In order to subvert the Horde further, the Alliance lends aid to the rebellion.

Garrosh has not given up on his desire to wield Pandarian artifacts, and sends a goblin excavation force to unearth the dark powers resting under the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, shipping them back to Orgrimmar and storing them in Ragefire Chasm. Horde agents speculate that Garrosh is preparing for yet another invasion, though the target is unclear. Garrosh has also called in the aid of Warlord Zaela and General Nazgrim to put down the rebellion, and has conscripted mercenaries to supplement his Kor'kron force.

#### Siège d'Orgrimmar

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Mists of Pandaria.

After the goblin excavation team in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms discovered the sealed heart of a deceased Old God, Y'Shaarj, Garrosh traveled to observe his secured bounty. Realizing the heart was dormant, Garrosh fought his way through the Shado-Pan to submerge the heart in the vale's pools. He was confronted by the Shado Pan's lord, Taran Zhu, who attempted to end Garrosh's rampage across the continent, but was defeated when the warchief choked him with dismantled rails and impaled him upon Gorehowl. Garrosh told his defeated opponent that the other races of the world will no doubt attempt to stop him, and that moreover, he is counting on it: no matter what the world throws at him, Garrosh was confident that his newly-unearthed power would be able to prevail, and that all those against him would find themselves impaled upon Orgrimmar's spires.

Garrosh hurled the dormant heart into the pools, causing a chaotic surge of sha energy which corrupted the surrounding area. Garrosh retreated to his underground fortress, leaving behind even his father's weapon in favour of a new, Old God-forged visage of it - Xal'atoh. After moving the heart to Orgrimmar, Garrosh became crazier and more xenophobic, though he was not controlled or corrupted by the Old Gods.

Garrosh moved the heart into his own personal sanctum within the Underhold, a large underground complex located deep within the Ragefire Chasm below Orgrimmar. With the entire city under martial law, Garrosh issues commands from within the compound and plans to conquer the entire world for his True Horde using his newfound powers. He has also allowed the Paragons of the Klaxxi within his compound, who act as guardians of the Heart. Garrosh also gifted some of its power to Malkorok. The Alliance and Horde (under the name 'The Darkspear Rebellion') formed a coalition to stop the crazed dictator, along with Adventurers freshly arrived from containing the destruction Garrosh had laid upon the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. The group laid siege to the city and successfully made their way into the Underhold and fought past all Garrosh's traps and lieutenants to find Thrall confronting Garrosh and pleading him to cease his genocidal war.

Garrosh refused to co-operate, calling Thrall weak and sadistically stating he'll take pleasure in destroying everything the Horde and Alliance had created. He even briefly tortured his old mentor physically, as his Dark Shaman had tortured the elements for miles around, thus causing them to strike out at Thrall when he attempted to call upon them. Thrall overcame this and faced Garrosh in melee combat, only to be easily beaten. Garrosh then turned his attention to the Adventurers and engaged them in battle with the support of the True Horde, the iron stars, and the power of Y'Shaarj itself.

The battle took place not just in the Underhold, but also in Y'Shaarj's twisted pocket dimension, shaped to resemble places where immense Sha outbreaks had occurred on Pandaria. The Adventurers held out, however, and in a last ditch effort Garrosh became an avatar of the Old God by absorbing all the Heart's remaining power. But it still wasn't enough, and the evil Warchief at last collapsed from his wounds, the power of Y'Shaarj dissipating from his exhausted body, after which the Alliance, Horde and Pandaren leaders arrive to take him into custody and decide his fate.

##### Futures possibles

In one of the most devastating possible outcomes — as shown by the Vision of Time — Garrosh lays waste to Stormwind City, leaving the entire harbor in ruins and corrupted by Y'Shaarj's power. He also impales the corpses of all rebel Horde leaders, as well as the Wrynn family, Jaina Proudmoore, Tyrande Whisperwind and Taran Zhu to adorn a ruined stairway leading to the city proper and to serve as a dire warning for anyone that would oppose his new order. The same vision is encountered during the Heroic mode fight against Garrosh.

Another vision shows him to be defeated lying on the ground surrounded by all the leaders of Horde and Alliance. The final vision of Garrosh shows him to be caged up in the Temple of the White Tiger where Anduin Wrynn visited him, possibly referring to a scene from the *War Crimes* novel.

##### Défaite et capture

After the Alliance/Horde adventurers defeated Garrosh and the Heart of Y'Shaarj, Garrosh was knocked to the ground and incapacitated. Thrall, leaning over Garrosh's body, told him of how disappointed he was in him, and prepared to deliver him a final blow: a death sentence carried out by the Doomhammer, but was stopped by King Varian Wrynn, who declared that Garrosh's punishment was not for him alone to decide. Thrall was also reluctant to allow the Alliance to decide Garrosh's fate. Taran Zhu and Lorewalker Cho suggested that Garrosh instead be taken to Pandaria to stand trial for his heinous crimes against the peoples of Azeroth, to which Varian and Thrall agreed. Garrosh was then taken by Taran Zhu and the Shado-Pan out of the room.

### Crimes de guerre

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

After his defeat, Garrosh was transferred to the Temple of the White Tiger where a trial would be conducted for his fate. Caged below the temple, Garrosh dreamed about his father and his home, Draenor. Garrosh wondered whether, if his father were still alive, he would be proud of his son.

When everyone had arrived, Garrosh was brought forth before Taran Zhu, the jury and the many witnesses. There he was told of the crimes he was being accused of. He merely clapped and made a mockery of the trial, comparing it to the Darkmoon Faire and causing a great commotion. Once things were settled down, he was appointed a defender from the Horde who was Baine Bloodhoof. Baine tried his best to defend Garrosh but he did nothing to help his case. Baine suggested he open up to someone, unless he had a death wish. Garrosh decided he would only speak to Anduin Wrynn. While cautious at first, Anduin accepted.

Many times Garrosh and Anduin spoke, discussing many things. Anduin repeatedly tried to get Garrosh to repent and admit what he had done was wrong. Garrosh, however, would always turn things on the young boy and make him question things he held dearly. On the eve of the trial's verdict, Garrosh was extremely agitated. He did all he could to infuriate Anduin. Eventually this worked and Anduin nearly attacked him. Instead he reached out and smacked the food from Garrosh's hands. Garrosh grabbed his arm and twisted it but Anduin told him the food was poisoned and he had saved his life, which made Garrosh release his arm. Before Anduin left the room, he asked the guards to remove the shackles from around the orc's legs so he could once again walk like a true warrior.

Before the verdict was given, Garrosh was given a chance to speak. He said Tyrande Whisperwind and Baine both gave great arguments. He even spoke to Anduin and said how he believed people could change. Just as Garrosh was about to admit his regrets, he stunned the room but shouting he regret nothing and would do it all over again. Kairozdormu, who had been tinkering with the Vision of Time during all of this, created a portal that allowed him and Garrosh to escape to an alternate Draenor that was set 35 years in the past. Upon surfacing, they happened to be in Nagrand.

### Hurlenfer

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux romans et aux nouvelles de Warcraft.

Garrosh and Kairoz eventually make their way to Nagrand, the lands of the Warsong clan. The plan was to locate the alternate counterpart of Garrosh's father, Grom Hellscream, and rally the orc clans into a different kind of Horde. But Kairoz did not intend to stop there; he intended to use the shards of the Vision of Time to find his way into many other worlds, and find other Hordes to send back to Azeroth, believing that this would give him infinite power. However, after learning that the shard would be able to take him back to Azeroth of his present time, Garrosh took the shard and stabbed Kairoz to death with it, declaring that orcs would never be used as pawns again.

Traveling to a nearby Warsong encampment, Garrosh came forward as a stranger with no clan, but claimed his heart was Warsong. Speaking boldly, he declared that he had come to prevent the Warsongs from becoming slaves, and declared that Grom would have led them willingly to such a fate. As a result for this insult, Garrosh was subjected to a *Mak'Rogahn*, a "duel of will", to prove his honor by fighting against four members of the Warsong clan who were supposed to be on guard duty and had failed to spot him. Garrosh defeated his opponents, with the spectators commenting that the stranger fought like Hellscream. Following Grom into his tent, Garrosh spoke vaguely about the fate that awaited the orcish people, that Gul'dan would enslave their race to unseen masters by offering them a "gift", and that Grom would be the first to take it because he could not tolerate another taking it first. Revealing the shard from the Vision of Time, Garrosh described the kinds of weapons he had used as Warchief of the Horde on Azeroth, including mana bombs and iron stars. He called on Grom to rally the other orcish clans against their true enemy, and suggested taking the shard to the Stones of Prophecy to show the Warsong chieftain the truth of his words. Grom cautiously agreed, threatening to take Garrosh's head if he was lying; Garrosh replied that if he could not convince Grom of his sincerity, his life meant nothing.

Garrosh watched as Grom took the shard into the presence of the elemental spirits who showed him, the elements, and the shaman who watched over the stones the truth of Garrosh's words: Gul'dan's bargain with Kil'jaeden, the drinking of the demons' blood (showing that Grom had indeed been the first to do so), the First and Second Wars against the humans, their defeat at the hands of the Alliance, and the withdrawal from demon magics that left the orcish people broken. However, Garrosh intentionally hid the truth of Grom's redemption at Demon Fall Canyon by killing the elder shaman who had seen ahead and interrupting the vision before Grom could see it. When Grom emerged from the vision, he pledged that he would not allow his people to be slaves, and sent runners to the other clans to tell them of what he had learned. Grom called on Garrosh to stand at his side and fight with the Warsong, for there was a long road ahead; Garrosh proudly declared that he would fight to the death.

### Gul'dan et l'Etranger

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif aux comics World of Warcraft.

Gul'dan sent a message to the orcs promising them untold power. In reply, Grommash Hellscream sent Garrosh, disguised as a messenger, to Gul'dan wishing to know more about the cruel orc's intent. Gul'dan replied that he had seen a vision, and a Legion wanted the orcs as their vanguard. Much to Gul'dan's surprise, Garrosh knew serving this Legion meant drinking the blood of Mannoroth and enslaving the orcs to the demons. Angered at Garrosh's accusations of slavery, and proclaiming himself to be a god, Gul'dan had his guards remove the messenger from the premises. In response, Garrosh slew the guards. Gul'dan told Garrosh that in three days the orcs would drink from Mannoroth's blood on a mountaintop and from there march to victory. Garrosh lowered his hood, revealing his identity, and told Gul'dan that in three days Grommash will stand on the mountain as well and lead the orcs to embrace their *true* fate.

### Warlords of Draenor

 Le contenu de cette section est exclusif à Warlords of Draenor.

On the fateful day when the orcs where poised to drink the blood of Mannoroth and become slaves to the Legion, Garrosh accompanied his father to confront Gul'dan and give the warlock the Warsong clan's answer to his offer of power. However in this universe, Grom rejected Gul'dan's encouragement to drink the blood, and Garrosh coordinated an ambush on the warlock and Mannoroth himself using the orcs' new technology. Garrosh's Iron Star was launched at Mannoroth, distracting him for long enough to allow Grom to execute the demon. Garrosh pushed his father out the way of Mannoroth's dying explosion, saving Grom from the fate that felled him in the prime timeline. Pulling a stunned Gul'dan to his feet, Garrosh then drew a fel-bloodied Gorehowl from the demon's corpse and tossed it to his father, who proclaimed their victory and independence – as conquerors, never slaves - to the gathered masses. This pivotal moment was all that Garrosh's interference in the timeline had led to, and thus the Iron Horde came to be.

Garrosh gave Blackhand schematics for machinery and rose to prominence as one of the Warlords of the Iron Horde, and the leader of the Warsong clan while his father holds position of Warchief over all clans. He also enlisted Pauli Rocketspark and the Blackfuse Company to build necessary technology for the Iron Horde's infrastructure within Grimrail Depot. He issued to capture Gruul. He had also been present when Grommash "convinced" Ner'zhul and his Shadowmoon clan to join the Iron Horde. Khadgar and Chromie too saw his vision in Nagrand's mountains. When a citadel in the heart of Tanaan began constructing, he suggested the name Hellfire.

He was personally responsible for the Ironmarch's invasion of Azeroth. He ordered Zaela to claim Upper Blackrock Spire as the forward base of the invading force, where a doomsday weapon capable of making Blackrock Mountain erupt and subsequently destroy large swaths of the continent - including Stormwind - is to be built.

The draenei under Yrel blamed him for the fall of Telaar and they knew him as "the son of Hellscream". Garrosh was located in Grommashar when the Horde and Alliance attacked the settlement. He began fighting with the adventurers, Durotan and Yrel, only to be stopped by Thrall who issued a mak'gora.

The pair clash at the Stones of Prophecy—the site where Garrosh had first learned of his father's redemption. As the pair trade blows, Garrosh argues that everything he did was for the Horde; Thrall replies that Garrosh "*failed* the Horde." In a fury, Garrosh attacks Thrall with his bare hands, yelling that Thrall made him Warchief. "You left me to pick up your pieces! You failed ME!" Having the upper hand, Garrosh remarks that Thrall "never had the strength of a true warrior." Thrall counters that his strength is not as a warrior, but as a shaman, before calling upon the elements to lash out against Garrosh. Tightly bound by the elements, Garrosh roars that Thrall made him what he is; Thrall responds that Garrosh chose his own destiny. A single bolt of lightning ends Garrosh's life.

## Tactiques

 Le contenu de cette section a été supprimé de World of Warcraft.

The battle with Garrosh was arguably the most difficult of all the faction leaders, a major factor being his strategic position. At face value, the several entrances to Orgrimmar can seem appealing to a would-be raid, though Grommash Hold itself has been moved to the most populated area of Orgrimmar- leaving Garrosh flanked by a large amount of Horde players at almost all times. Garrosh's lack of elite guards is compensated by the Warchief's Herald that pulls with him, and the small amount of space allocated for the fight- leaving most of the raid susceptible to AOE and easy crowd control from Horde players, most deadly being chain fears on healers or tanks. It is also important to note that vanishing or stealthing into the room is almost impossible as the pair of Forsaken Delegation Deathguards in the Hold can see through stealth effects.

Garrosh has a number of powerful abilities in his arsenal. In addition to a melee cleave, he possesses a bladestorm-like ability which slows his movement speed by 50%, dealing roughly 15000 damage to everyone in the vicinity every second, for six seconds total. Garrosh also uses berserker charge, dealing roughly 17k damage and knocking back the target by 15 yards. He also makes use of a shockwave ability with an impressive range, dealing around 17k damage to all enemies to his front and stunning them for 5 seconds.

The fight with Garrosh is highly unpredictable due to the immediate outside interference. The near constant threat of a large Horde defense force can make or break the attempt, and a wipe can be incredibly difficult to recover from.

The best way to deal with Garrosh is to strike at a time where Orgrimmar's player traffic will be lowest, and downing him as fast as possible within Grommash hold. Pulling him outside is ill advised, as the Horde will become even more aware of their Warchief's predicament, and a massive wave of constant guard spawns in addition to this can prove disastrous. If the raid is successful, a quick escape is vital — like Lor'themar Theron, Garrosh is only on a 5-10 minute respawn timer.

Players must also be careful of Horde players kiting Gamon into the area now that he is a level 85 elite. Gamon will randomly charge players and use his battleshout to increase Garrosh's attack power.

Time is a factor with most city leaders, and Garrosh is perhaps the most notable example as to why.

### Habilités

* **Berserker Charge** — 40 yrd range. Charges at an enemy, knocking it back and inflicting 16187 to 18812 Physical damage.
* **Demoralizing Shout** — Reduces the melee attack power of nearby enemies by 20% for 15 sec.
* **Shockwave** — Sends a wave of force in front of the warrior, causing damage and stunning all enemy targets within 10 yards in a frontal cone for 4 sec.
* **Whirlwind** — Deals 14137 to 15862 damage per 1 sec to surrounding enemies. Movement speed slowed by 50%.

## Personnalité

Much like his father, Garrosh is a warrior-born. Though Garrosh was once highly ashamed of his heritage, a new fighting spirit was awakened within him following Thrall's revelations about who Grom truly was. His hot-headed nature came to the test during the war in Northrend, where Garrosh was quick to dismiss the more practical concerns during war in favour of a glorious battle, believing the fighting spirit of the Horde alone was enough to bring down the Scourge. He has employed ruthless but effective tactics on the battlefield, as noted by Saurfang. Unlike Thrall, who preferred to keep discreet tabs on his more dubious allies (such as those speculated to have ties with the Shadow Council), Garrosh has no qualms about speaking his mind — making no effort to hide his low opinion on the Forsaken.

Garrosh strongly believes in the value of honor, and in a fair fight. This had led him to show a distaste for the tactics of both the Forsaken and the Alliance, and threatened the life of Korm Blackscar after the events of the Broken Front. He personally executed Overlord Krom'gar for the murder of innocents, and seems to have gleamed a number of Saurfang's creeds. Though he seems to have subsequently lost them.

Garrosh is well-known for his fierce hatred of the Alliance. This appears to stem from his belief that the orcish people deserve a better quality of life than Durotar can offer, and views the Alliance as his primary obstacle in making this happen. To this end, he has expressed the desire for war with the Horde's rival faction multiple times, and was of the opinion that the Horde should simply take what it needs — both before and after his ascension to Warchief. His failures to easily attain whatever he wants for the Horde, the Alliance's tenacity in the war, and the doubt and disrespect the rest of the Horde show him, slowly push him towards insanity with his aggression extending to the Dragonflights and culminating in a plan of complete genocide of anything non-orc.

His disregard for a more diplomatic approach is applauded by many of the orcs, who view his uncompromising attitude in regards to securing his people a future to be inspiring. Garrosh himself is becoming aware of the tested bonds between he and his fellow leaders of the Horde, though he doesn't care, and indeed his solution to them is simply to make them enemies as well.

### Christie Golden sur Garrosh

In anticipation of the Tides of War novel's release, WoW Insider had the opportunity to interview the author behind the novel, Christie Golden:

**Garrosh's personality in game and out has done a lot of shifting back and forth. We see him get a lot darker in Tides. How did you go about developing his character?**

*"I think Garrosh has, at his core, a weak personality. He was very hostile about his father and ashamed of his father, and it took Thrall to say, "Hey, look, you know your dad did some pretty amazing things despite everything." He had to get that validation externally. He also had to prove himself in battle externally. And now he is surrounding himself with some very bad and dangerous advisors, externally.*

*Because I think that at the core, he doesn't really know. He wants to do well. He wants to preserve the orcs and their pride and their history. But I think he is actually a rather malleable person whose opinions can change. He doesn't have a strong core.*

*I think the main difference -- Jaina has a very strong core. And when adversity and disaster and personal torment rip her down to nothing but that core, that core is still intact. It's hurt, but it's intact. And Garrosh doesn't really have a strong core. So what he believes kind of changes depending on what the situation is and who's talking. And I think that does not a good strong leader make.*"

## Apparence

In his first appearance in the Burning Crusade, Garrosh used a generic mag'har model with scars across his cheeks, a calm expression and a topknot likely intended to reference his father's long hair. Grom's model was also depicted like this in the vision shown by Thrall due to model limitations. His trading card game model was an exact illustration of his in game model. In Garrosh's next appearance in the comic "Threat!", Garrosh was shown with a huge body and small head as all orcs were depicted in that issue. In Cataclysm, Garrosh's model was changed to a hulking yellow eyed orc with a smaller sized head(likely in reference to the comic), his jaw was tattooed, and his head was now fully shaved.

Ultimately Garrosh's appearance (bulky with a shaved head) had become practically the inverse of Grom's (lean with long hair).

### Armure de Garrosh

Mannoroth's skull has been moved to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar's Valley of Strength. There, the skull can be seen as part of Garrosh's throne. Part of the tusks were cut off and fashioned into Garrosh's new shoulder armor. The origin of the skull he wears is unknown.

### Scourge Invasion

My arms grow restless, anxiously waiting to drive my axes into the skull of the Lich King. Thrall would have us wait and let the Scourge continue to grow in strength. I will not have this!

If we are to end the threat of the Lich King, we must sail to Northrend and give him the full might of the Horde! Our forces are ready and willing to exact revenge for the deaths wrought by the plague and invasion.

The time to strike is now!

### Dialogue notable

#### Lettre à Magatha Totem-Sinistre

In *The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm*, during the Grimtotem uprising, Magatha sends a letter to Garrosh requesting his aid against Baine's forces. Having learned of the circumstances that led to him killing Cairne, Garrosh sends this reply:

*Unto Elder Crone Magatha of the Grimtotem,*
*Acting Warchief of the Horde, Garrosh Hellscream,*
*Sends his most sincere wishes for a slow and painful death.*
*It has come to my attention that you have deprived me of a rightful kill. Cairne Bloodhoof was a hero to the Horde and an honorable member of a usually honorable race. It is with disgust and anger that I discover you have caused me to bring about his death through accidental treachery.*
*Such tactics may work well for your renegade, honorless tribe and Alliance scum, but I despise them. It was my wish to fight Cairne fairly, and win or lose by my own skill or lack of it. Now I shall never know, and the cry of traitor will dog my steps until such time as I can sport your head on a pike and point to you as the real traitor.*
*So...no. I will not be sending any truehearted orcs to fight alongside your treacherous, belly-crawling tribe. Your victory or your defeat is in the hands of your Earth Mother now. Either way, I look forward to hearing of your demise.*
*You are on your own, Magatha, as friendless and disliked as you have ever been. Perhaps more. Enjoy your loneliness.*
#### Dialogue avec Saurcroc

This is the full transcript of the dialogue between Garrosh and Saurfang:

*Varok Saurfang turns around to speak with Garrosh.*

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** We are surrounded... Our enemies press in from all sides, young Hellscream.

*Saurfang walks to the central and Borean Tundra portions of the hide map of Northrend on the floor, kneeling to point them out, then walks off the map to stand before Garrosh.*

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** The Scourge descends like locust from the north.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** The Alliance holds the only secure shipping lane in this region, and even that is at risk of being lost to those dreaded mists.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** Our only viable port for resupply is held by the Forsaken on the other side of this blasted continent!

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** Anything our zeppelins cannot haul must be brought in by ship and travel the length of Northrend to reach us.

*Saurfang walks back to his usual spot.*

Garrosh Hellscream grunts.

*Garrosh walks up to the map and kneels.*

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** Shipping lanes... supplies... You bore me to death! We need nothing more than the warrior spirit of the Horde, Saurfang! Now that we are firmly entrenched in this frozen wasteland, nothing shall stop us!

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** Siege engines, ammunition, heavy armor... How do you propose to shatter the walls of Icecrown without those?

*Garrosh stands.*

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** Propose? I will show you what I propose!

*Garrosh crushes the figures and flag indicating Valiance Keep on the map.*

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** There... Now we now have a shipping lane.

*Garrosh crushes the figures and flags indicating Valgarde and Westguard Keep.*

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** And just for good measure...

*Garrosh walks back to his usual spot.*

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** So the prodigal son has spoken!

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** Your father's blood runs strong in you, Hellscream. Impatient as always... Impatient and reckless.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** You rush headlong into all-out war without a thought of the consequences.

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** Do not speak to me of consequences, old one.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** I drank of the same blood your father did, Garrosh. Mannoroth's cursed venom pumped through my veins as well.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** I drove my weapons into the bodies and minds of my enemies.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** And while Grom died a glorious death - freeing us all from the blood curse - he could not wipe away the terrible memory of our past.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** His act could not erase the horrors we committed.

High Overlord Saurfang pauses.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** The winter after the curse was lifted, hundreds of veteran orcs like me were lost to despair.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** Our minds were finally free, yes... Free to relive all of the unthinkable acts that we had performed under the Legion's influence.

High Overlord Saurfang nods.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** I think it was the sounds of the draenei children that unnerved most of them... You never forget...

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** Have you ever been to Jaggedswine Farm? When the swine are of age for the slaughter... It's that sound. The sound of the swine being killed... It resonates the loudest. Those are hard times for us older veterans.

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** But surely you cannot think that those children were born into innocence? They would have grown up and taken arms against us!

High Overlord Saurfang shakes his head.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** I am not speaking solely of the children of our enemies...

High Overlord Saurfang pauses.

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** I won't let you take us down that dark path again, young Hellscream. I'll kill you myself before that day comes...

*Saurfang turns away and looks at the map instead.*

**Garrosh Hellscream dit:** How have you managed to survive for so long, Saurfang? Not fallen victim to your own memories?

*Saurfang turns around for a moment to answer.*

**High Overlord Saurfang dit:** I don't eat pork...

High Overlord Saurfang spits.

### Résurrection du cœur d'Y'Shaarj

*The chest containing the Heart of Y'Shaarj is being transported out of the Big Blossom Excavation. The Kor'kron watch as Garrosh is inspecting its contents.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: Hmm... It thirsts. Bring it to the pools.

*The battle between Garrosh's armies and the defenders of the Vale rages as the drawbridge is lowered to the Pools of Power platform. Garrosh marches onward with the chest containing the Heart of Y'Shaarj, but is intercepted by Taran Zhu.*

**Taran Zhu**: ENOUGH! You have run rampant for far too long, Hellscream. But that stops now!

*Garrosh laughs.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: Step aside, pandaren. You confront a force beyond reckoning.

**Taran Zhu**: Your father dabbled in powers "beyond reckoning". Where is he... now?

*Angered, Garrosh charges at Taran Zhu, and a fierce fight between the two breaks out. Taran Zhu uses his weapon to grab Gorehowl and toss it to the other side of the bridge then looks back and gets punched across the jaw, knocking him through the chain acting as a guardrail and off the bridge. As he falls towards the pools, he keeps his eyes closed and focuses on keeping calm. His foot touches the water and ascends to deliver an uppercut back at Garrosh. He then lands on a bridge post as his blow throws Garrosh back to the chest.*

**Taran Zhu**: I have fought besides the tauren, trolls and others.

*Taran lepas high into the air.*

**Taran Zhu**: YOU are nothing like them!

*Garrosh dodges Taran Zhu's attack and grabs Gorehowl while the Shado-Pan's foot breaks through the planks and becomes stuck. Before he can pull it free, Garrosh snatches up the broken length of chain and using it as a whip, catches Taran Zhu around the neck, choking him.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: They are no longer part of MY HORDE!

*Garrosh yanks Taran Zhu to himself and impales him on Gorehowl. Taran Zhu gasps then groans in pain, coughing.*

**Taran Zhu**: The world... will hear of this... (Cough) They will... come for you...

**Garrosh Hellscream**: Yes... I'm *counting* on it.

*Visions of the armies laying siege to Orgrimmar flash before Garrosh's eyes, as well as his decisive victory over the invaders, impaled carcasses decorating Orgrimmar's gates.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: The armies of the world WILL come for me, and within my fortress they will face all the terrible creatures I have wrought.

**Garrosh Hellscream**: The boundless power I have mastered. And one by one, they will fall at my feet.

**Garrosh Hellscream**: *Anyone* who would rise against my new Horde will be IMPALED upon the spires of Orgrimmar!

*Taran Zhu is dropped to the ground in front of the 'well' by Garrosh. Weakened from his wound, he glances over at him.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: You pandaren try to bury your hate and your anger. But such power cannot be contained. It. Must be. UNLEASHED!

*Garrosh breaks the chains sealing the chest containing the Old God's Heart, which beats malevolently. Taran Zhu sees a butterfly pass near it, becoming corrupted and dying.*

**Taran Zhu**: A time will come when you will answer for your crimes.

**Garrosh Hellscream**: I answer... to NO ONE!

*Garrosh pushes the chest over, dumping the Heart into the Pools of Power followed by the empty container. The Heart of Y'Shaarj corrupts the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, unleashing the Sha energies and the final Sha prime, which represents Pride.*

*Garrosh walks back across the bridge as massive eruptions of Sha energy blast in to the sky.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: All who challenge me will *burn* in the fires of my hatred.

* Garrosh Hellscream gazing at his newfound possession.
* Taran Zhu uppercuts Garrosh.
* Garrosh glaring at a defeated Taran Zhu.
* Garrosh plants the Heart of Y'shaarj into the pool and corrupts the Vale.

Times change. (*To Gul'dan, in response to the warlock's statement about the fate of the orcish race taking a different path than he envisioned, thanks to Garrosh's influence which changed the past.*)
#### Bataille finale aux Pierres de la Prophétie

*Garrosh and Thrall approach the site of the mak'gora, the Stones of Prophecy — future site of Garadar, as well as the same place they first met.*

**Thrall**: You must answer for your crimes, Garrosh.

*Garrosh and Thrall glare at each other, before Garrosh roars angrily at Thrall as he charges at him. The two exchange blows and argue during their fight.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: All I did, I did... FOR THE HORDE!

**Thrall**: You've failed the Horde!

*Garrosh throws Gorehowl at Thrall, which he deflects, then leaps on him, landing a punch, and grabbing him by his prayer beads.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: You made me warchief...

*Garrosh lands a punch on Thrall, breaking his prayer beads and knocking away the Doomhammer.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: ...you left me to pick up your pieces...

*Garrosh continues to beat Thrall, while his voice trembles as he speaks, then grabs him and throws him down.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: ...YOU FAILED... ME!

*Thrall partially gets up and glares at Garrosh angrily.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: You never had the strength of a true warrior.

**Thrall**: I do not rely on strength alone, Garrosh. My power is all around you.

*Thrall gets up and hits Garrosh with a fireball, launching him into the air, manipulates the air to bring Garrosh down, and finally incapacitates him with a fist made of earth.*

**Garrosh Hellscream**: THRALL!

**Garrosh Hellscream**: YOU made me what I am!

**Thrall**: No... You chose your own destiny.

*Thrall casts down a single bolt of lightning that electrocutes Garrosh, ending his life. Thrall then stares off into the distance, picks up the Doomhammer and walks away.*

### Cinématique de Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

* Though Thrall calls Garrosh "boy" in the pre-WotLK event, looking at the timeline and reading *Beyond the Dark Portal* suggests Garrosh is actually older. The developers have not stated the year of Garrosh's birth, but it is confirmed that he is older than Thrall.
* Garrosh's appearance (bulky with a shaved head) is practically the inverse of Grom's (lean with long hair).
* He retains his old model in Warsong Hold and Garadar and only uses his new voice in Warsong Hold. He uses a regular orc voice in Garadar.

* Garrosh is recognized by his tattoo, which is as long as his torso.
* Garrosh's mount is a female worg named Malak.
* Assistant Fexfuse said that Garrosh personally promised him Stormwind.

* Garrosh means "Warrior's Heart" in orcish.
* Garrosh doesn't have a counterpart on the alternate Draenor as he was never born in that universe.
* Garrosh's eye color is golden-brown.

* Many fans pair Garrosh up with Zaela.
* Chris Metzen said that Garrosh wouldn't have his own book because it would only contain: "KILL KILL KILL".
* Garrosh is voiced by Patrick Seitz.

	+ In the *Knights of the Frozen Throne* expansion, the nine heroes of Warcraft have been raised as powerful death knights of the Lich King, with Garrosh being resurrected as Scourgelord Garrosh. Upon being played, he equips Shadowmourne and replaces the player's Hero Power with Bladestorm. Scourgelord Garrosh's flavor text reads: *"You dare to challenge me? Come! Draw your last breath - and then, you are mine."*
* Garrosh is a playable character in *Heroes of the Storm*.
* Garrosh makes a cameo appearance in *Overwatch* as a fighter in the *Fighters of the Storm* arcade game.
* According to Christie Golden, there is a strong chance that Garrosh would have accepted his fate and tried for some redemption after Anduin Wrynn saved his life in *War Crimes*, were it not for Kairoz approaching him with his scheme hours later.
* Garrosh played a role in every *World of Warcraft* expansion until *Legion*.
* Garrosh wielded two axes until Thrall gave him his father's Gorehowl.
* He sent Hargash to watch over the Forsaken Sashya, not trusting the Royal Apothecary Society after what happened at the Wrathgate.

## Lignes temporelles alternatives

On the alternate Draenor, Garrosh was never born. This was likely one of the decidicing factors which caused Kairozdormu to choose that particular timeline for his purposes.

In another alternate timeline, Warchief Garrosh, having killed Cairne, was killed by Baine. The young Bloodhoof tore Hellscream apart with his bare hands and succeeded him as the next Warchief of the Horde.
