Nekros Skullcrusher was one of the few Orcish warlocks who were not part of the Shadow Council. Nekros Skullcrusher never cared for his dark, magical calling. He considered himself more a warrior than a wizard, but his duty to his clan, and himself, demanded that he saddle his burden, especially when a human knight deprived him of half a leg. Nekros, being of the Dragonmaw Clan, was commissioned by his chieftain, Zuluhed, to bear the dark artifact known as the Demon Soul, which he would use to capture and contain Alexstrasza, the mighty Dragonqueen. They did just that, and Nekros became her warden in Grim Batol, using the Demon Soul to inflict unimaginable pain on her whenever she did not cooperate. When she chose to starve herself, he shattered an egg before her. Nekros continually abused her, both mentally and physically, especially after the Second War, when she became the only real weapon the Horde had against the Alliance. Her mates, however, were dying, and Nekros would soon have no further means of producing her children. Nekros was tricked by Deathwing into moving Alexstrasza into the open, where she was freed by her lover Korialstrasz, and the first thing she did was dispose of Nekros, burning him to cinders. His son Nek’rosh survived the massacre.

The son of Deathwing the Destroyer (Once known as Neltharion) and brother of Onyxia. Nefarian is a massive Black Dragon of incredible power. This maleficent leviathan dwells within Blackrock Spire near the summit of the mountain. Upon his arrival at the Spire, he entered into an alliance with Rend Blackhand, delusional “leader” of the remaining orcs on Azeroth. Nefarian is locked in combat with the Dark Iron Dwarves and their fiery master, Ragnaros, for control of the mountain fortress. To facilitate his victory, Nefarian conducts vile experiments within the Spire, combining the essences of the five flights to create his Chromatic Dragonflight, a horrid nightmare of magic and genetics. His personal abode of Blackwing Lair sits atop Blackrock Mountain in the desolated Burning Steppes.

Nefarian assumes the guise of Lord Victor Nefarius, a human dignitary, to meddle in the affairs of humans, as most Black Dragons enjoy doing.

Naisha was a Night Elf Huntress who was Maiev Shadowsong’s lieutenant and second in command of the Watchers. She followed Maiev as they tracked down the Betrayer, Illidan Stormrage, and came across the Naga plundering villages in Azshara. They followed the Naga to the Port of Nendis and pursued them as they sailed east, eventually disembarking on the ruins of Suramar, an ancient Elven city that was buried under the waves when the Well of Eternity collapsed. The Watchers continued their chase and tracked Illidan down all the way to the Tomb of Sargeras, where Illidan was attempting to harness the powers of the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the Lich King. However, upon clashing with the Watchers, Illidan used the Eye’s power to collapse the entire tomb, aiding his escape and attempting to kill the elves. Maiev, with her blink ability, was the only survivor of the cave-in. Naisha, together with the rest of the expedition into the tomb, was buried alive.
