Garona Halforcen was (as her name implies) a half-orc who served Gul’dan as an assassin for the Shadow Council. She first appears in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans during an orc campaign mission when the player has to rescue her from capture. She is further discussed in the book The Last Guardian, where it’s revealed that she acted as a diplomat between the early Horde invaders and the humans through Medivh. Serving Medivh, she meets a young Khadgar, still apprenticed under Medivh at the time, who distrusts her because of her Orc heritage. Over time, the two begrudgingly accept one another and even begin to form trust, trying to discover the truth behind the odd happenings in Karazhan, Medivh’s tower. When Medivh loses himself to the power of Sargeras, Garona has a premonition that she will be the one to kill King Llane, and removes herself from further aiding Khadgar. She carries out her destiny, and carves out King Llane’s heart, under the orders of the Shadow Council. After the First Great War, when Blackhand is usurped by Orgrim Doomhammer, the new Warchief tortures Garona into revealing the location of the Shadow Council, which is quickly dispatched, now seating Doomhammer as true ruler of the Horde. Garona disappears and is presumed dead.

However, in the beta of World of Warcraft, she could be found as an NPC in Ravenholdt Manor with the title “Grand Master of the Assassin’s Guild”, suggesting that she may have survived. She was quickly removed, but she may appear again in a later patch.

The tome Garona: A Study on Stealth and Treachery is still considered essential reading for up-and-coming rogues, but the last known copy has ironically been stolen from the Athenaeum, the great library of the Shen’dralar elves. Any knowledge of its whereabouts should be reported to Lorekeeper Kildrath in the elven halls below Dire Maul.

Grand Marshal Garithos was a human Knight and the commander of the surviving humans in Lordaeron. He was an extremely bigoted man, often using dwarves and blood elves as cannon fodder, even if they were generally more competent than the humans. Garithos and his men were enslaved by the Dreadlord Detheroc, until the Dreadlord was destroyed by Sylvanas Windrunner and her Forsaken. Striking a deal with Sylvanas – defeating the last Dreadlord, Balnazzar, in exchange for returning Lordaeron to his people – Garithos led his troops into battle and defeated Balnazzar. After beginning to make demands of his “allies” to leave the city, Sylvanas ordered her own Dreadlord majordomo, Varimathras, to kill him – which Varimathras did gladly.
