Zuluhed the Whacked was a powerful orc shaman, leader of the Dragonmaw clan. They fought in Azeroth during the First and Second Wars. The Dragonmaw was one of the strongest supporters of Blackhand, and after his death, they pledged themselves into the service of the Black Tooth Grin Clan. Its leaders, Rend and Maim, handed Zuluhed the Demon Soul, and ordered him to use it to capture the dragonqueen Alexstrasza. But his shamanistic magics weren’t powerful enough to tap into the artifact, and so Zuluhed used the warlock skills of his warrior Nekros Skullcrusher in order to tame and capture the dragonqueen. This provided a valuable aid to the orcs, as her dragons were used to wreak havoc among the humans. Zuluhed trusted Nekros with the Demon Soul, and commanded the orc operations in the captured Khaz Modan during the Second War. After the Horde was defeated, the Dragonmaw was one of the few clans still standing. While Zuluhed was fighting the human attacks near Dun Algaz, a strike force led by Rhonin attacked Grim Batol and freed the dragonqueen. After the loss of their greatest asset, the clan began to lose ground, and was eventually defeated and captured by the Alliance. Zuluhed currently resides in Outland and serves Illidan.

Ysera the Dreamer is one of the five Dragon Aspects that watch over the world of Azeroth. The green dragon is the younger sister to Alexstrasza and empowered by the titan Eonar to be bound to the Emerald Dream in an eternal trance to forever watch over the wilds and the druids in the Emerald Dream. In any form, Ysera is almost always seen with her eyes closed as she is both in the mortal world and the Emerald Dream. It was believed that there is a connection between Ysera and Elune, as it has been said separately that both are the mother of Cenarius. However, it has been released that Ysera and Elune are not the same. While Elune did birth Cenarius, she saw that he was not of her realm and gave him to Ysera, who raised him. Ysera became furious when Archimonde killed Malorne and severely wounded Cenarius.

Ysera rules the Emerald Dream from the “Eye of Ysera,” a golden dome which has no fixed point within the realm appearing wherever Ysera wishes it to. To enter the Emerald Dream unbidden or destroy life there is to earn Ysera’s and her brood’s unending wrath.

Not much is currently known about Xi’ri – he is a Naaru and member of the Sha’tar who went to Shadowmoon Valley and fought a successful action against Illidan and gained a foothold in the area. Members of the Aldor and Scryers are sent on a regular basis by A’dal to assist him.

Lord Xavius was a former Night Elf who ascended through the Quel’dorei to be the Counselor to Queen Azshara. Intrigued by the art of magic, he worked his way through the Highborne with such dedication that he gave up his own eyes for magical orbs allowing him to understand his art better. He led the creation of the portal that would allow Sargeras to venture into Kalimdor. He captured Malfurion Stormrage’s spirit form, who later escaped and killed Xavius. His spirit was captured by Sargeras, who tortured him and then resurrected him as the first Satyr, and sent him into the world to fill the ranks of the Legion. Later in the War of the Ancients, Malfurion, in a desperate bid to save Tyrande from the clutches of the Legion, kills Xavius for the second (and more permanent) time by turning him into a tree.
