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.

Varimathras is likely second in command of The Forsaken. He is a Dreadlord, a race of demons from The Twisting Nether used as commanders for the invasions of the Burning Legion. With the fall of the Legion at the Battle of Mt. Hyjal, he and several of his brothers were abandoned in the Plaguelands at the Ruins of Lordaeron. They had no news of the defeat of the Legion, and continued to rule over the undead stationed there while waiting for further instructions from Archimonde the Defiler. Their fortifications were assaulted during the Undead Civil War by the forces of the Forsaken and their leader Sylvanas Windrunner, and Varimathras was captured by the Dark Lady. Out of cowardice, he swore fealty to her in order to preserve his own life and assisted her in the destruction of the Dreadlords Balnazzar and Detheroc. He personally attacked and was forced to have killed his brother Balnazzar, leader of the Plaguelands’ Legion forces. Since then he has assisted Sylvanas in her rise to power as ruler of the Forsaken, and aids with her from the Undercity. He runs the day to day affairs of the undead faction, monitoring the progress of the Forsaken’s war against the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade. His position is highly special as he is the only former member of the Burning legion who openly became one of the rulers of the Azeroth faction (Horde). Although he is a powerful leader of the Forsaken, he does not give honor when killed.
