Male Vanir Titan. Bronze-skinned wrapped in a golden toga. A former lieutenant of Sargeras but is now charged as member of the Pantheon, taking the position left vacant by Sargeras after his departure. Aggramar’s task is to combat the Burning Legion and its demonic taint. Although he is mostly emotionless, he feels a strong rage and hate toward Sargeras for betraying the Pantheon.
Aggramar’s weapon is the half-broken sword Taeshalach. When Sargeras was a member of the Pantheon, long before he created the Burning Legion, his semi-sentient sword was known as Gorshalach (Dark Render) — the most powerful weapon in the universe. But when Sargeras fell to the corruption of the Nathrezim in the Twisting Nether, Gorshalach sundered itself and split into two halves, rather than serving Sargeras in his pursuit of evil. Aggramar the Avenger now holds the half named Taeshalach (Flame Rend), while Sargeras holds the half named Gorribal (Dark Seether). Aggrammar knows that if one day he united both halves, Gorshalach would be reborn. To achieve this goal, he continues his fight to defeat Sargeras.
In the Warcraft “War of the Ancients” trilogy Sargeras was holding a half-broken sword which he used to kill Broxigar.
Aggramar’s main role in the Pantheon is to be their Champion — to eliminate the forces of destruction and dissolution in the universe — specially the Burning Legion and other enemies, and protecting order created by the Titans from chaos by using his combat might. Azeroth doesn’t know about Aggramar, but other worlds seeded by the Titans revere him and cry his name when engaging in combat against the Burning Legion.

Introduced in the Burning Crusade expansion pack. Treading the chaotic spaces between worlds, the ethereals are astral travelers who dwell within the Twisting Nether. They are known to be collectors and traders of arcane items and artifacts. Now drawn to Outland, many ethereals are seeking to track down its treasures and steal them back into the Twisting Nether. They are liars and scoundrels who will stop at nothing to pursue their mysterious aims. The ethereals have no care at all for the Burning Crusade. They would even play both sides of the conflict against each other if doing so would serve to further their own goals.

Near the end of the Second War, the black dragon Deathwing travelled through the Dark Portal to Draenor. Believing the world to be a relatively safe haven for his offspring, he secreted away a cache of black dragon eggs. Following the war, Ner’zhul recklessly opened multiple portals on Draenor, and the magical stress tore the planet apart. The energies released in this catastrophe altered Deathwing’s eggs, resulting in the Nether Drakes partially corporeal and partially ethereal dragons who possess the ability to shift between the astral and physical planes. Without Deathwing’s guidance, these otherworldly nether drakes are just now finding their own way among the blasted ruins of Outland. They are black, somewhat translucent, and have a glowing aura around them.

A humanoid dragon-like creature, similar to a Dragonspawn only they have 2 legs instead of 4, so they are more like dragon-humans than dragon-centaurs. They are meant to be the footmen and standard soldiers of the Legion of Blackrock, and though they have considerable magic resistances, a flaw does exist: each Drakonid also has a fatal weakness to one magic type, making it suffer enormous damage from that particular school.
Bronze Drakonids can be found patrolling the Caverns of Time. Nether Drakonids can also be found in Shadowmoon Valley, in the service of Illidan Stormrage, while the Infinite Dragonflight also employs drakonids of their own flight. This suggests that Drakonids might not exclusively be the results of Nefarian’s experiments and have origins and purposes more similar to those of the Dragonspawn.
