The current king of Stormwind, the only surviving ruler of the human kingdom established by the early Alahis. He was an ignorant child when he ascended the throne, and he witnessed his father's assassination by a woman he trusted. Soon after, he watched his kingdom raze to the ground and had to flee under the protection of Anduin Lothar, and after that, he endured hardships to become perhaps the greatest warrior in human history. He is Varian, the outstanding heir of King Varian of the House of Ureon (1 photo). He spent his childhood at the court of another country, growing up with the children of King Terenus Minechel of Lordaeron (and Alsace had a sister) until the orc tribe was defeated by the Human Alliance and Stormwind was rebuilt. During this time, he lost Lothar, the legendary hero he regarded as his father-in-law. His closest friends turned into bastards who did harm to the world when they grew up. His wife was killed in a riot triggered by the rebuilding project, which was behind those he considered close associates. He was tricked, then subjected to magic, torn apart into two completely separate people, and finally forcibly joined together. Since the death of his father, King Ryan Ureon, he has not spent a moment in peace—and it seems unlikely that he will ever be given such a chance. He, the King of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn's life is destined to be filled with numerous serious challenges.

The Exiled MonarchWhen we look up to King Varian, the most special thing about his unique life is the hardships he endured in his youth. Before his father's death, he lived as a well-fed prince, and was rescued from the fire-ravaged ruins by Lothar shortly after witnessing Garona's assassination of his father and gouging out his heart, which taught him a vivid lesson about war and kingship. During the invasion of his kingdom and the destruction of everything he had loved, Varian grew into a resolute man with all the qualities he needed to maintain supreme kingship. These invaders not only poisoned his homeland, his kingdom, killed his father, but also took the life of his stepfather, Lothar. Lothar is a great man, the last descendant of the family of Arachisoradin and the hero of the recapture of Stormwind from the orcs, he is the greatest hero in human history.

However, when Lordaeron's leadership council was held after the war, Varian tried to convince himself not to vote for a simple slaughter. Several kings who had far fewer losses than he had done so, such as Solas Thorbain and Jean Greymane, were eager to solve the orc problem in such a simple and crude way that did not conform to the teachings of the Light, saying that it would be twice the result with half the effort and once and for all—that humanity would never again be threatened by orcs. Varian, however, stood firmly on the side of Terenus until the others turned their backs on the alliance.

It can be said that Varian's loyalty and admiration for Tyrenus far outweighed his desire for revenge on the orcs. Despite the sight of the orcs killing his father, despite his deep resentment at the orcs for taking Lothar's life, and despite his unforgettable atrocities at the orc's burning of Stormwind, he still restrained his anger and supported Terenus. Especially for a young man who has just come of age? Behind the complex friendship between him and Arthas Minahir is their open hearts to each other, and they can see each other's ideas and worldviews. Arthas had decided that he would be a very likely friend before Varian arrived (not because they were both princes), but the first meeting between the two was very embarrassing for Arthas, and the young monarch of Stormwind seemed to see through him at a glance.

But then, as they spent more time together and grew up in each other, the two did become friends, however, for Arthas, there was competition beyond their friendship. Arthas envied Varian's martial arts at a young age. And Varian understands his emotions. "My father tried to protect me, but it didn't work." When Arthas unconsciously saw Varian as a competitor or a role model to follow, Varian knew at a glance that his young man would never follow his path.

Because of the untimely death of Varian's father, when Arthas killed his father, his sins were infinitely magnified in Wari's peace of mind - he abandoned the love that Varian had hoped to regain all his life. And Arthas killed no one else, it was none other than the kingdom of Terenus, whom Varian regarded as the father of regeneration. It was Terenus who rallied the rest of the Alliance to unite to help Stormwind drive out the invaders and reclaim the territory, and it was Terenus who gave great support and assistance in the reconstruction of Stormwind and watched as Varian ascended to the throne like a loving father. Moreover, Lordaeron is his second home to Varian, and Terenus raised him, giving him the shelter and warmth of his childhood, and teaching him how to become a great king.

Today's King Varian is not just influenced by these unfortunate experiences, but shaped by them. He wasn't really a man who wanted to be king, he wasn't greedy for power, and perhaps being a fighter or commander of the Ancient Arathas would make him happier and more liberating. Ironically, when his life experiences have made him a hateful man for the Horde, from our perspective, his way of thinking and acting more and more conform to the standards of a great tribal chieftain rather than a king of the Alliance! For Varian, the loss of his father had been buried deep in his heart since he was young, and it meant that Arthas had not only abandoned the fatherly love that Varian had always longed for, but also touched the wound in Varian's heart once again. Such a blow is unthinkable. He committed this unpardonable sin and led the demons and the Scourge to destroy the most powerful kingdom ever built by the humans of Ancient Arathor in a very short time, and a few weeks later, Dalaran fell in disbelief.

At this point, a large number of refugees flocked to the south, and Varian took them in, just as Terenus had treated his people after the fall of Stormwind. But he was powerless to rebuild the kingdom that had been destroyed at the hands of the prince who was supposed to save it. With the death of Daylin Prodmore in Theramore during World War III, Varian found himself the de facto leader of all humanity. The ruler of Alterac lost his throne in World War II, and the country was left leaderless and then torn apart. The Torbain family's hereditary fiefdom of Fort Riptide was also destroyed in the liberation campaign led by Thrall the Orc, and even more ironically, one of them was taken over by the Syndicate founded by the Pirenor family, who were once the rulers of Alterac. Gilneth had used high walls to isolate himself from the outside world more than a decade earlier; Lordaeron no longer exists, and Dalaran is left with nothing but ruins. The Celemore on the east coast of Kalimdor was under the leadership of Gianna Proudmore, and if the Thrall's tribe came to attack, they would not be able to protect themselves.

In the end, Varian was the only royal family spared. When Gianna Proudmore approached Varian to sign a peace agreement with the Horde, Varian agreed to sign it. It seems that this is entirely due to the successful counsel of his adolescent son, Anduin. When in reality, Varian himself is in charge of everything - obviously, as a king, he must think about his people, no matter what has happened in the past, no matter what he has lost. But it was a great pity that he still knew the role of Duchess Presto in the murder of her wife and the founding of Defia. And after he agreed to the peace talks, he naturally became a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh for fear that the world would not be "chaotic". Soon after, Varian disappeared.

Almost no one knows the reason or process of his unaccounted for, and all indications suggest that the Brotherhood of Defia is responsible for the unsolved case. Dances with WolvesWhen an amnesiac collapses on Durotal Beach and is captured by a shaman named Rhaegar Earth's Wrath, no one can imagine that the missing king of Stormwind is in front of him. Although humans do have warriors who can kill crocodiles with their bare hands. However, he was able to defeat the Juggernaut of the Shaman's gladiator team in a one-on-one gladiatorial fight, and took both of his swords. That's right, thanks to his leadership and fighting skills, the Orc Shaman allowed his team of gladiators (among whom was the Druid Brol Bearskin and the thief Varela Sangunar, and his good companions) to win the Arena of Doom's Hammer. Varian has since gained worldwide fame as Lagash, the Ghost Wolf, but despite this, he still can't remember who he is. He escaped from Thunder Bluff with Browl, and thanks to the cover of Hamuel Rune Totem (and perhaps with Rhaegar's tacit approval), the human known as Lagash gradually learned his identity.

Upon arriving in Theramore, Gianna Proudmore quickly believed him and revealed him that he had never imagined a past in which he was actually the king of Stormwind, who suddenly disappeared on his way to Theramore to sign a peace agreement, and his whereabouts are unknown. Dark magic stole his memories, and on their way back to the Eastern Kingdoms, they were attacked by the Naga and helped him recover his lost memories to some extent. I am king, and when he was in the horn of the gladiator Lagash, he understood that his mission was to return to his kingdom. After encountering the dwarven Salgeth Anvimar and the local Defia thug in Minahir Harbor, he was quick to stop the remnants of the Black Iron Dwarves from attempting to destroy the Sadol Bridge.

Unfortunately, Varian's right-hand man, Sarges's brother Hajima, died honorably during the offensive operation. This led His Majesty King Magni Copperbeard to personally welcome Varian to Ironforge, where he learned that a crook was impersonating him in Stormwind to steal his throne. An invasion of the Black Iron Dwarven Fortress reveals a revelation of the truth: Varian's friend, Marshal Reginald Windsor, is imprisoned in the Blackstone Abyss, and he knows something uncovered. Varian and his companions rescue Windsor, only to rush to countless enemies (believe me, it was the former Windsor) and discover the truth. In fact, it was the Black Dragon Princess Onexia who lurked in Stormwind, and it was she who instigated and instigated the nobles to oppress the Masonry Brotherhood, which led to the establishment of Defiya. Tiffin Wrynn's death was also completely behind her scenes, and Varian's disappearance was also directed by her. True or False Varian Ragash has only experienced half of the story during Varian's disappearance. After sneaking back to Stormwind (where Marshall Windsor convinces General Marcus Jonathan to ignore Duchess Presto's orders to let her into the city), the two Varians finally meet in a narrow way, and a big fight ensues. They found that not only were they inseparable in martial arts, but that the safety of Anduin Ureon was paramount, and together they fended off Onexia's minions to protect their son.

At the same time, however, the situation is becoming more and more chaotic - the two Varians, the Black Dragons, Varian's companions, and the guards of Stormwind...... The end result was the death of Marshall Windsor at the clutches of Onexia, and the kidnapping of Prince Anduin. Although the two Varians bear no resemblance, they both try to save Anduin at all costs. Duke Berval Vortagen, Anduin's first assistant at the time of the king's disappearance, eventually discovers the secret: the two Varians each possess half of the "sexual" personality traits of the king before his disappearance. Ragash is impatient, direct, and aggressive, and ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, while Varian, who returned a few weeks ago, is urbane, steady, and even somewhat lazy and passive. However, the two work together to devise a plan to go to Theramore, and their final destination is Onexia's lair.

As soon as they arrived in Theramore, Gianna and Egwene, the former Guardians and now Gianna's close retainers, published that none of the two Varians were true—and yet both Varians were true. The reality is that Onexia had split King Varian's will in two, and then she tried to kill the grumpy, combative and rebellious Varian, who would get in the way of her plans. However, her soul-splitting ritual is interrupted by Naga's attack, and two Varians take advantage of the chaos to escape, one fleeing to the midst of those who want to save him and being taken back to Stormwind; The other escaped from Okaz Island and ended up in Durontal, where he woke up and forgot his identity.

…… Thus, neither Varian is pretending to be, but neither can claim to be the true Stormwind King above the other. However, the most resolute and urgent attitude of the two of them at the moment was to rescue Anduin, and the two quickly set off to reach Onexia's lair and face the evil female dragon head-on. After a fierce battle, one of the Varians rescues Anduin, while Onexia tries to complete the last unfinished ritual - killing Ragash. However, the mild-mannered Varian appeared in front of Lagash at this moment to block the dam-dragon's fatal squirt, and he saved his "brother" - and miraculously, his block caused Onexia's spell to have the opposite effect, and the two Varians merged into one. The reunited Varian then dealt a fatal blow to Onexia, ending her covert rule over his kingdom.

After the dragon slay, Varian returned to the throne and became an active king. He pushed for another round of peace talks (this time sabotaged by Kogar's Twilight Hammer, using Garona as a pawn), which ended in failure. However, Varian and Thrall did not give up hope for peace, and they worked together to find common interests and use this as an entry point to bring about peace. Varian even negotiated a peace agreement between Thrall and the Night Elves in exchange for resources (exchanging large amounts of wood from the Elwyn Forest for Durotar's rich minerals, while also preventing further indiscriminate clogging of the Ashen Valley Forest by the Orcs), but in the end, at Garona's instigation, the two sides once again became suspicious of each other, and the warlike "sex" of Garrosh, the successor of the Warsong Clan's chieftain, broke down.

It should be said that Twilight's hammer is very clever, they have taken advantage of the racial diversity of their members, and let members of the Alliance race disguise themselves as Alliance forces to invade the Coalition territory, and let the members of the tribal race disguise themselves as tribal forces to invade the Alliance territory, coupled with Varian's hatred of Garona, they have succeeded in bringing the Alliance and the Tribe, which have finally reached a peace consensus, back into suspicion and tension. At the same time, Varian's old friend Arthas is not willing to let Twilight's hammer steal the limelight. In the midst of this deteriorating situation, Thrall and Varian each returned to their capitals and began to keep an eye on the Scourge Corps' new movements.

Soon, reports of the Lich King's plague flying like snowflakes in front of Thrall and Varian. The Lich King's undead army began to go into full swing, and his evil voice suddenly appeared over Orgrimmar and Stormwind, and the two camps made strategic plans for an expedition to Northrend almost simultaneously. There was no longer a reason for Varian to avoid a showdown with Arthas, and it wasn't long before the League began preparing for battle. The Alliance and the Horde seem to have a real common interest and goal at this time. Varian sent his friend and retainer, Duke Berval Vortagen, to land in Northrend with the Coalition and march all the way to the Dragonbone Wilderness.

It should be said that this was the best moment for the Alliance to make peace with the Horde and face the common enemy side by side. However, the death knell suddenly sounded soon after the cooperation between the two parties. The Horde lost Dranos Sarufar, and the Coalition lost Bervar Vortagen, and both were nearly wiped out. To make matters worse, for Varian, he lost a close friend, and his son lost a mentor, just as Varian lost Anduin Lothar. Varian immediately sets out to chase the mad great apothecary Putras to the crypts of the Undercity, where he finally sees what the Forsaken have done to his childhood homeland. Caged test subjects (prisoners of war of various races), beatings and tortures, their dealings with demons.

After entering the Undercity, Varian fought his way through demons and undead spirits, pursuing Putras. Everything in front of him was a nightmare for everyone who had lived through the Second War, and he was completely enraged. Behind Putras, he heard Thrall's voice, and he hurried over, eager to defeat the orc who had made this happen for so many years! Gianna uses a spell to stop Varian from fighting Thrall. This may be a mistake. The Wrath Gate event put an end to all possibility of peace between the Alliance and the Horde, and after the Horde attacked the Alliance forces that were resisting the Scourge, the Coalition was also attacked in retaliation, and Varian refused to join forces with the Horde to prevent Yugsaron from escaping from Ulduar.

The Apothecary Guild of Tribes threw the undead plague they created to destroy humanity into the ranks of the Alliance army. They also experimented with plagues in the Undercity with surrendered Alliance soldiers, and the Horde's army attacked Alliance soldiers who were fighting the scourge. All of this contributed to Varian's anger and suspicion of the tribe. Although Varian will continue to fight against Arthas, he will never again extend his hand to the Horde to conclude a peace treaty. The only way he could do it was to allow Warok Sarufar to retrieve his son's body, and that was only because of his respect and admiration for Sarufar, who was also a warrior, and his devotion to him as a father.

In the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, our King was enraged when the expedition Duke Northrendberger Vertagen was killed by a virus thrown by the royal alchemists of the Undercity controlled by the renegade Dreadlord Valemass before the Gate of Damnation, and he and his Triangle 3 Arena duo led the Alliance forces through the sewers into the Undercity.

Since the return of the king, the king has always played the role of the eagle of the alliance side, the more moderate Duke of Boval at the beginning of the return was sent to the north, the almost fierce fight with the tribe in the Undercity, the conflict between Odar and Little Roar on the eve of Odar, and the brawl in front of the Grand Crusader Arena seem to be the best interpretation of this hawkish leader. However, at a critical moment in the war with the Lich King, the scene where Sarufar collects the corpse of his child makes the Wahei stunned.
