Line 41:
Thirteen (and a half!) year old prince of Stormwind. Lately his relationship with Varian has been strained: although he loves and respects his father, he prefers a more peaceful approach to foreign relations, and does not agree with the king's more aggressive tactics. He is close with Jaina, however, and views her as a family member. He has recently started down the path to the Light.
