Line 136:
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|''"And now, Shaman, you will give the Dragon Soul to ME"''}}.
* [[White Magic]]
== Aysa Cloudsinger ==
Leader of the Alliance-aligned Pandaren. Aysa embodies the Tushui monk arts, which emphasizes meditation, stoicism, rigorous training and moral convictions. These ideals draw her to the Alliance, whose values are much the same.
-----
* [[Blue Oni Red Oni]]: The blue to Ji's red.
Line 161 ⟶ 169:
* [[Supporting Leader]]: For the Alliance during the war against the Lich King in Northrend, until the Wrathgate incident.
* [[White Magic]]
== Brann Bronzebeard ==
[[File:BrannBronzebeard_6875.jpg|frame]]
The youngest of the Bronzebeard brothers, he lives a life of adventure, exploring the world and chronicling his journeys. Although mentioned in various parts of Warcraft lore, he did not make his first appearance until Wrath of the Lich King.
Brann is renowned as the greatest adventurer in the Warcraft universe. Many of the expanded unvierse reference materials, such as the RPG books and the original previews of the zones prior to the game's launch, were done from his perspective. Expect him to show up in places involving ancient ruins, Titan artifacts, and [[Eldrich Abominations|Old Gods]].
-----
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: He has disappeared many times and seemingly lost in seemingly dangerous locations(such as Silithid hives and Yogg Saron's lair) only to be found alive and well days later with new discoveries. He said he never considered himself lost.
* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: His entire interaction with the Titan technology in the Halls of Stone dungeon.
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: He is the brother of the former king so he qualifies.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Even though he's (presumably) never worked with Titan technology before, he is able to help adventurers on two fights using said technology in the Halls of Stone dungeon.
Line 367 ⟶ 391:
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Some believe the entire premise behind ''Fire and Iron'' is one big reference to the infamous Red Shirt Guy from Blizzcon 2010. Said Guy corrected a mistake in the ''Cataclysm'' beta, where Kudran was on the Council of Three Hammers instead of Falstad. Very soon after the event, Kudran was indeed replaced rightfully with Falstad.
== Magni Bronzebeard ==
[[File:MagniBronzebeard_1987.jpg|frame]]
''Strength. Honor. I see them in you. Why have you come?''
King of Ironforge and ruler of the Bronzebeard clan. During the Third War, when he heard of the death of his brother Muradin, {{spoiler|who turned out to be alive,}} he personally forged Ashbringer for Alexandros Mograine to fight against the Scourge. In ''Cataclysm'' is turned to stone in an attempt to save Ironforge from the earthquakes by activating a tablet recovered from Ulduar.
-----
* [[Ascend To A Higher Place Of Existence]]: Implied in the short story ''Charge of the Aspects''. Thrall feels a presence in the mountains of Khaz Modan that is repeating the Earthen phrase Magni said before he was turned to stone.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Badass]]
* [[Drop the Hammer]]
* [[Dual-Wielding]]
* [[Heir Club for Men]]
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In ''Cataclysm''.
* [[I Have No Son|I Have No Daughter]]: Averted. The fact that he never formally disinherited Moira in spite of her refusal to return, and still hoped that she would do, so leads to the [[Succession Crisis]].
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: To Anduin
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]
* [[Parents as People]]: Loves Moira, but also wants a male heir, and admits to those closest to him that he was not the best father for her.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Personally lead his forces into battle during the Second War and is also a master blacksmith, having forged the [[BFS|Ashbringer]] himself.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: In ''Cataclysm''.
* [[Ultimate Blacksmith]]: He forged the [[Cool Sword|Ashbringer]] himself, harnessing all of his rage, fury and the desire of vengeance against Arthas into the blade. Kind of pointless as his brother survived, {{spoiler|however it gets used for the purpose it was forged, shattering Frostmourne and ending Arthas' reign by the hands of Tirion Fordring.}}
Line 383 ⟶ 430:
* [[Badass Beard]]
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Malfurion and his brother Illidan.
* [[Dull Surprise]]:
* [[Flanderization]]: In the books, Malfurion goes from being a bit of a controlling dick to being a pure saint.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: He's the leader of the druids, and thus has a very close connection to nature, as well as considerable respect for all the races, Alliance and Horde. In fact, he isn't even flagged for [[PvP]] (which leads to some [[Fridge Logic]] that he would watch his dear wife be killed without lifting a finger).
Line 390 ⟶ 437:
* [[Shapeshifter Mashup]]: In ''Cataclysm'', he has physical traits of all the animals druids can transform into, most prominently antlers, wings, and claws.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
== Moira Thaurissan (Formerly Bronzebeard) ==
[[File:MoiraBronzebeard_9332.jpg|frame]]
The daughter of Magni Bronzebeard, she was abducted by Dagran Thaurissan. Before adventurers killed her husband, she fell in love with him and became pregnant with his child. Angry with them for the death of her husband, she refused to return to Ironforge until her father was petrified, at which point she returned to claim her throne. Varian arrived to unseat her, but spared her at Anduin's request and established the Council of Three Hammers to rule until her son comes of age.
-----
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: She almost comes across as [[Affaby Evil]], but Anduin realizes that much of her politeness toward him is a facade to hide her bitterness.
* [[Brainwashed]]: Subverted hard. See [[More Than Mind Control]] below.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Much of her motivation comes from her desire to keep Ironforge around for her son to rule.
* [[More Than Mind Control]]: Turns out she really did love Thaurissan and respect the Dark Iron dwarves.
* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]
* [[No Mister Bond I Expect You to Dine]]: Has dinner with Anduin, enabling him to learn much about her true personality and motivations.
* [[Not Brainwashed]]
* [[Odango Hair]]
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Magni does his best to save Moira from the merciless evil Dark Dwarf Emperor. This, of course, is send adventurers to assassinate him. Only to find that she was [[Happily Married]] to the tyrant and just PLAYING at being his slave girl.
* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: Falls in love with Dagran Thaurissan after being abducted, believing he respected her in ways her father did not.
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: In ''The Shattering'', as a result of her father being petrified. Varian arrives to depose her, but when Anduin convinces him it would be a bad idea, he forms the Council of Three Hammers so she can rule responsibly.
* [[Wolfpack Boss]]: She fights alongside Muradin and Falstad Wildhammer.
Line 606 ⟶ 674:
* [[Wizard Beard]]
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: Because there are a bunch of demons there that want to kill you horribly. And it's not fully clear that his people even ''have'' a home to go back to (considering the damage the Orc warlocks did to Draenor, one can only imagine what became of Argus).
