NOTABLE FORSAKEN
Sylvanas Windrunner - Before the coming of the plague, Sylvanas
Windrunner was the brave Ranger-General of Silvermoon. During the Third
War, Prince Arthas invaded the elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas. Sylvanas led
her forces in a desperate struggle against the undead Scourge, but Arthas
eventually defeated the high elves and transformed Sylvanas into one of his
banshee slaves. Cursed to mindless undeath, Sylvanas only regained her
will when the Lich King's powers waned. Eventually she outwitted the
Scourge and broke away with her rebel faction, which she came to be
known as the Forsaken. Now she rules over the Forsaken from the
Undercity of Lordaeron. Her goal is to take vengeance upon Arthas one
day and find lasting freedom for her cursed people.
Varimathras - The dreadlord Varimathras was one of three demons
appointed to rule over the Plaguelands on behalf of the Burning Legion.
These dreadlords sought to overthrow the death knight Arthas and undo
the power of the undead Scourge. Varimathras and his brethren
coordinated their efforts with those of the banshee Sylvanas Windrunner in
an attempt to overthrow Arthas and claim Lordaeron. Though their plot
worked as planned, Sylvanas turned on the dreadlords next. In order to
save his own life, Varimathras was forced to swear allegiance to Sylvanas
