When he met an enemy in the open who had "plagued" his people, it turned out to be his brother, Sesk. Sesk was bald, had scars, and had crimson eyes. Gorn thought he had been dead, but Sesk told him that he is just "reborn". He had drunk demon blood.

||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | [[File:MograineDK.jpg|thumb|left|Mograine as a death knight in Naxxramas.]] |
||
| − | During the [[assault on Blackrock Spire]] in the [[Second War]], Mograine of the [[Silver Hand]] witnessed an orcish warlock channeling magic through a dark orb. After the warlock's death, Mograine went to claim it for the Alliance, but his hand was badly mangled as soon as he touched it. Though describing the orb as the "living embodiment of shadow," he was still curious as to what power it might hold and kept it in an iron chest. |
||
| + | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | Mograine kept the orb a secret until the [[Scourge]] reached [[Lordaeron]]. He [[Old Hillsbrad Ashbringer event|revealed it]] to several other members of the Silver Hand, suggesting that they search for the orb's polar opposite - a manifestation of the [[Holy Light|Light]] itself - to be used against the impending undead holocaust. Mograine's peers, appalled at the sight of this dark crystal, attempted to destroy it with a holy spell. Unexpectedly, the crystal absorbed the spell and became its antithesis, the very crystal of pure light that Mograine suggested moments before, and even restored life to his mangled hand. It was decided that from this crystal a weapon would be forged that would smite the undead with such power that only a cloud of ash would remain in its wake—''The Ashbringer.'' |

||
| − | Under the command of [[Saidan Dathrohan]], Mograine and [[High Inquisitor Fairbanks|Fairbanks]] traveled to [[Ironforge]] to ask [[King Magni Bronzebeard]] to forge the mighty blade. Magni, having only just learned of his [[Muradin Bronzebeard|brother]]'s apparent demise, was more than willing to craft a weapon to battle the undead, and described it as the greatest creation wrought by his hand. |

||
| − | Mograine and the other former Knights of the Silver Hand banded together to continue the war against the [[Lich King]]. Alexandros was appointed Highlord and the Ashbringer was the Order greatest weapon. However, the blade caught the attention of [[Kel'Thuzad]]. Striking a deal with [[Balnazzar]], who had covertly taken control of the Order by possessing Dathrohan and wished to use it against the Lich King, the two planned to kill him. To do so, Balnazzar corrupted Mograine's son [[Renault Mograine|Renault]] and had him lead his father into a trap. Renault led his father and [[High Inquisitor Fairbanks]] to [[Stratholme]] where an army of undead waited for them. Renault fled and Fairbanks, being the first to fall, was trapped under the pile of undead corpses. Mograine stood alone against the undead, yet managed to destroy all sent at him. In fatigue, Alexandros dropped his blade. Renault returned and killed Mograine with his own sword, [[Corrupted Ashbringer|corrupting the Ashbringer]]. Unable to use the blade, Renault left it with his father's corpse. |
||

| − | However, Kel'Thuzad raised the Ashbringer's corpse turning him into a [[death knight]] of the Scourge, and reclaimed his blade. Kel'Thuzad took Mograine back to [[Naxxramas (original)|Naxxramas]] to have him serve as one of the [[Four Horsemen (original)|Four Horsemen]]. Later, led by nightmares of his father's tortured soul, Darion led a small group of [[Argent Dawn]] members into [[Naxxramas]] to free him. Darion was the only one to survive the assault, escaping with the blade but forced to leave his father's body behind. |

| − | When Darion returned to the Scarlet Monastery with the blade, Alexandros's corrupted spirit manifested and confronted Renault, accusing him of murder before mercilessly killing him. Later, during a Scourge assault on [[Light's Hope Chapel]], Darion plunged the Ashbringer into his own chest in an act of self-sacrifice that obliterated the Scourge armies and seemingly freed Alexandros's soul of the Scourge's corruption. In doing so, however, Darion damned himself into undeath and was escorted off the battlefield by Kel'Thuzad. |

Alexandros mentioned that Darion would one day wield Ashbringer. However, their reunion was cut short by the arrival of the Lich King, who claimed Alexandros's soul with [[Frostmourne]]. |

 Gorn | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Gender | Male |
| Race | Orc |
| Class | Barbarian, Blademaster (RPG) |
| Affiliation(s) | Orgrimmar |
| Occupation | Leader of Kargath |
| Location | Kargath, Badlands |
| Status | Alive |
Gorn is a level 40 quest giver located at Kargath in the contested territory of the Badlands. He is of the Orgrimmar faction.
In the RPG
Gorn is the orc warlord at Kargath in the Badlands. The old orc Gorn runs the enclave, located in the northwestern area of the Badlands. Gorn and his warriors keep tabs on the renegade orcs in the eastern lands — remnants of the Blackrocks (in Azeroth's Redridge Mountains) and Dragonmaw (in Khaz Modan's Wetlands) clans. He aims to wipe out the remaining evil orcs and bolster the Alliance’s confidence in the Horde.[1] He is large, even for one of his kind, and easily hefts a massive greataxe in one of his mighty fists. He wears no armor and is dressed in only a fur-covered leather wrap twisted around his waist, leaving his broad, well-muscled frame on display for all to see. From the wealth of battle scars that are visible, the orc is no stranger to combat; and, despite his savage appearance, he carries himself in an almost regal manner.
Gorn is a warrior of simple tactics, having risen swiftly through the ranks of the Horde thanks to his unmatched ability to strike hard and fast. He never offers mercy to opponents, preferring instead to grant them the honor of dying in combat. If there are any obvious spellcasters among his enemies, Gorn begins the fight by using his mirror image ability to create decoy targets for their spells. Otherwise, he prefers to rage and then close into melee combat immediately. If possible, Gorn charges the most fearsome warrior first, attacking him until he falls, and reserves mirror image for use only if the tide of battle goes against him.[2]
In Horde Player's Guide, Gorn is mentioned in a story. He is the son of Luhk the Keen-eyed and grandson of Dharl of the Thrice-Bloodied Blade. When he met an enemy in the open who had "plagued" his people, it turned out to be his brother, Sesk. Sesk was bald, had scars, and had crimson eyes. Gorn thought he had been dead, but Sesk told him that he is just "reborn". He had drunk demon blood. They were last seen charging at each other.[3] It would seem that Gorn survived as he is in World of Warcraft, although the fate of his brother is unknown.
Trivia
- He is not to be confused with Gorn One Eye.
- It is possible that the name Gorn is a reference to a Gorn, an alien creature Captain Kirk battled in an episode of the original Star Trek.
