Aman'Thul the High Father is a male Aesir Titan. He is the leader of the Pantheon and brother to Sargeras, and consort to Eonar the Lifebinder.
His metallic skin is platinum and eyes glow yellow. His hand holds a large staff with a Lightning symbol atop and electricity flows around the staff. He has long hair and a beard reaching his waist.
Aman’Thul rules the Pantheon — the titan high council. He is the oldest and wisest of his ancient race. Once, Aman’Thul and his brother Sargeras oversaw the creation of innumerable worlds across the Twisting Nether and gently guided countless races to greatness. Sargeras was Aman’Thul’s closest advisor and supporter until he turned to evil. Now Aman’Thul looks to his consort Eonar for council. Though the mysterious High Father is rarely seen, every world feels his presence. As leader of the titans, Aman’Thul is responsible for the creation of all worlds, including Azeroth. All those who revere the titans ultimately pay their respects to the High Father. On Azeroth, explorers have only recently uncovered the titans’ existence, and few aside from the Ironforge dwarves venerate them. Dwarves, being a practical lot, show their respect for the titans by delving ever deeper into their mysteries.
Aman’Thul prefers to keep his distance and pound his foes with magic, casting up to three spells at once (one normal, one quickened, and one hastened). He takes to the air if it seems helpful, hovering above the conflict and raining magical destruction upon his enemies. Against great foes, he uses gate to call Eonar, Aggramar or Norgannon to his side. He willingly enters melee if necessary, casting quickened spells every chance he can. He uses avatar if he exhausts his spells.S&L 113, 114

Speculation
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials.
It should not be taken as representing official lore! |
On Draenor?
Before the Burning Legion corrupted the orcs on Draenor, they were a peaceful shamanistic people. Their religion was based around the worship of nature's spirits, particularly five Elemental Spirits. It is possible that Aman'thul, based on the obvious similarities in their appearance, is the orcish Thunder God depicted on the Altar of Storms.
- Aman'Thul's lightning powers were likely inspired by Zeus, the Greek god of gods, but his form, personality, and title are cloned with great effectiveness from the Viking chief god, Odin the Allfather.[1]
In World of Warcraft?
An apparition of Aman, who may possibly represent Aman'Thul, can be seen in World of Warcraft.
