Ballador the Bright

From WoWWiki

This article or section contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and official bonus maps.

Ballador the Bright was a Paladin stationed at Andorhal who protected the Urn of King Terenas alongside Sage Truthbearer and Uther Lightbringer. He was defeated by Arthas, but somehow survived.^[1]

This man is small for a human, but bulky and well-muscled. Although he is a quiet man, he still commands attention. His brown hair is kept in a long ponytail, and his brown eyes are kind. However, when he speaks, the rich baritone can undoubtedly either entrance women or command men.

Ballador is a quiet man when he is away from the battlefield, but is confident and commanding when fighting. He cut his teeth in the Second War and fought Arthas in the Third. He failed to save Uther Lightbringer from Arthas’ blade, and this knowledge haunts him. This drives him in battle, as he commands the troops and puts himself in the middle of melee in each battle, regardless of whether he needs to or not. He searches out the commander of the enemy and attempts to take him/her/it down immediately.^{APG 184}
