Ballador the Bright

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]

Traits

This man was small for a human, but bulky and well-muscled. Though a quiet man, he nevertheless still commanded attention from others. His brown hair was kept in a long ponytail, and his brown eyes were kind. However, when he spoke, the rich baritone could undoubtedly either entrance women or command men.

Ballador was a quiet man when he was away from the battlefield, but was 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.^[2]

Trivia

• He could also be a random hero on other multiplayer or campaign maps.
• The in-game files refer to him as Edward Kang.
• He doesn't appear in the novel Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, but his quotes are said by Gavinrad the Dire.
