From WoWWiki

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon is a boss and quest giver located in Stormwind Keep in the human city of Stormwind. He is considered a faction leader, and killing him will grant players an Honorable Kill. He is the bodyguard of King Anduin Wrynn, and helps him rule until either the boy comes of age, or the king's father, Varian Wrynn, is safely returned to the kingdom, whichever happens first. Bolvar Fordragon is aided in this endeavor by the mysterious Lady Katrana Prestor.

Lord Bolvar is as stalwart and loyal of a soldier as they come, perhaps to a fault. While he does his best to look after Stormwind’s interests, he seems to have fallen under the charm of the alluring Lady Katrana Prestor, much like many others in the kingdom. By deferring to her judgment, he has allowed for some crucial gaps in the defenses of human-controlled territory. He is one of the few who is aware that the true king of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn, is probably alive (and missing). This is one of the justifications for keeping most of Stormwind’s army centralized; Katrana has convinced Bolvar that the boy King, Anduin, will be the next target of whoever captured or killed the real King on his diplomatic mission. It is suspected that Varian was captured because his trip to Theramore signified an effort to make peace with the Horde, and a number of forces wish the fighting between the Alliance and the Horde to continue.^{APG 163}

[edit] Wrath of the Lich King

This section concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.

In the upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, Bolvar Fordragon will be leading the forefront of the Alliance campaign against the Lich King in Northrend. He may not actually be in Northrend, in the quest Hell Has Frozen Over he is described as having soldiers sent to Valgarde. However, it was said very clearly that he would be in Northrend  in this video, so he may just not be in Valgarde. If so, it is not clear who would take his place in Stormwind, but speculation would point to Varian Wrynn.

[edit] Notes

• During the High Overlord Saurfang Fact Craze, Alliance players tried to make Bolvar Fordragon a pop culture icon of their own. It was greeted with mixed results, and eventually failed to gain the same popularity as his Horde counterpart.
• Bolvar does not have a unique set of phrases when you click on him. He is also not taller than a normal human, unlike most faction bosses (which is somewhat ironic, since the other 2 human bosses, who do not yield honor points, are indeed taller than normal humans, and have unique phrases).
