It was at Lady Prestor's behest that the young [[Anduin Wrynn]] be given the crown, so that order could be preserved within the [[Kingdom of Stormwind]] when the child's father, King [[Varian Wrynn|Varian]], went missing under suspicious circumstances while en route to a diplomatic summit at [[Theramore Isle]].{{cite|WoWMan|170}}
 
 
Lady Katrana Prestor and Lord [[Bolvar Fordragon]] serve as the king's main advisors, and they pretty much call the shots. However, Bolvar is not one to insult the judgment of an "educated" lady like Katrana Prestor. It seems like her advice is pretty much the exact opposite of anything a logical person with half a brain would come up with. As a result of Lady Prestor's intervention, proper human leadership has become impossible. She doesn't seem to think the other races are necessary. Katrana won't even allow the king to send reinforcements to human lands that desperately need it, such as Duskwood and the Redridge Mountains. Every report of enemy activity on those fronts is shot down for lack of "proof", despite knowledge of dead men and women. It's unknown what she did to get the prince's ear, but for whatever reason she’s managed to keep both the king and Lord Bolvar following her directions (and some of them are clearly nonsense). She's just playing games with the Alliance troops when they have good men and women dying out on the front. Her motivations are unknown; she's certainly either working for something malicious, or she is malicious herself.{{Cite|APG|162-163}}
 
 
==True identity==
 
Lady Prestor is the human form of the [[black dragon]] [[Onyxia]], broodmother of the [[black dragonflight]] and daughter of [[Deathwing]]. She controls Highlord Bolvar through the use of the [[Drakefire Amulet]]. Her name is an homage to the form her father took when human, [[Lord Daval Prestor]]. She manipulates the [[Kingdom of Stormwind]], keeping them in the dark while her brother [[Nefarian]] — [[Lord Victor Nefarius]] — manipulates the [[Dark Horde]] in its battle against [[Ragnaros]].
 
 
While Nefarian is her brother, there is no evidence that the [[Victor Nefarius]]' human identity is supposed to be related to the "Prestor" line.
 
 
==In Wrath of the Lich King==
 
{{wotlk-section}}
 
Both Highlord Fordragon and Lady Prestor were removed in [[Patch 3.0.2]]. During the second [[Scourge Invasion]], an {{NPC||Argent Healer}} stood in Prestor's place.
 
 
With Varian's return and the fact that Onyxia is considered dead by the time of Wrath of the Lich King, it is unlikely Lady Prestor will return.
 
 
==Name==
 
Katrana's name may be derived from the word ''katran'' (катран in the cyrilic script) present in several Slavic languages, meaning [[wikipedia:spiny dogfish|spiny dogfish]] and rarely [[wikipedia:tar|tar]]. If this is the case, her name (meaning tar) refers to her real identity as a black dragon, or, if the name means mud shark, to her evil nature.
