Biography
When Gul'dan promised the orc chieftains unlimited strength and power, Kilrogg was one of the first to accept the offer, drinking the blood of Mannoroth, and becoming filled with strength and demonic rage.
As an older chieftan, Kilrogg Deadeye had become more unwilling to throw lives away in combat. In orcish politics older orcs become more pragmatic, which is often mistaken for cowardice by the younger generation. Prior to the the sacking of Stormwind, Kilrogg had killed three of his sons and two grandsons already who thought they could rule the clan better.LG 221
At the start of the First War, the Bleeding Hollow Clan participated in the first attack on Stormwind Keep, along with the Twilight's Hammer Clan, led by Cho'gall.W2Man 65 This first attack was an unmitigated disaster for the orcs, and Deadeye and Cho'gall blamed the failure on each other. A rift soon grew that threatened to rip the Horde apart before it had even begun its conquest of Azeroth. Gul'dan quickly stepped in to quell the problem, installing Blackhand as Warchief of the Horde.
Kilrogg fought under Blackhand, and then later under Orgrim Doomhammer. During the Second War his clan was stationed throughout Khaz Modan, where it controlled the Horde's vital mining and oil refining operations. After the end of the war and the defeat of the orcs, Kilrogg escaped and managed to avoid capture of his clan by the Alliance forces.
When Ner'zhul reopened the rift of the Dark Portal, Kilrogg lead his clan back through it into Draenor. There he was hailed as a hero, and was taken before Ner'zhul. After recounting the events of the Second War to the old shaman, Kilrogg, along with his friends Grom Hellscream and Korgath Bladefist, led the charge back into Azeroth to steal items of power needed to aid Ner'zhul in his scheme.
When Ner'zhul used the items to open more portals, abandoning Draenor and the orcs to destruction from the energies they had unleashed, Kilrogg Deadeye and Grom Hellscream managed to fight their way through the Alliance expeditionary force and reach the Dark Portal. Their clans passed through just before Archmage Khadgar closed it completely. The orcs attacked the humans on the other side of the Portal, but they were defeated. The Bleeding Hollow clan was rounded up and placed in the internment camps in Lordaeron.[1] It is said that Kilrogg Deadeye perished in the final battle against Khadgar on Draenor, but his body was never found.HPG 172
Kilrogg's son, Jorin Deadeye, is now a member of the Mag'har. How he escaped the corruption that consumed his father is, as yet, unknown.
