'''Leeroy Jenkins''' is a [[paladin]] of the [[Alliance]]. The character was created and inspired by the fan-made [[Leeroy Jenkins (video)]]. [[TCG Heroes of Azeroth/198|Leeroy Jenkins]] was made an official character in the [[World of Warcraft Trading Card Game]] as an epic ally card, number 198.
 
 
Metzen was asked at San Diego Comicon if the character will ever appear in [[World of Warcraft: The Comic]]. He thought it was a good idea. Only time will tell if it ever happens.
 
 
The original player behind Leeroy Jenkins was invited for a guest appearance during [[BlizzCon 2007]]. On stage, he recited the war cry of "LEEEEEERRROYYYYY JENKKKIIINNNSS" to the delight of the audience. He was said to be available at the after-party to meet and greet fans.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
His card represents one of the more notable inclusions of fan-created content into the [[Warcraft]] universe, as the character and catchphrase are taken from a popular [[Leeroy Jenkins (video)|video]].
