Background
The current regent began his career as the second-in-command of Sylvanas Windrunner in the Ranger Corps of Silvermoon. He participated in the defense of Quel'Thalas' forests during the Second War.ToD 228
Many years later the traitorous Prince Arthas, having already ravaged his own homeland, led the undead scourge against the high elves. The Ranger Corps fought Arthas at every turn but were pushed further and further back towards their capital. Sylvanas Windrunner was slain by Arthas outside Silvermoon, and the city finally fell to the legions of undead. Lor'themar, along with Halduron Brightwing and others, was part of a group of blood elves who remained in Quel'Thalas after the fall of Silvermoon City and the deaths of King Anasterian and the entire Convocation of Silvermoon. Following Sylvanas' death, Lor'themar remained a part of the Ranger Corp and was responsible for protecting Quel'Thalas from the Scourge before and during the re-founding of Silvermoon City.
Not long after Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider returned from Dalaran to proclaim the rebirth of the former high elves as the blood elves, or Sin'dorei, in honor of their fallen brethren. Chosen as the new Regent of Silvermoon, Lor'themar was commanded to "safeguard the land and seek a cure for their people" while Kael'thas took a group of the blood elf forces to join the resistance against the Scourge in Lordaeron. To aid him in this task, Lor'themar chose Halduron Brightwing, the new Ranger-General of Silvermoon and a long time friend of Lor'themar's.
The Sunwell
|
Approximately around this time, the traitor Dar'khan Drathir pursued Anveena, the current avatar of the Sunwell, into Quel'Thalas. Lor'themar and Halduron rallied the blood elves in alliance with the band of adventurers and blue dragons who had joined together to protect Anveena and threw back the Scourge. While Lor'themar and Halduron fought against Dark'khan's undead minions, their comrades were able to awaken Anveena to her true nature: she is, in actuality, an artificial being created to house the reaccumulation of the Sunwell's energies. Upon realizing this, she unleashed her powers upon Dar'khan and the Scourge, destroying them entirely. Anveena elected to remain in the Sunwell Grove to help restore it, and Halduron and Lor'themar pledged to aid her, as well as keeping her existence a secret. Sometime after, Grand Magister Rommath arrived as herald of the prince, bringing the message that Lor'themar was to prepare the blood elven people to come join their prince in the promised haven of Outland.
Lor'themar is one of the few blood elves who know that Anveena is the avatar of the Sunwell, and the effect that this new manifestation will have on the blood elves' future is unknown, given their overwhelming need for magical energy to fight their common addiction, and the potential alternative that Anveena represents to Prince Kael'thas's plans in Outland. He is unaware, however, that Kael'thas has allied himself and the blood elves with the Burning Legion, which may have dire ramifications for Anveena's safety...[1]

Ranger-General?
The Burning Crusade teaser site has Lor'themar Theron preceededing Halduron Brightwing as Ranger-General[2], while Dark Factions shows Halduron being chosen after Sylvanas' downfall. It is possible this is a direct change to the story, or Dark Factions simply omitted the period of time Lor'themar may have led the rangers.
Trivia
- In the trading card game, Lor'themar is portrayed as a paladin, though nothing in the lore has suggested he is one. However, this might be because of blood elves being the first horde race to have paladins, (blood knights) and Lor'themar was listed as a paladin (blood knight) to emphasize this; just like how Velen is listed as a shaman yet there is nothing in lore to suggest this either.
- Lor'themar Theron is the racial leader of the blood elves in World of Warcraft. He is one of the only racial leaders (alongside Bolvar Fordragon) to not have his own set of phrases and quotes.
Quotes
- About Dar'khan Drathir: "Come, let us welcome our wayward brother home by planting his grinning head on and end of a spear."
- TCG: "The blood elves will endure any hardship, overcome any obstacle, and emerge stronger than before."
- Post Patch 2.4 gossip talk: "Be strong. Kael'thas has betrayed us and what we know is in flux, but do not lose heart. We will endure, as we always have. Arthas did not crush our spirit when he swept through our land, and neither will Kael'thas. Let it serve as a lesson to us all as we move forward to our prosperous future."
