Med'an is the Guardian of Tirisfal of the New Council of Tirisfal and is notable for possessing the skills of a mage, shaman and paladin combined. He was born as the lovechild of the skilled assassin Garona Halforcen and former Guardian of Tirisfal Medivh[2].
Med'an is the main protagonist in the third volume of the World of Warcraft comic.
Biography
As a child, Med'an was handed over by Garona — for his safety from herself — to undead sorcerer Meryl Winterstorm, who has been his guardian until his young adulthood. Prophesied to be the "savior of Azeroth", an undead mage named Stasia Fallshadow had tracked him down and launched a failed attempt to abduct the young half-breed.
Although Stasia has died in her attempt to capture the boy, her employer - the Twilight's Hammer clan - is still eager to capture the boy and his mother. Upon meeting Aegwynn, Meryl notes a striking resemblance between the former Guardian and the boy, becoming certain that Medivh is the boy's father, meaning he is one quarter orc, one quarter draenei, and one half human. Aegwynn herself was startled, immedately being reminded of her son when she saw Med'an's face for the first time. She also notes that like Medivh, Med'an is a "beacon of power".
Because of Med'an's mixed ancestry, he possesses power in both the arcane arts and shamanism. He has also expressed interest in acquiring knowledge in holy magic, which Maraad has been teaching to the half-breed.[3] According to the reborn Council of Tirisfal, this combination of magical talents has made him an excellent contestor for their vacant spot of Guardian. Furthermore, his mixed heritage guarantees that the boy will not be assumed biased in the Horde vs. Alliance conflict.
Encouraged by his father to take up the duties of Guardian of Tirisfal, Med'an assumes this post and commits the council to defeating Cho'Gall.[2]
Along with Aegwynn and Valeera Sanguinar, Med'an is amongst the select few who know of Meryl Winterstorm's demonic possession.
