Sabellian
<Baron Sablemane>
Level: 72
Blade's Edge Mountains ^{[53.1, 41]}

Sabellian is a black dragon, son of the black Dragon Aspect, Deathwing.^[1] He was one of his lieutenants prior to the black Aspect's abandonment of Draenor. During the black dragonflight's alliance with Ner'zhul's Horde, Sabellian and his brethren transported the orc chieftains Fenris Wolfbrother, Tagar Spinebreaker, and a small party of orcs to Menethil Harbor, on their way to retrieve the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras. Once the artifacts were secured he followed Deathwing to the orc's homeworld of Draenor.

Once on Draenor, the black dragons settled into the Blade's Edge Mountains. They were not there long before they were attacked by Gruul, his offspring, and a small group of Alliance Expedition fighters. The eggs were destroyed and Deathwing was forced to flee from battle, followed immediately by Sabellian.

Deathwing managed to return to Azeroth, but Sabellian remained behind on Draenor — now Outland. He is a fierce enemy of Gruul the Dragonkiller and Gruul's seven sons, and hates them deeply for killing Sabellian's own people and children.

"My loathing of interruptions is overshadowed only by my hatred of Gruul the Dragonkiller and his seven sons!"

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

It is also possible that Sabellian has something to do with the Black Dragonflights attack on Azshara due to the fact that the area now is called Sable Ridge. This can be supported with the fact that the drakes soaring over the area are called Sable Drakes and the area itself is called Sable Ridge.

This area however is later wiped out with the help of the blue Wyrm, Azuregos.
