High Warlord Cromush is an orc high warlord, who attended the meeting where Sylvanas showed Garrosh how the val'kyr raise the dead into Forsaken. Both the High Warlord and the Warchief himself were disgusted by this, and to make sure the forsaken won't be up to any tricks, Garrosh dispensed Cromush to "guard" Sylvanas.

Cromush takes this charge without question, though appears to be far more tolerant of the Forsaken than some other orcs in the Eastern Kingdoms.

Following the victory over the Alliance in Silverpine Forest, he fought against Lord Godfrey and his allies when they betrayed Sylvanas, making Godfrey and his ilk escape to the nearby Shadowfang Keep. He urged the val'kyr to resurrect Sylvanas, which they did, even though it costed them their lives.

Deathstalker Commander Belmont later finds Cromush within Shadowfang Keep, and together with the player work to defeat Godfrey. Belmont smoothly attributes the plague the Forsaken forces had been using to clean the keep's effectiveness to be little more than a worgen repellent, an excuse Cromush takes with a pinch of salt. Godfrey is later able to incapacitate Cromush via poison, leaving Belmont and the player to continue ahead and take revenge.

He was later relocated to Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad Foothills, eager to put the Forsaken war machine to good use. After the demise of Kingslayer Orkus, Cromush honors his actions for the betterment of a Horde-controlled Lordaeron, and learns of the Stormpike Clan's intentions towards it. He asks for the aid of the Frostwolf Clan in retaliation, and is shocked when General Drek'Thar completely rejects the notion of aiding the Forsaken.

Outraged, Cromush resolves to defeat the Stormpike without the assistance of the Frostwolf. With the help of the player and the Banshee Melisara, Cromush goes about bringing the destruction of the Stormpike Clan in Hillsbrad, and is able to bring about an aptly named "Stormpike apocalypse", shattering their presence in Hillsbrad.

Cromush reveals that Warchief Hellscream will learn of Drek'Thar's supposed "treason", though it is unknown what became of this situation.

Quotes

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Where is that ogre-headed buffoon?
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Ah, speak of the devil ...
Portals from Orgrimmar arrive with Hellscream, Hellscream's elite, and High Warlord Cromush.
Hellscream jumps from the portal down to Sylvanas.
Garrosh Hellscream says: This better be important, Sylvanas. You know how I detest this place and its foul stench. Why have you called for me?
Garrosh Hellscream says: And more importantly, what are those Scourge fiends doing here?
Garrosh makes a gesture at the Val'kyr.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Warchief, so glad you could make it.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: With the death of the Lich King, many of the more intelligent Scourge became...unemployed. Those 'fiends,' as you so delicately put it, are called val'kyr. They are under my command now...
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: ...and they are part of the reason that I asked to see you.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Get on with it, Sylvanas.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Very well, Warchief. I have solved the plight of the Forsaken!
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: As a race, we Forsaken are unable to procreate.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: With the aid of the val'kyr, we are now able to take the corpses of the fallen and create new Forsaken.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Agatha, show the Warchief!
The Val'kyr Agatha proceeds to resurrect fallen corpses as Forsaken.
High Warlord Cromush says: ABERRATION!
Garrosh Hellscream says: What you have done here, Sylvanas... it goes against the laws of nature. Disgusting is the only word I have to describe it.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Warchief, without these new Forsaken my people would die out ... Our hold upon Gilneas and northern Lordaeron would crumble.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Have you given any thought to what this means, Sylvanas?
Garrosh Hellscream says: What difference is there between you and the Lich King now?
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Isn't it obvious, Warchief? I serve the Horde.
Sylvanas mockingly salutes Garrosh.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Watch your clever mouth, bitch.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Cromush, you stay behind and make sure the Banshee Queen is well "guarded." I will be expecting a full report when next we meet.
High Warlord Cromush says: As you command, Warchief!
Garrosh Hellscream says: Remember, Sylvanas, eventually we all have to stand before our maker and face judgment. Your day may come sooner than others...
