Biography

The Sunwell Trilogy

Template:Graphic novel Jorad Mace was a former paladin in the service of Prince Arthas, before Arthas' betrayal to the Alliance. When they first invaded, he had tried to stop the undead Scourge but failed and ventured to the safety of Tarren Mill. His failure to kill Arthas before he brought the Scourge to Lordaeron caused him to lose his connection to the Light. Ever since then he became an Ex-paladin and started working as a mercenary for hire. He agreed to assist Kalec and Anveena to find the Sunwell and knew the mage Borel, who helped him some times. During their adventures, he has grown close with Anveena and her draconic companions, especially with the blue dragon Tyri, who he is romantically attacted to. By aiding them in their quest to safeguard Anveena from Dar'Khan Drathir, Jorad believes that he has redeemed himself a little for his past failures.

Dragons of Outland

Sometime later, the surviving demons of the Third War under Lord Kazzak, managed to reopen the Dark Portal and reunite with their kin on Outland. Jorad Mace went with the Alliance army to secure Outland from the demonic threat. While on a quest to deliver a message to Honor Hold, he was reunited once again with Tyrygosa, who was under the guise of an elven mage in the Alliance army, watching over the mortals on behalf of the Blue Dragonflight. His strong feelings for Tyri allowed him to reconnect with the Light again.^{[citation needed]}  Tyri offered to fly him to Honor Hold but during mid flight, they were attacked by a spell from Ragnok Bloodreaver, causing them to crash land and be captured by a tribe of Broken. Tyri managed to escape but Jorad remained a captive. The Broken were distrustful of outsiders and especially dragons, as a new breed of dragonflight known as the Netherwing Dragonflight have been hunting them. Tyrygosa eventually came back in an attempt to free Jorad with new companions: Zzeraku and Valoku, but was betrayed by them. Jorad who had gained the Broken tribe's trust, managed to convince them that Tyri was not a threat before they attacked one another.

Tyri wished to learn more about the nether dragons and investigated a nether dragon lair. Jorad and the Broken chief Warrith accompanied her but were attacked by Ragnok's fel orcs. Realizing that a death knight named Ragnok Bloodreaver had created an army of enslaved Nether Dragons and fel orcs to conquer Outland and Azeroth, Jorad went back to the Broken village to warn them of Ragnok's army, but was only able to do so at the cost of Warrith's life, who had stepped in front of an attack from a fel orc to save Jorad's life.

Jorad reunited with Warrith's Broken tribe and asked for their help in warning the Alliance forces of Ragnok's impending attack on the Dark Portal. He and Valwar were dispatched to send word to an Alliance outpost, but the soldiers were skeptical of their claims and attempted to arrest Jorad for desertion. Jorad defended his absence by saying he had important matters to attend to that benefited the Alliance and demonstrated his ability to wield the Light as evidence of his honesty and continuing loyalty to his people. Jorad's commanding officer, Irulon Trueblade, vouched for Jorad and urged Commander Duron to put the army on high alert. The Alliance and Horde armies at the gates of the Dark Portal shored up their defensive lines for the oncoming battle. Horde, Alliance, and Valwar's Broken tribe met with Ragnok's forces and engaged in battle. Tyrigosa was forced to shut down the Dark Portal to stop Ragnok's forces from getting a foothold in Azeroth.

Jorad kills an orc on a Nether Ray and uses the ray to get on top of the Nether Dragon that Ragnok was fighting on and engages Ragnok directly. Ragnok attacks Jorad with magic, but he uses the protective aura of the Light to deflect the death knight's spells. Jorad figures out that Ragnok has a device that links the control collars used to enslave the Nether Dragons and smashes it to pieces. After which, he calls on the Light and becomes a beacon of pure Light. Jorad calls on the Light to bring judgement on Ragnok and incinerates Ragnok with a blast of Light. With their leader dead and the lost of the Nether dragons' support, the Alliance and Horde armies drove off the remains of Ragnok's forces.

Following the battle, Tyri takes the enthralled Nether Dragons to the Nexus in the hopes of freeing them from their enthrallment. When she returned to Outland, Jorad rendezvous with Tyri again, who after her failure with the Nether Dragons at the Nexus, decides to remain in Outland to teach and look after the the next generation of Nether drakes that will hatch from a new batch of nether eggs.
