−

'''Broxigar''' (aka '''Broxigar the Red''', '''Broxigar the Red Ax''', or simply '''Brox''') was a veteran [[orc]] [[warrior]] whose comrades were slaughtered in battle and who sought his own death in battle because of his guilt. Brox was an important figure in the [[War of the Ancients]], and was chronologically the first orc ever encountered on Azeroth in the new altered timeline.

Brox was a veteran of the First, Second, ''and'' Third Wars — well-known among his people for his heroic actions in helping to hold a vital mountain pass against hordes of demons during the Third War. Of all of his comrades, Brox was the only one left alive when orcish reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield. Though he was greatly honored by his people, Brox never forgave himself for his "cowardice" in surviving while all of his comrades died a noble, glorious death. Even his niece Thura, who was just a child at the time, could sense the guilt he felt upon his return to his family.<ref>''[[Stormrage]]'', pg. 5</ref>

When the Horde shamans detected the temporal anomaly in the [[Stonetalon Mountains]], Brox and a younger warrior were sent to investigate. Brox's companion, [[Gaskal]], was slain and Brox himself was thrown ten thousand years into the past along with a [[Rhonin|human]], and a [[Krasus|dragon]].

=== Among the night elves ===

−

In due course, Brox was captured by the [[Moon Guard]] and brought to [[Suramar]] for safekeeping. Though the night elves treated him like an animal, the novice priestess [[Tyrande]] was kind to him, giving him food and healing his injuries. Brox called her "[[shaman]]", believing that the powers of healing she used were granted to her by the spirits.

−

Brox was eventually freed by Tyrande who had meanwhile teamed up with two other time-travelers, the dragon-mage [[Krasus]] and his former pupil, the human mage [[Rhonin]]. Brox stood guard over the comatose [[Malfurion]] as the latter destroyed a [[Highborne]] spell disrupting the [[Well of Eternity]].

−

=== Against the Legion ===

−

Brox's fighting skills earned him a fair reputation among the [[Kaldorei Resistance]]. Though typically xenophobic, the night elves accepted him (although the presence of the dragon [[Korialstrasz]] may have influenced that somewhat).

−

When Brox's axe was taken by the [[Moon Guard]]s that captured him, the night elf [[Malfurion]], under the forest demigod [[Cenarius]]' direction, created a mystical axe of wood that had the sharpness and density of a diamond. In Brox's hands, it was to be the death of literally thousands of demons and allowed him to achieve the unthinkable against their lord.

−

=== A blaze of glory ===

−

At the final battle over the [[Well of Eternity]], Brox realized that if the world and the future were to be saved, his companions needed more time. Brox leapt from the back of one of the red dragons also carrying Rhonin into the swirling portal that was opening at the bottom of the funnel. When he passed through, and arrived in the realm of the [[Burning Legion]], he proceeded to slaughter multitudes of demons, blocking their advance towards the portal, slaying so many that he ended up standing atop a hill of their bodies — mocking more to come challenge him. It was there that he eventually attracted the attention of [[Sargeras]], who came personally to put an end to the orc's life. However, using the magical axe crafted for him by [[Malfurion]], Brox did the impossible, and struck a small wound in Sargeras' leg. This wound would later be the focus of [[Krasus]] and his allies' spellwork, that for a second, tore Sargeras' attention away from his struggle to keep the portal open...allowing Malfurion and Illidan to close it upon him. Brox's life was ended by Sargeras, right before the demon entered the portal, by the jagged edge of Sargeras's [[Gorribal|broken sword]]. With this final act of loyalty, Broxigar the Red sealed his place in history as the only known mortal to have ever staged an assault upon the Burning Legion's leader.

−

Broxigar the Red died, not a mere honorable death, but was struck down in a blaze of glory nearly unheard of in the history of the orcs.

−

When Krasus returned to the present day, his first act was to take Brox's magical axe directly to Thrall. Disguised as an orc shaman, Krasus told his tale of how Brox helped stop another demon invasion, and implored the Warchief to [[Lok'vadnod|sing songs]] of Broxigar the Red, his legendary life, and his glorious sacrifice.

−

The night elves raised up a statue to him, making him the the only orc to have ever been given homage by them. Tyrande and Malfurion honored him after the war and even after the death of the [[Lich King]], the mere mention of Brox's name is enough to remind Tyrande of how they lost him, causing tears to well up in her eyes.<ref>''[[Stormrage]]'', pg. 178</ref>

−

Now his brother, [[Varok Saurfang]], High Overlord of the [[Kor'kron Guard]] holds his name in honor.

−

Varok also mentions Brox when you turn in [[Dranosh Saurfang|Dranosh Saurfang's]] battle armor.

−

In time, Thura grew up to warrior age and after proving her skills, Thrall gave her Brox's enchanted wooden axe, of which Thrall's most trusted shaman had seen in a dream that it should go to her. She felt honored to wield such a fabled weapon.<ref>''[[Stormrage]]'', pg. 5</ref>
