Deathstalker Commander Belmont is a Forsaken Deathstalker commander, who appears in Silverpine Forest to do battle with the Alliance and the Worgen. He is also found in Shadowfang Keep, and serves as its primary quest giver for Horde players.
Overview
Belmont planning with various deathstalkers.
Belmont first appears within Forsaken High Command, having sent Deathstalker Rane Yorick to scout information on the Gilneas Liberation Front's movements within Forsaken territory. Following Yorick's death at the hands of Ivar Bloodfang, Belmont has her report handed over to the Banshee Queen - revealing an uneasy alliance between the Gilneas Liberation Front and the Bloodfang pack.
Belmont and the Val'kyr Arthura later relocate south to the Forsaken command post in Gilneas, were intensive fighting was going on against the worgen. They leave shortly before a besiegement by the Bloodfang - now also backed by the 7th Legion. The two of them and the player fight their way to the corpse of Lord Godfrey, whom Lady Sylvanas has plans for. Arthura and the player make their escape with his corpse, while Belmont remains behind, confident that he can make it back to the basecamp. However, during the flight back, a large number of howling Worgen are seen overlooking the lone Belmont.
Despite his apparently grisly fate, Belmont was able to escape his predicament, and following the Forsaken victory in Silverpine is out for revenge - on the treacherous Lord Godfrey, who had shot Lady Sylvanas from behind in his absence. Belmont, along with a regiment of Forsaken troopers and blightspreaders, now resides inside Shadowfang Keep, keen to show Godfrey the wrath of the Banshee Queen.
After clearing the dining hall, High Warlord Cromush appears, and "reminds" Belmont that use of the fully powered plague is forbidden. Belmont quickly assures him that this version serves as little more than a Worgen repellent, though tells the player that "unsurprisingly" they are not going to pay much heed to Cromush's opinion on the blight, and thanks them for "keeping quiet" about its true potency. He later finds Cromush had been wounded by Godfrey's poison, and ensures nothing interferes with the battle against Godfrey.
Belmont gives the quests to kill Baron Ashbury, Baron Silverlaine, Commander Springvale, Lord Walden and Lord Godfrey, respectively.
