Illidan Stormrage – The Betrayer and Demon Hunter (Warcraft / World of Warcraft)

In the Warcraft universe, few characters are as complex and iconic as Illidan Stormrage. A Night Elf, twin brother to Malfurion, he is both cursed as The Betrayer and revered as one of the most powerful demon hunters Azeroth has ever known.

His fate was sealed during the War of the Ancients, when he chose to harness the Burning Legion’s powers in a desperate attempt to save his people. Blinded—both literally and by his obsession with magic and his doomed love for Tyrande—Illidan became something more than an elf, transforming into a hybrid being of immense power at the cost of his freedom and honor.

Illidan’s story spans ages: imprisoned for 10,000 years, freed during the Third War, he consumed Gul’dan’s skull to become half-demon, raised armies of his own, and seized control of Outland. To some, he was a villain; to others, a savior who walked the thin line between damnation and redemption.

In World of Warcraft, his legacy exploded with the Burning Crusade expansion (2007), where he reigned as the lord of Outland and final boss of the Black Temple. Nearly a decade later, Legion (2016) reframed his story, revealing his secret war against the Legion and his role as an unyielding protector of Azeroth—through extreme, often brutal methods.

Illidan embodies the tragic antihero: feared, misunderstood, yet always ahead of his time. His legendary line, “You are not prepared!”, remains one of the most iconic quotes in the history of World of Warcraft.
