Many fell to the Scourge and Nathanos was no exception. As one of Sylvanas' most trusted, he was quickly elevated to the highest possible rank, Ranger Lord.Īrthas and his Scourge laid waste to northern Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas. He was smart, he was capable, and he had experience that the insular elves lacked. Nathanos was easily a good enough archer to stand with the Farstriders, and he excelled in melee combat, wielding double axes. Sylvanas inherited her mother's position as Ranger-General, and now that she was in charge she offered Nathanos a position in the Farstriders despite the objections of her officers. He was there for her emotionally, and professionally, helping to figure out who had murdered them, and looking after her when she was too stressed to look after herself. When Sylvanas' parents were killed, Nathanos was her rock. It was delightful, and heady, and heart pounding, and Sylvanas loved it. Nathanos was almost as often the object of her amusement as he was her interest, but his tongue was as sharp as hers and he had no hesitation in firing off a scathing retort. She did not shirk her duties, but she also allowed herself to indulge in something that she hadn't for a long, long time. But Nathanos Marris, the oft-scowling, sharp-witted, irreverent human, interested her greatly. Nathanos was Sylvanas' retreat from the mundane life of an elf living surrounded by beauty and duty and boredom.Īnd there was another feeling she had not experienced before, one she had never has time or patience to pursue.

Stephon was around nine years old when Nathanos became a Farstrider, but although awed by Sylvanas and his cousin's rank, Stephon aspired to become a paladin. We do know that Nathanos had a young cousin, Stephon, who resembled him. We do know that he became a Ranger Captain and was visiting Southshore when Thrall escaped from Durnholde, but apart from his presence in the town we know of no connection to that event. We know very little about Nathanos' early life. ![]() His family lived at a stead in the Eastweald, now known as the Eastern Plaguelands. Nathanos Marris was a citizen of Lordaeron. When Sylvanas went off the rails at the end of Battle for Azeroth, Nathanos stood by her side, finally becoming a World Boss in the lead up to Shadowlands.īut who was Nathanos Blightcaller and what kept him by Sylvanas' side even through the darkest of times? Sylvanas, the new World of Warcraft novel by Christie Golden, has given us an unprecedented look into this enigmatic character and what Sylvanas both saw and had in him. In Battle for Azeroth Nathanos became a quest hub and players learned to love to hate the acerbic, temperamental Forsaken. The Champion of the Banshee Queen rarely featured and although he was a Hunter Trainer in Undercity, his character was a bit of a mystery until Sylvanas assumed the role of Warchief of the Horde at the beginning of Legion. ![]() Nathanos Blightcaller has been a constant background character in World of Warcraft. ![]()
