Varok's failure in slaying Malfurion caused conflict between him and Sylvanas. This hesitation allowed Tyrande Whisperwind to arrive and heal Malfurion. Sylvanas gave Varok the honour of finishing Malfurion off, but the orc could not bring himself to do so dishonourably. During the fight, Varok struck a dishonourable blow against Malfurion, wounding him severely through an axe toss. The battle was fierce and long, but ultimately Sylvanas and Varok prevailed. Thus distracting the Alliance forces, Varok led an invasion on the night elven capital of Darnassus, though they met heavy resistance from Malfurion and the rest of the night elves there. Despite his misgivings, Varok ended up going through with Sylvanas's plans, pretending to be in conflict with Sylvanas and causing the Alliance to marshal their forces in Silithus thanks to their spies witnessing the conflict. In Battle for Azeroth, the new warchief Sylvanas Windrunner consulted Varok on how to best attack Stormwind, something that Varok was very reluctant to do - though Sylvanas's rationale on securing a future for the Horde won Varok over, so long as victory was earned with honour. The death of Varok's son shattered the old orc, and he would retreat from being a major player in the Horde. Regardless, Dranosh is put to rest, and the remains returned to the grieving Varok. Varok would confront his son, transformed into Deathbringer Saurfang - though the circumstance would be different depending on whether the player is part of the Alliance or Horde. During the final fall of the Lich King, Saurfang would personally command the gunship Orgrim's Hammer in the final assault in Icecrown Citadel. Varok's son Dranosh was slain by the Lich King and turned into one of the foul undead. He was known to nearly come to blows against the hot-headed Garrosh during this campaign. He would once more lead the Horde's forces into battle in Wrath of the Lich King, first defending Orgrimmar from the Scourge, and then commanding Horde forces in Warsong Hold. Varok would be reunited with his adult son Dranosh in Burning Crusade. In World of Warcraft, Varok Saurfang was a high-ranking orc stationed in Orgrimmar's Valley of Strength, and would participate in the War of the Shifting Sands, acting as Supreme Commander in the war against the silithid. Varok would help many Horde veterans in coming to terms with the atrocities done under the blood curse, but his own slaughter of many humans and draenei haunted him. Varok would join the survivors of the Second War in following Thrall all the way to Kalimdor, fighting in the Battle of Mt. Varok afterwards participated as a major commander of the Horde under warchief Blackhand (and later Orgrim Doomhammer), noted to be unstoppable in battle until the final battle of the Second War when the Horde was defeated (in Hearthstone, Uther was the one who beat him!). Varok thus hid his son Dranosh away at Nagrand, under the care of Greatmother Geyah. Prior to the opening of the Dark Portal, Varok's mate Remda died, with her dying wish that their son not be exposed to warlocks or cross the Dark Portal. As part of the Horde, Varok committed many atrocities, participating in the saccking of Shattrath and the mass slaughter of Draenei. Alongside Orgrim Doomhammer and Eitrigg, Varok Saurfang was the three primary lieutenants of Warchief Blackhand when the First Horde was formed. (Originally published in 'Book of Heroes', where he appeared before showing up here) Varok Saurfang was born on Draenor as an orc of the Blackrock clan.
