Lore[edit | edit source]

Swift Messenger is a member of the Gilnean Royal Guard.[1]

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
The Gilnean Royal Guard is a force of elite human soldiers dedicated to the service and protection of the monarch of the Kingdom of Gilneas. Exclusively loyal to the Gilnean royal family (the House of Greymane), the Royal Guard has likely been in existence for as long as the kingdom has.
The force has been present during many of Gilneas's darkest times, such as the infamous Northgate Rebellion, where they formed a portion of the royalist forces attempting to crush the revolt. In more recent times, the Guard has played a role in such conflicts as the outbreak of the worgen curse, the Invasion of Gilneas by the Forsaken, and even the Burning Legion's third invasion, where they have fought against the demons alongside their king.
Serving the current King of Gilneas,  Genn Greymane, many members of the Royal Guard have subsequently become worgen themselves (along with much of the Gilnean population).

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Swift Messenger's name and summon quote are a reference to the United States Postal Service creed "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds".
