Lore

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.

Wrathion, the Black Prince, is one of the few black dragons on Azeroth known to be uncorrupted by the taint of the Old Gods, and, following the death of  Deathwing and the destruction of the corrupted black dragonflight, one of the last known black dragons alive on Azeroth. His disguise is of that a human with dark skin. Claiming to have seen a future where Azeroth falls, Wrathion helps heroes of the Horde and Alliance gain power, usually in the form of magical epic-quality items. He is, however, ruthless in his goals and pursues what he perceives as the greater good for Azeroth with almost fanatical devotion.

As the self-proclaimed last black dragon, Wrathion believes that the titans' mandate to protect Azeroth (once entrusted to his father) now falls to him, and he will do whatever it takes to fulfill this charge.

Judging by his card art, Wrathion appears to have been drawn to Gadgetzan by the Kabal's corrupted red mana, although it is not clear what use he has in mind for this new source of power. His summon quote may refer to his remaining in human form - rather than revealing himself as a dragon - in order to avoid persecution, and he is certainly not the only clandestine draconic member of the Kabal. Given his power and knowledge, Wrathion may be a more significant figure in the gang's operations than it appears, and he certainly has something in common with the Kabal's 'troll' leader,  Kazakus.

Trivia

  • Despite being a black dragon lorewise, Wrathion's Hearthstone card lacks the Dragon minion type. This is because his card depicts him in his human form, rather than his draconic form,[2][3] and Blizzard wanted to "sync mechanics with visuals"[4] and "make it obvious what doesn't count visually".[5]
