Biography

Gul'dan bowing before Doomhammer.

Gul'dan bowing before Doomhammer.

Orgrim Doomhammer was the former Warchief of the Horde after Blackhand was overthrown. He was the one responsible for seizing power from Blackhand and slaughtering the Shadow Council. This came about after Gul'dan fell into a coma after Medivh was killed, and so Gul'dan was incapable of providing advice to Blackhand. Doomhammer became Warchief, and tortured Garona to provide him with the location of the Shadow Council. He forced Gul'dan to serve him in exchange for his life. Gul'dan also offered Doomhammer the use of mighty undead Knights, later known as Death Knights, who would serve him exclusively. Gul'dan desired the control of his own clan in exchange for this favour, to which Doomhammer reluctantly agreed. Doomhammer was also a friend of Durotan, the father of Thrall. Late during the Second War, Doomhammer grew tired of the neverending battle and sought to parley with Lord Anduin Lothar to end the war; however his party was surprised by a band of orcs loyal to Blackhand and was forced to slaughter Lord Lothar and his party in the confusion. Late in his life, he served as advisor to the young shaman, Thrall in his battle to re-unite the Horde. He fell in combat against the humans during the attacks on the Orc Internment camps, and Thrall succeeded him.

Thrall (Warcraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1301 words)
Thrall was the son of Durotan, who was the chieftain of the Frostwolf clan and the only clan chieftain that refused to drink of the tainted blood of Mannoroth, a Pit Lord of the Burning Legion.
In a test, he encountered the legendary Orgrim Doomhammer who tried to challenge him (pretending to be a threat to the Frostwolf tradition).
The anger over Doomhammer's death caused him to be the new Warchief of the Orcish Horde, and gave the New Horde much power and determination to free the remaining Orcs and crush the oppresive Humans who trapped their brethren.
