Exarch Othaar was one of the five Exarchs of the Council of Exarchs, leaders of draenei society under Prophet Velen, until he swore himself to Sargeras and the Burning Legion, transforming into a man'ari eredar and taking the name Socrethar. After his defeat in Shattrath City, he used a corrupted fel vigilant to preserve his soul until he was ultimately defeated by the adventurers in Hellfire Citadel.

History

Warlords of Draenor This section concerns content related to Warlords of Draenor.

During the war in Draenor, Othaar was first encountered in Elodor in Shadowmoon Valley where he gathered the other Exarchs of the Hand of the Prophet — Maladaar, Akama, Hataaru, and Naielle — in order to hear Maraad's request of supporting the Alliance against the Iron Horde.[2] However, when Hataaru was eventually found dead, Othaar pointed out that Naielle was arguing with him earlier, and that Maladaar was suspiciously well informed about the tools of the Burning Legion.[3]

While Othaar and Akama prohibited his actions, Maladaar and Soulbinder Nyami still performed a ritual to summon forth Hataaru's spirit to identify his killer and learned that an exarch had a role in his death.[4] Consequently, Maladaar tasked the Alliance champion to help him install a device on Exarch's Rise to help root out the traitor, which exposed Exarch Othaar as the traitor. He betrayed his people in favor of power and transformed into a man'ari eredar, renaming himself "Socrethar", but fled upon being weakened by the Alliance champion, warning the Council of Exarchs that their days were numbered.[5]

As the master of the Sargerei, Othaar later led the forces of the Burning Legion to claim the draenei capital of Shattrath City after its liberation from the Iron Horde. The Auchenai and the Sunsworn worked together with the Sha'tari Defense in order to cast him out and free the city. Before the attack, Archmage Khadgar instructed Archmage Modera to spy on Socrethar's Rise, in order to stop the fallen exarch from recruiting more agents for his organization.[6] After completing N [40] Socrethar's Fury, Khadgar sent the adventurers to liberate Shattrath of Socrethar's presence, who had been working with the Shadow Council in the name of the Legion.[7] With the assistance of Lady Liadrin and Exarch Maladaar, Socrethar was eventually challenged and killed.[1] His avatar could also be killed in Shattrath.

Socrethar as a fel vigilant in Hellfire Citadel.

Following his defeat in Shattrath, however, Socrethar used a corrupted fel vigilant to preserve his soul, and can now be found in the halls of Hellfire Citadel.[8] He was once again attacked by the adventurers and his vigilant was used against him, defeating his soul. However, with his dying breath he revealed he was being consumed by the Twisting Nether.

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

It's not clearly stated what class he was as Exarch. He could be either vindicator, paladin or warrior. Ishanah described the main timeline version of him as "a warrior of the Light".[10]

Since the Burning Legion[11] and Twisting Nether transcend all realities,[12] and demon are reborn in the Nether, many questions about Socrethar, or indeed the Eredar in general, arise. Evidently the mortal eredar are not multiversal singularities, as there have been at least two Velens encountered. Similarly, the conversation where Afrasiabi revealed this information did go on to suggest that the situation with the eredar is 'difficult' to say the least. The Socrethar encountered on Outland is clearly familiar with the draenei who confront him, and the fall of Draenor, and vice-versa. So how the two relate to each other is currently unknown.
