Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig is a human paladin of the 7th Legion and a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand. He was one of the leaders of the Might of Kalimdor until it was disbanded.
History
World of Warcraft
He was a commander of the Might of Kalimdor - the army raised by both the Horde and the Alliance in opposition to the growing threat from Ahn'Qiraj. He was present in Cenarion Hold in Silithus when the Scarab Gong was rung by the wielder of 
[The Scepter of the Shifting Sands] and would go on to fight in the desert.
Wrath of the Lich King
During the war against the Lich King, Leoric traveled to Wintergarde Keep in Northrend to fight the Scourge along with the rest of the 7th Legion. He wanted to halt the undead's supply line and put to rest the raised miners in Wintergarde Mine.[1] He posted a bounty on Onslaught Commander Iustus,[2] and also handled the bounties on High Shaman Bloodpaw and Kreug Oathbreaker posted by Drolfy and Illusia Lune.[3][4]
Legion
Upon the death of Tirion Fordring, Leoric traveled to the Sanctum of Light and joined the reformed Order of the Silver Hand.
Dragonflight
During the Reclamation of Gilneas, Leoric led some forces of the 7th Legion to help the Gilnean Army reclaim Gilneas City and was stationed at Keel Harbor.

Dialogue
Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig and Siege Engineer Quarterflash in Wintergarde Keep had the following conversation:
- Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig says: The mine is lost. All of our defenders have perished and the miners resurrected as Scourge aberrations!
- Siege Engineer Quarterflash says: It does get worse, old friend. According to my calculations, without suitable materials to repair our parapets, the walls protecting this keep will crumble in twelve hours.
- Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig says: Grim news, my pint-sized companion. Should we suffer a defeat here the ramifications will be felt across this frozen wasteland. Highlord Fordragon and our armies at the Wrathgate will be defenseless against an assault from Naxxramas.
- Siege Engineer Quarterflash says: We have been through worse and survived, Leoric. Do not forget Hyjal...
- Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig says: Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten Hyjal, or Silithus, or the march of the Legion, or every other damnable confrontation the 7th Legion has faced. It... I don't want the soldiers to hear this, Two-bit, but for the first time in my life...
- Siege Engineer Quarterflash says: Say no more, Leoric. We all feel the chill in our bones. Yet, each day, heroes arrive from across the world - and beyond.
- Siege Engineer Quarterflash says: I have heard whisperings from the east that our esteemed Scarab Lord has joined the battle, as have entire battalions from Shattrath: heroes blessed by A'dal himself, granted rank as Hand of A'dal!
- Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig says: You are right, of course, old friend. Let us hope that these heroes arrive soon.
Notes
- When he appeared in Silithus, Leoric wore a set of Judgment Armor and wielded a
[Grand Marshal's Longsword] and 
[Grand Marshal's Aegis]. During his time at Wintergarde Keep in Northrend, he wore the Lightbringer Armor with a tabard bearing the symbol of the 7th Legion. In the Sanctum of Light and Keel Harbor, he regained his initial armor and weaponry.
