Tirathon Saltheril is a blood elf demon hunter. He is the first boss in Vault of the Wardens.
Background
Tirathon participated in the Illidari invasion of Mardum. Afterwards, he was imprisoned with the rest of his brethren in the Vault of the Wardens. After being freed, he was tempted by Cordana Felsong into joining the Burning Legion.[1]
Adventure Guide
Once ally to the Master, Tirathon made a bargain with the Legion in exchange for more power. Embittered after years of imprisonment, Tirathon is eager to dole out pain and suffering to whomever crosses his path. If that happens to be one of his former captors, then so much the better.
