Interview with James Waugh

Genn's personality in-game seems drastically different from that shown in the novels, appearing as a kinder, understanding ruler instead of the gruff, impatient king. This was addressed and explained during an interview:

I had a question about Genn, because I was wondering how early you decided to change Genn from more of a, lets be honest, before this comic he was kind of a jerk.

James Waugh: "I think you're dead on. And then when suddenly had to make a character that was going to be a racial leader, do we want that same guy that was a complete jerk? And to be honest, some of that just fell to the themes that are present in Gilneas. It's a culture that walled itself off from the rest of the world. Previously we had a said this was just to protect themselves(The Gilneans). But what kind of culture breeds a decision like that? So, to me, it wasn't so much that Genn was a jerk but he was just self-reliant. He believes in the superiority of his people, the strength of his people and not asking others for help. That is a sign of weakness. His father Archibald came out of that and there's a character there. It, in a way, defined the ideals of the Gilneas culture. Because they are very advanced, it's very Victorian. They seem to have industry there, that ethos builds that industry. So he was prideful, but he gets put in a place. And that was really the point of the short story I wrote. He has to relook at his entire values. His culture has to look at its entire values system, and in that way, we can make him more relatable."

Curse of the Worgen

This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

• "When I told some of you that I wanted to form an army to retake Gilneas City from these light damned Forsaken… There were those who said Gilneas City would never be retaken. That it was impossible. Well I say to you that we must no longer let our fears control us! For too long I let my fear control me… Fear that I had made all the wrong decisions… Fear that our nation would lose its identity… Fear that if all of you knew the truth, the whole truth… You would reject me as your leader. Well I give in to fear no longer. Look upon me now and see that which I have kept hidden. Now that you know the truth, I ask each of you… who will stand with me, who will fight by my side? Who among you will set aside your fear?"
• "Then it is time for those Forsaken predators to become the prey!!"
• "It's high time these Forsaken bastards learned... that there's nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal.

Hallow's End

Genn celebrates Hallow's End.

Sons and daughters of Gilneas! Friends and allies old and new! Please, come close!

As you know, Hallows End is a celebration of transition... of change.

The people of Gilneas understand the gravity of change all too well.

For we have endured much... far beyond what any of us could have imagined.

However, this is a time of neither mourning nor grief.

It is an opportunity to mock the fearsome - to gaze boldly into the grim unknown and laugh!

It is a time to celebrate new friends and the future we may forge together.

New struggles await us with each dawn, and uncertainty weighs upon us all.

As you stand before me, I pray you cast your burdens behind me.

Let this wickerman embody any unrest within us.

With turmoil as tinder, let it blaze; may it temper us against what tomorrow may bring.

Genn turns around to face the Wickerman and takes out a torch as he orders it.

Torches ready!

Let the flames fly! Hallow's End is upon us!

Genn and the crowd of Wickerman Revelers throw their torches and light the Wickerman, then switch to Worgen form. They cheer and applaud, then return to human form. Genn despawns.

Gossip

Wind's Redemption

Remain vigilant, <name>. War is always on the horizon.

Lord Admiral's Rest

The people of Kul Tiras are united, but their leading house is not, and the Alliance is without one of our most powerful heroes.

It is my hope this rift can be healed as well.

Harbormaster's Office

I suppose it was too much to hope they had forgiven Jaina. Her uncertain fate is troubling, but we must remain focused on the mission.

We must bring Kul Tiras into the Alliance. If Katherine Proudmoore is unwilling to hear us out, these sympathizers are our best hope.

Nazjatar

We're in the trap. All we can do is try to get out.

<Genn looks at the Tidestone of Golganneth for a moment.>

So this is what is keeping the water from flooding in? I'm glad we have it now.

Long have I waited for this moment, <name>. I will finally claim justice for Liam.

Stormwind Embassy

Initial

The campaign on Argus was costly, but necessary. Now we must focus on defending our own lands.

We cannot sit idle while those Horde monsters build their forces.

Post 8.3.0

In order to preserve peace, we must prepare for war.

Stormwind Keep, worgen heritage questline

A fool's errand. But I will let my daughter chase it so she may learn some lesson from it. It is your job to make sure nothing happens to her.

Shadowlands

Death Rising gossip

The Banshee's cursed shadow hangs over us all.

The Crucible after  [60] Penance and Renewal - To Alliance characters

I will never forgive the Banshee for what she did to Teldrassil. Or Gilneas.

Or my son.

<Greymane clenches his fist.>

But for now, our focus must turn to Anduin. He will need our help to recover from what he's endured.

The Crucible after  [60] Penance and Renewal - To Horde characters

I refuse to believe that your fallen Warchief feels even the slightest remorse for her crimes.

When will she answer for what she did to my people? To my son?

<Greymane glowers.>

You have much to answer for as well.

Dialogue with Anduin Wrynn

 <Stay awhile and listen.>

Genn walks over to Anduin.

Genn Greymane says: I can't tell you how relieved I am to see you safe, my king. Even after reading Jaina's reports, I can scarcely imagine the horrors you endured.

Anduin Wrynn says: There were times I thought I would never escape the Jailer's control. The things he made me do...

Genn Greymane says: Those actions were not your fault! You cannot blame yourself.

Anduin Wrynn says: I... I should have been stronger...

Genn Greymane says: Anduin Wrynn, you are the strongest man I know. And when you return to Stormwind, the whole kingdom will tell you the same.

Anduin Wrynn says: I can't go back, Genn. Not yet.

Genn Greymane says: But the people need--

Anduin Wrynn says: Turalyon will keep the Alliance safe in my absence. And I know you'll watch over everyone we care about... Old Wolf.

Genn Greymane says: Of course. Take whatever time you need. And when you're ready... please, come home.

Genn walks back to his old spot.

Dialogue with Lor'themar Theron (triggered by talking to Lor'themar)

Lor'themar and Genn in the Crucible.

Lor'themar walks over to Genn.

Lor'themar Theron says: Well met, King Greymane.

Genn Greymane says: Regent Lord.

Lor'themar Theron says: I hope the fate of Sylvanas Windrunner brings the Alliance some measure of peace.

Genn Greymane says: Peace? You stand in the Shadowlands, Regent Lord. Ask the dead she sent here whether they feel peace.

Genn Greymane says: As for me, that's something I will never know. Not while the monster who killed my son still endures.

Lor'themar Theron says: I understand. My people are haunted by the deeds of monsters as well.

Genn Greymane says: And what of you? Are you hoping that the ranger-general you served comes back from the Maw? Or would you prefer having your warchief again?

Lor'themar Theron says: I spent most of my life alongside the Windrunner family. Sylvanas was my hero... and my friend. But the banshee who nearly led the Horde to ruin was neither.

Genn Greymane says: Then you shouldn't have followed her commands. Good day, Regent Lord.

Lor'themar Theron says: Good day, King Greymane.

Lor'themar walks back to his old spot.

Oribos gossip

We cannot be lax in our vigilance. Much remains to be done, and much to be paid for.

Dragonflight

Stormwind Harbor gossip

We live in interesting times, <name>.

Dialogue with Mathias Shaw (triggered by talking to Genn)

Master Mathias Shaw says: King Greymane, I thought you should know. Wrathion asked if there's been any word from--

Genn Greymane says: Anduin?He asked me the same question. Though their friendship has been strained, I know the king considers Wrathion an ally.

Master Mathias Shaw says: Several years have passed since Azeroth's heroes returned from the realms of Death.

Master Mathias Shaw says: In that time, I've followed up on countless leads. Reports that the king was sighted here or there. None of them have been proven true.

Genn Greymane says: I do not think that we will find Anduin until he wishes to be found. That may take some time.

Master Mathias Shaw says: Turalyon is popular with the nobles, and he's a natural leader to our soldiers. But the people of Stormwind miss their king.

Genn Greymane says: The best thing that any of us can do is give Anduin the time he needs. And to be here for whenever he comes home.

In the RPG

This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

“Damn the orcs, damn the Alliance, and damn you! The last thing Gilneas needs is sponges from other nations drawing from our resources, Dalaran wizards meddling with our affairs, and someone else's enemies killing our soldiers! Gilneas is its own nation and it always will be. This is the last time I'll ever talk to you, Terenas, so I hope you were listening.”

— Greymane's last known speech, as recorded by Mystrum Runedance (presumably at one of the Alliance councils).

Genn Greymane is a brawny warrior, despite being in his seventies by year 26 ADP. He is classified as a fighter, hunter, and scoundrel.{{fact}}

Appearance

Genn Greymane is a grizzled, bearish man with fading gray hair and blue eyes. From Legion onward, his hair has faded completely to white.

In his original appearance from Cataclysm, Greymane used a generic human model with a black suit and a golden cloak. This inspired a few pieces of artwork, as can be found in the TCG and in Chronicle Volume 3. In Curse of the Worgen, he wore a matching but more detailed, grey suit with a golden trim. In Legion, Genn's hair and beard were trimmed, and Genn's model was finally and retroactively updated to match his Curse of the Worgen depiction. In Legion onward, his suit is brown with a silver trim.

His worgen form's original art by Wei Wang depicted him with gray-white fur and blue eyes, akin to his human form. In-game, he initially used a generic worgen model with dark fur and golden eyes, which Chronicle Volume 3's art matches. In Legion, Greymane's model has a stark white fur, but still with golden eyes. In the Battle for Azeroth cinematic, Genn matches exactly his original art by Wei Wang, with a marine blue outfit.

In Heroes of the Storm, Greymane is depicted with pointy werewolf ears, and his worgen form has dark fur and blue eyes.

In Hearthstone, he is depicted with his Heroes of the Storm outfit but with gray-white fur.

In Hearthstone

This section contains information exclusive to Hearthstone and is considered non-canon.

Genn Greymane appears as a legendary card in the The Witchwood expansion for Hearthstone. His flavor text reads: "Ever since Sylvanas killed his son, he's dreamed of getting… even."

Notes and trivia

• Last time Genn visited Stromgarde presumably at some point before the Third War, Gilneas was a powerful nation and Stromgarde's star was waning.
• As of , Greymane is one of the four surviving Alliance rulers from the Second War, the others being Kurdran Wildhammer, Gelbin Mekkatorque, and Magni Bronzebeard (who was petrified during a ritual in the events of The Shattering, but has returned as a crystalline herald for Azeroth); King Terenas of Lordaeron, King Thoras Trollbane of Stromgarde, Admiral Proudmoore of Kul Tiras, Lord Perenolde of Alterac, Antonidas of Dalaran, King Anasterian Sunstrider of Quel'Thalas and, King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind have all died (all murdered with the exception of Perenolde, who died in prison) in the interim.
  • Magni and Thoras have since returned, albeit as a living crystal statue and a Death Knight respectively. Both have left the leadership of their respective kingdoms.
  • During the time that Gelbin was put into stasis following the Battle of Dazar'alor, Genn was the only Second War leader still actively leading of his people. Mekkatorque was later healed thanks to the aid of the Mechagon mechagnomes and resumed his position of leadership immediately.
• Genn is also one of the two alliance racial leaders with a still living spouse in World of Warcraft, the other being Tyrande Whisperwind.
• While at first glance it may appear that Greymane was named so by Blizzard because of the worgen curse, his introduction being all the way back in Warcraft II would mean it is a coincidence.
• Unlike some worgen, Genn prefers his human form. He becomes a worgen only when it is absolutely necessary, concerned that he may lose himself in bestial violence.
  • His thoughts in Wolfheart contradict this slightly, as he claims he prefers the feeling of his worgen form as he does not feel the constriction of age upon him while in that form; though it may be in reference to exertion.
• Genn is a playable character in Heroes of the Storm. He shifts between ranged (human form, with a pistol) and melee (worgen form, with his claws) combat.
• Genn's generic name in Nazjatar is Gilnean Elite, and his mount is  [Vicious Gilnean Warhorse] and a gryphon.
• Genn's new model in has two colorations. Originally, there was one model used that had Genn looking noticeably younger, with darker grey hair. This was changed during the development of where he received an alternate coloration, giving him stark white hair and a brown and silver coat, akin to the one worn by Genn in Glowei's depiction. The first coloration is exclusively used in all pre-Legion appearances, perhaps to show a passage of time.
  • Prior to , his hair was a pale gray and used the standard human male model.
•  [Genn's Copper Coin] can be fished up from the fountain in Dalaran.
  •  [Genn Greymane's Coin] can be fished up from the fountain in the version of Dalaran.
• In Gilneas and during the Battle for the Broken Shore Genn was protected by Gilnean Royal Guards.
• During the alpha stages of Warlords of Draenor, a scrapped Shadowmoon Valley quest-line revolved around finding a cure for a sickness that reverted worgen to their feral state. King Greymane would succumb to this state, become ill and be bedridden in Stormwind. His daughter, Tess Greymane, would travel to the region to find the cure.
• Genn is voiced by Cameron Folmar.
