Warcraft Wiki:Featured articles/Anduin Lothar
Sir Anduin Lothar, also known as the Lion of Azeroth, was the last true descendant of the ancient Arathi bloodline, a knight champion of the Kingdom of Azeroth (later known as the Kingdom of Stormwind) during the First War, and the Supreme Commander of the armies of the Alliance of Lordaeron during the Second War. He perished in battle at the base of Blackrock Mountain against the orc Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer just before the end of the Second War and the destruction of the Dark Portal. He is considered to be one of the greatest human warriors of all time.
Lothar grew up in the court of Azeroth as a childhood friend of both the Prince Llane Wrynn and the wizard Medivh. The trio shared many adventures in the Azerothian wilderness in their youth. Upon his coming of age, Lothar joined Azeroth's military, where he was later knighted and arose quickly to the position of Armsman of the Brotherhood of the Horse, eventually leading Azeroth's armies against the orcs during the First War.
