Blackhand the Destroyer, also known as Warchief Blackhand or simply Blackhand, is a character in the Warcraft universe. He was the first Warchief of the Orchish Horde as appointed by the warlock Gul'dan. In reality, Blackhand held little real power and was merely acting as a figurehead ruler to keep the orc clans in line, while the real power was held by Gul'dan.
