Varian Wrynn, also known as Lo'Gosh the "Ghost Wolf", is the son of the late King Llane Wrynn and the current King of Stormwind. Following his disappearance en route to a diplomatic conference with the Horde, Varian's ten-year-old son Anduin Wrynn was named king in his place. However, events have led to his eventual return to his homeland and his rightful throne. He has become a major player in the Warcraft universe; a dynamic human character who has replaced the human heroes that are either old, dead, or super-villains. He has even been described as the "anti-Thrall". Leading the recent campaigns against the Scourge of Northrend and the Forsaken of Lordaeron, he has solidified his status as the undisputed military leader of the Alliance.
