Rehgar Earthfury, the Shaman of the Earthen Ring, is a melee Healer Hero from the Warcraft universe. Rehgar has seen his share of combat, both as a gladiator and as a master of his own team of fighters. Now, having put that life aside, he serves as a simple shaman of the Earthen Ring, earning his redemption by healing the broken lands of Azeroth.

Rehgar is a well-rounded Healer who pairs well with Melee allies.

Background

This section concerns content exclusive to the Warcraft universe.

Born on Draenor and raised as a gladiator of the ogres, Rehgar Earthfury is a fearsome orc who had his experience in gladiatorial combat. After the Second War ended, Rehgar became an underground arena fighter and embraced Warchief Thrall's new shamanistic ways. He eventually managed his own team, and trained fighters to become gladiators, such as the night elf Broll Bearmantle and the blood elf Valeera Sanguinar, as well as his prized champion Bloodeye Redfist, who was killed by the mate of a rival he slayed. Luckily, Rehgar immediately found his replacement, an amnesiac human who would eventually be called Lo'Gosh, who in truth was the missing king of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn. Lo'Gosh, Broll and Valeera fought valiantly at Dire Maul and Rehgar was able to make a fortune. Lo'Gosh however was determined to restore his memory and Rehgar, who knew Lo'Gosh no longer wanted to be his slave, quietly hoped that his team would try to escape. At that point, Rehgar had his fill of the arena and offered his services to Thrall as an adviser and later joined the Earthen Ring.
