Son of the Alliance's first king {{wow|Llane Wrynn}}, Prince Varian witnessed his father's murder by the half-orc {{wow|Garona Halforcen}}, instilling his dislike towards the {{wow|Horde}}. He then grew up to be a respectable man, with good signs that he would become a good king of {{wow|Stormwind}} one day. Unfortunately due to the plot of the Black Dragon [[Onyxia]], Varian ends up being split in two, his diplomatic but more passive side residing in Stormwind, while his warrior spirit stranded to {{wow|Kalimdor}}, amnesiac and picked up as a gladiator by [[Rehgar Earthfury]]. Befriending two other gladiators, [[Valeera Sanguinar]] and {{wow|Broll Bearmantle}}, Varian would make a name of himself in the ring as "Lo'Gosh/Ghost Wolf", but he soon broke away from his gladiator life. Accompanied by his two friends, he reclaimed his true identity and kingdom, slaying Onyxia.
Returning as the King of Stormwind and becoming the High King of the Alliance, Varian led the Alliance in many battles against the [[Lich King]], [[Deathwing]], [[Garrosh Hellscream]], the {{wow|Iron Horde}} and finally the {{wow|Burning Legion}}. While at first his hatred for the Horde for killing his father made him a bit too hotheaded but it was the Legion who was responsible for controlling them during First War before Orgrim Doomhammer slaughtered the Shadow Council and Grom Hellscream killed Mannoroth the one who was responsible for orcs' corruption, he managed to temper his ferocity and develop his diplomatic side further in a good balance with his warrior spirit, seeing the big picture and the importance of unity. He heroically sacrificed himself during the assault of the Burning Legion on the Broken Shore, buying enough time for the Alliance to regroup. His son, [[Anduin]], has assumed Varian's position as King of Stormwind and High King of the Alliance.
Never one to back down from a difficult task or shy away from the front lines, King {{wow|Varian Wrynn}} of {{wow|Stormwind}} has always sought to do what he believes is best for his people. Without question, he is eager to pick up a sword and shield in defense of the {{wow|Alliance}}, {{wow|Azeroth (world)|Azeroth}}, and now... [[Nexus|The Nexus]]. There is no opponent too great nor battlefield too harsh to stop Varian from leading those around him toward victory.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20327398 New Heroes and More Announced at BlizzCon 2016!].
