Thrall is the Warchief of the Horde. Born Go'el, son of the Frostwolf chieftain Durotan, he was raised as a slave and gladiator by a human lord named Blackmoore. He escaped, freed the orcs from the internment camps, led them across the sea to Kalimdor and founded Durotar and Orgrimmar. In WoW Forever, he leads the Horde from Orgrimmar.
