Orgrim Doomhammer

Orgrim Doomhammer (portrayed by Robert Kazinsky in the film) was the warchief of the orcish Horde during the end of the First War and the entirety of the Second War. Incensed by his friend Durotan's death at the machinations of the Horde's corrupt leadership, Orgrim set out to free the Horde from demonic corruption and ultimately assumed the role of warchief of the Horde by killing Gul'dan's corrupt puppet, Blackhand. Under his decisive leadership, he led the Horde to conquer the Eastern Kingdoms, and might have succeeded had Gul'dan not divided his forces during a crucial battle to chase after a powerful artifact in his search for power. The Alliance took advantage of his forces' weakness and pushed the Horde back to Blackrock Spire. Orgrim sought to demoralise the Alliance and regain the Horde's momentum by slaying Anduin Lothar at the base of the Spire. Instead, Lothar's lieutenant, Turalyon, used Lothar's passing to whip the Alliance into a frenzy and pushed the Horde back to the Swamp of Sorrows. After the Dark Portal was closed, cutting the stranded orc clans off from reinforcements, the orcs buckled under the might of the Alliance, and were rounded up and placed in internment camps. Orgrim escaped imprisonment and wandered Azeroth as a hermit until Durotan's Frostwolf clan introduced him to his son, Thrall. Inspired by the young orc's idealism, Orgrim revealed his identity to Thrall. The two rallied the surviving orcish clans and fought to break the orcs out of the internment camps. During one such prison break, Orgrim was mortally wounded by a knight and passed the mantle of leadership to Thrall. The orcish capital of Orgrimmar, the Horde-controlled town of Hammerfall in the Arathi Highlands, and the flying battleship Orgrim's Hammer that patrols the skies of Icecrown are named in his honour.
