World of Warcraft Darion Mograine

Darion Mograine, son of the legendary Alexandros Mograine, is a pivotal and tragic figure in World of Warcraft, whose journey from a grieving son to the stoic leader of the Four Horsemen is one marked by sacrifice, loyalty, and inner torment. Originally a paladin of the Scarlet Crusade, Darion’s desperate act to save his father’s soul—plunging the cursed Ashbringer into his own heart—bound him to undeath and the service of the Lich King. As the second Highlord of the Knights of the Ebon Blade, Darion eventually broke free of the Lich King's grasp during the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel, leading the Death Knights to independence. Despite his cold, death-infused demeanor, Darion remains deeply committed to protecting Azeroth, often walking the fine line between darkness and duty. His leadership is grounded in honor and pain, commanding the respect of both the living and the dead. In undeath, he has found purpose—one forged through guilt, redemption, and iron will.

Darion is loyal, burdened, and unyielding. He bears the weight of his father’s legacy. His sword strikes with both grief and justice. He leads the Ebon Blade with grim resolve. He is undead, but not unfeeling. Darion Mograine is death given purpose, a knight shaped by sacrifice.
