Who is The Burning Crusade’s Kael’thas Sunstrider?
We never really realized that Kael’thlas Sunstrider from Blizzard‘s World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is pretty cool. He was recently the focus of an article by Elizabeth Wachowski from WoWInsider, who basically gave Kael’thas’ entire life story and background. Truly a must-read for any fan of WoW lore.
Kael’thas Sunstrider is not your typical villain. While reading his backstory, we couldn’t help but think that Kael’thlas is actually pretty well-developed. His actions are somewhat rational, considering his situation and all. If you were an elf, and someone slaughtered your people and your dad, then proceeded to defile the source of your magical power, wouldn’t you be emo angry, too? Especially when after all that and you took the Blood Elves and joined the Alliance, you get sent on a suicide mission where the only way you survived was by being helped out by the “enemy”? Yeah. We thought so, too.
Aside from Kael’thlas’ life story, Elizabeth Wachowski provides an in-depth look at this character and the significance that he holds in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. In fact, she even explains why you have to kill him. For those who want to read more on this, just can click on the “Read” link below.
