Magroth the Defender was one of the last human paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand. He was rescued from naga captivity in Dalaran by Malfurion Stormrage and Maiev Shadowsong, and later joined two of his fellow paladins, Halahk and Dagren, in defending the ruins of Lordaeron against Arthas Menethil as the leader of the Defenders of Justice. However, he was eventually killed by Arthas and Kel'Thuzad.
Biography[]
Lordaeron[]
Magroth survived the Scourge's campaign through Lordaeron, and joined the last bastions of human resistance. However, he was captured by Illidan Stormrage and his naga, and brought to the ruins of Dalaran. He was freed by Malfurion Stormrage and Maiev Shadowsong, and subsequently pledged himself to their cause and helped them destroy the Eye of Sargeras, thus bringing Illidan's destruction of Icecrown to a halt.[1]
He later joined Halahk the Lifebringer and Dagren the Orcslayer at the Lordaeron palace gardens in an effort to defend Alliance refugees who were coming under attack by Arthas Menethil's Scourge forces. During this defense, Magroth fell in battle against the death knight and his followers, but only after stubbornly repeating to Arthas that he and his fellow paladins would never give up.[2]
Legion[]
Even when consumed by Frostmourne, the soul of Magroth refused to give up the Light. After Frostmourne was shattered, Magroth's spirit was freed, but his soul now wanders Icecrown Citadel. Frost death knights seeking to reforge the shards of Frostmourne into two new swords are forced to destroy Magroth's spirit before they are able to claim the shard that he is guarding.[3]
