MedivhMedivh was the last of an order known as the Guardians of Tirisfal of the World of Azeroth in the fantasy Warcraft Universe. He is the son of the great sorceress and Guardian Aegwynn and a gifted human mage named Nielas Aran. Unknowingly, Sargeras's spirit was hidden in him even before he was born. At the approximate age of 14, while traveling with Uther Lightbringer, the latent powers of the Guardian became active, and clashed with the spirit of Sargeras, still within Medivh, causing the young boy to fall into a comatose state for many years. Upon awakening, he quickly became one of the most powerful mages alive in that day and age. Despite the power of the Guardian, Sargeras's spirit still resided withing Medivh, and it left enough of the man alive to hide behind, as he manipulated those around him and worked to bring forth the Orcs from Draenor into Azeroth. Years later he was reborn, free of the spirit of Sargeras, and he strived to help the mortal races survive the onslaught of demons. He first reached the visionary leader Thrall of the Horde, in the guise of a mysterious prophet, and convinced him that only sailing to Kalimdor, the land in the west, will ensure their survival. He approached the stubborn humans of Lordaeron, still disguised as the prophet, and gave warnings of the mighty disaster that is about to come. No one heeded Medivh, save for Jaina Proudmoore, the daughter of Admiral Proudmoore, one of the commanders in the Second War of the Human Alliance against the bloodthirsty Orcish Horde. She travelled to Kalimdor with her Human Expedition and met the orcs led by Thrall. As usual the two factions clashed until they realized that Medivh had brought them together for a purpose. Upon realizing the immensity of the dire situation, they pushed toward the Ashenvale Forest and made alliance with the Night Elves. In the Final Battle on Mt. Hyjal, the mortal races along with the Night Elves were able to defeat the Second Invasion of the Burning Legion and utterly destroyed Archimonde. Thus through cunning trickery and a heart of repentance, Medivh saved the mortal realm from the corruption of the Burning Legion. Medivh's knowledge of demons alone is astonishing as described by the Undead necromancer Kel'Thuzad (who brought Archimonde into the realm of Azeroth by using one of Medivh's books on demons). When he was reborn, Medivh gained the ability to transform into a carrion bird, something he does repeatedly during his time in the mortal realm. It is not shown what happened to Medivh after Mt. Hyjal. In his final epilogue, he states that the world no longer needs guardians. It is assumed that he returned somehow to the spirit realm, indicated by his final words, "And now that my task is done, I will take my place amongst the legends of the past."
