Khadgar

LEADER OF THE KIRIN TOR

Khadgar is perhaps the most accomplished of all living wizards and one of the most powerful magi in Azerothian history. Khadgar currently acts as the leader of the Kirin Tor. He was an apprentice to the Guardian Medivh, until he helped defeat his possessed master. Though cursed with frailty and age, Khadgar nevertheless has been an exemplar for the Alliance, destroying the Dark Portal in the Second War, leading the Alliance Expedition to Draenor, and counterattacking against the Burning Legion and all who would threaten his world with annihilation.

As the leader of the Kirin Tor and one of the most powerful magi in existence, Khadgar has mastered the three branches of the Arcane known amongst all mages: Arcane, Fire and Frost.

Khadgar being as smart as he is powerful has the unique ability to blend these branches of magic together.
