Valeera Sanguinar – Master Assassin for Stormwind
Although Valeera Sanguinar is a Blood Elf, her loyalties do not lie with the Horde, but with the Alliance. She is not only part of the Uncrowned, a global coalition of rogues, but also a master assassin who frequently operates for Stormwind and maintains close ties with Mathias Shaw, the leader of Stormwind’s intelligence agency SI:7.
Valeera was a good friend of Varian Wrynn, with whom she had to compete as an arena fighter when he lost his memories and was taken captive.
Due to her friendship with Varian, she also feels obliged to Anduin, Varian’s son. This circumstance has only further increased her bond with Stormwind.
Valeera’s complete story is somewhat unclear, as a large part of her narrative is related to the character “Med’an,” who played a significant role primarily in the Warcraft comics but has since been removed from the canon by Blizzard.
Although Valeera works for Stormwind as a Blood Elf, she is neither directly part of the Alliance nor the Horde. She maintains her neutrality between the two factions, which often makes her a valued ambassador who exchanges messages between the two parties.
At present (Patch 11.1.0), Valeera is in Darnassus on Khaz Algar and is hiding with the other leaders of the Uncrowned in a secret room in the city – where she plays Hearthstone leisurely. This is a nod that she represents the rogue class in Hearthstone.
It is surely only a matter of time before Valeera re-emerges and must once again weigh whether she feels more obligated to her people or to Stormwind.
