Varian Wrynn

King Varian Wrynn is the former ruler of the Kingdom of Stormwind, son of Llane Wrynn IV. Following his sudden and mysterious disappearance a few months ago, his 10-year-old son, Anduin Wrynn, was named ruler of Stormwind.

Currently Varian Wrynn is held capture in the basement cellers of Alcaz Island, just off the shore of Dustwallow Marsh. Alcaz Island is said to be guarded by Nagas, Sirenes and aquatic monstresses.

Born to King Llane, Varian was a young child when his father was assassinated during the First War. Anduin Lothar served as Lord Regent of Stormwind during the flight to Lordaeron; Varian may be one of the children with Lothar in the image of the exodus from Azeroth. Following the retaking of Stormwind during the Second War, Varian was instated as king when he reached the Age of Ascension, and served as the ruler of Stormwind during the rebuilding of the kingdom. He was one of the few rulers to provide continued support to the failing Alliance of Lordaeron following the end of the Second War.

Varian Wrynn was abducted by the Defias while travelling in secret to Theramore and was held captive for a time on Alcaz Island near Theramore Isle. His location at this time is unknown, although an investigation is being undertaken by high ranking human officials.

His name is thought to be a tribute to his grandmother Queen Varia.
