Glenn Stafford composed the orchestral-style music for many of Blizzard Entertainment's video games, including three Warcraft games and StarCraft, as well as the Super Nintendo games Blackthorne, Justice League Task Force and Death and Return of Superman. Besides this, he performed voice work for characters in Warcraft II, III, StarCraft (which he also directed), Diablo, and World of Warcraft.
From an interview:
"I've been here at Blizzard over seven years now, and I'm the director of the audio department. I started with the company in their infancy, when they were developing Super Nintendo titles for Interplay, so I worked on a fair amount of console games before we started the Warcraft, Diablo or Starcraft series'. My time is divided here between composition, sound design, and surround mixing for cinematics, in addition to the management responsibilities.
My training has included classical and contemporary styles, as well as electronic composition and engineering, the best of which I received at the Dick Grove school of music in Studio City, CA.
I've been playing music ever since I can remember. My father started teaching me piano at age four, and I obviously must have showed some interest.

Judge Syed Nisar Hussain served as the Secretary for Land and Revenue in the State of Jammu & Kashmir during the reign of Maharaja Hari Singh and his son Karan Singh. He was born in Jalandhar, Punjab. He settled in Kashmir and married his distant relative. After partition in 1947, he was invited by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his political aides to the newly-formed state of Pakistan to serve as one of many governors. But he politely declined the offer citing personal reasons. After retirement, he went to great lengths to discover his family tree. As a Syed, he could trace his roots back to the Prophet Muhammad. Hussain also discovered his great-grandfather was the Governor of Ladakh and was later betrayed by British dipomat Sir Thomas Douglas Forsyth. He died in 1975 and was survived by his wife and five children (one boy and four daughters).
