Overview

Mourgrim Morrivar is a human-born death knight of Lordaeron, younger brother of Cairden, former cursed worgen, champion of the Ebon Blade, and wielder of Shadowmourne. In life he was proud, volatile, and wounded by his rejection from the Silver Hand. In undeath he became cold, focused, and nearly emptied of the passions that once destroyed him. He is respected for ruthless clarity, feared for what he can do, and only partially reconciled to the living.
