Medivh is a fictional character in the Warcraft universe — a fictional universe in which a series of games and books are set. He was the last of an order known as the Guardians of Tirisfal of the World of Azeroth. "Medivh" means "keeper of secrets" in the Quel'dorei (High Elven) tongue. Medivh was the successor of the previous guardian Aegwynn.

Backstory

Medivh is the son of the great sorceress and Guardian, Aegwynn, and the court conjuror and king's advisor, Nielas Aran. Unknowingly, Aegwynn had passed the spirit of Sargeras on to Medivh before he was even born.

Medivh aged to be a strong boy and, because of his Tirisfalin blood, a gifted magician. He was well liked by the people of Azeroth and enjoyed adventuring with his two friends: Llane, the prince of Azeroth, and Anduin Lothar, one of the last descendents of the Arathi bloodline.

At the age of fourteen, the latent powers of the Guardian became active, and clashed with the spirit of Sargeras, still within Medivh, causing the young boy to fall into a comatose state. Upon his awakening many years later, he found himself to have reached adulthood and to have become a very powerful mage. He also found that his friends, Llane and Lothar, had become the regents of Azeroth. Despite the power of the Guardian, Sargeras's spirit, still residing within Medivh, slowly took control of Medivh's actions, eventually leading up to the opening of the Dark Portal with the help of Gul'dan and the bringing forth of the Orcs from Draenor into Azeroth. Sargeras' power grew so strong in Medivh, that he actually challenged and defeated his mother Aegwynn.

For the next six years, skirmishes between the Humans and the Orcs broke out in and around the Kingdom of Azeroth. Learning that Medivh was responsible for the Dark Portal, Sir Lothar, putting aside old friendships for his duty as the lieutenant-at-arms of King Llane, stormed Medivh's stronghold of Karazhan with the help of Medivh's apprentice, Khadgar. Ultimately, Medivh's body was destroyed, but because of his death, Sargeras's spirit was cast into the abyss while the virtuous spirit of Medivh was allowed to live on, wandering the astral plane. Moments before his death, Gul'dan created a telepathic link into Medivh's mind to try and figure out the location of the Tomb of Sargeras. Medivh's death caused a mental backlash that put Gul'dan in a coma for a while.

Years later, Medivh was reborn, free of the spirit of Sargeras, and strived to warn the mortal races of the upcoming onslaught of demons. He first reached the visionary leader Thrall of the Horde, under the guise of a mysterious prophet, and convinced him that only sailing to Kalimdor, the land in the west, will ensure their survival.

He then approached the stubborn humans of Lordaeron, still disguised as the prophet, and gave warnings of the mighty disaster that is about to come. No one heeded Medivh, save for Jaina Proudmoore, who was at that time a mage in training by the Kirin Tor, the daughter of Admiral Proudmoore, one of the commanders in the Second War of the Alliance against the bloodthirsty Horde. She travelled to Kalimdor with her human expedition and met the orcs led by Thrall. As usual the two factions clashed until they realized that Medivh had brought them together for a purpose.
