The second Warchief of the Horde, Doomhammer was originally the second-in-command of his chieftain and the previous leader, Blackhand. Doomhammer was among the only orc leaders who didn't drink demon blood during the corruption of his people, at the insistence of his good friend Durotan (the father of Thrall). After the First War and the original fall of Stormwind, Doomhammer was visited by the then-exiled Durotan, who wanted to steer the orcs to a better future, but was assassinated by Blackhand's sons. Doomhammer reacted by challenging the Warchief to single battle and killing him, thus becoming the chief himself.

  • The second Warchief of the Horde, Doomhammer was originally the second-in-command of his chieftain and the previous leader, Blackhand. Doomhammer was among the only orc leaders who didn't drink demon blood during the corruption of his people, at the insistence of his good friend Durotan (the father of Thrall). After the First War and the original fall of Stormwind, Doomhammer was visited by the then-exiled Durotan, who wanted to steer the orcs to a better future, but was assassinated by Blackhand's sons. Doomhammer reacted by challenging the Warchief to single battle and killing him, thus becoming the chief himself. In the ensuing Second War, Doomhammer led the Horde to take over Azeroth, knowing that their defiled homeworld of Draenor would never support their numbers anymore. He recruited allies such as forest trolls, ogres and goblins to match the might of the newly formed Alliance. After a long and bloody war, he was able to defeat the humans' Grand Marshal, Anduin Lothar, in battle, but was captured. While being hauled off to Lordaeron for a trial, Doomhammer escaped. After years of hiding and running, the exiled Warchief met a young kid named Thrall, who showed optimism and idealism about the future of orckind. Together the two planned to free their people from the internment camps of the Alliance, and Doomhammer took the mantle of Warchief once again. During one skirmish, Doomhammer was run through from behind by a human lancer, and with his last words named Thrall the next Warchief. Tropes associated with Doomhammer: * Ancestral Weapon: The Doomhammer. * The Atoner: His role after he lost the war. * Badass Normal: He didn't even drink demon blood, and yet stands out as one of the greatest orc warriors of the first two wars. * Cool Old Guy: In Lord of the Clans. * Drop the Hammer:He isn't called Doomhammer for no reason. * The Horde: He led the Horde when it was still this trope. * Obi Wan: To Thrall. * Old Soldier * Player Character: Doomhammer is the player in Warcraft I, for the orc campaign.
