Jarod Shadowsong (also known as "Commander Jarod Shadowsong") is the younger brother of Maiev Shadowsong, and was commander of the Kaldorei Resistance during the War of the Ancients. He becomes a hero and leader to the night elves following the war's conclusion, and is instrumental in easing tensions between his people and the Highborne. Strangely, he is rarely mentioned in the novels and only appears in Mount Hyjal in-game. His sudden disappearance was explained in the novel Wolfheart in which Jarod suddenly returns to Darnassus with his dying mate after ten millennia of life in the wild.
