Simon Bale, also known as High Proctor Sesobael, is the founder and leader of the Poor Sages of Lordaeron, the scholarly group dedicated to educating the civilized peoples of Azeroth. He is a highly-educated demonologist who has earned much antagonism from the Burning Legion because of his exploits and knowledge of demonic weaknesses. He was last seen in a projected image sent from the far reaches of the Void, where he went to study a strange phoenomenon that had been afflicting his demon summoning abilities.
