William Algorn

William Algorn was the King of Azeroth during the Forsaken War, reigning from 540 to his death in the year 602. Born the son of King Bernard Algorn and Queen Patricia of House Vayne, William was an only child with a hard upbringing thanks to his distant and uncaring father. This upbringing would result in him being very close with his mother and increasing relations with House Vayne, as well as shaping him into a brutal monarch; noted for crushing several attempts to destabilize the Algorn's rule over Azeroth and instituting several swift and severe purges of Azeroth's criminal underground.

The King is remembered as an uncompromising man and warrior, leading multiple Azerothian engagements against the Forsaken despite his age, but a controversial figure due to his bluntness and brutal responses to those that challenged his authority. Another severe controversy William sired was a supposed extramarital affair with his wife, Queen Lisa Rein, and the Quel'dorei Sindella Firelight, yet this was never proven. Accusations were abound at the time that William's son, Ranel, was in fact the child of himself and Sindella, but this was never proven.

William's personality was that of a blunt and seasoned politician and general, listening to arguments and ripping them apart slowly, piece by piece.

King William died in 602 at the age of 74 from heart failure.
