Anduin Wrynn is the high king of stormwind and the alliance as a whole. He is the son of Varian and tiffin Wrynn. After his father's death at the battle of the broken shore, Anduin rose up to the throne, but did not believe he could be the king his father was. When players find his father's brass compass in the sea surrounding the broken shore, Anduin goes to the cathedral of light, believing the light will guide him, but he walks around stormwind with the player to see how his people see him as a king. After overhearing a conversation about him, he goes to the broken shore to see what kind of threat the burning legion proposes - resulting in him finding one of the halves of his father's blade in the process. After seeing a vison of Varian, telling him he must do, "What a king must do," Anduin accepted his fate as king and returned to stormwind, confident in his fate.

A mage of high degree, Jaina Proudmore is a close advisor to Anduin and also close friend to him. She is considered his "Aunt", but has a short temper, so after Varian's death at the broken shore, she believed the horde had betrayed them, when in truth the horde was overwhelmed by demons and was forced to retreat. She will do anything for the alliance and will be a close friend to Anduin forever, and even went to Kul Tiras, her homeland in an attempt to bring them back into the alliance. She is a member of the Kiran Tor an elite force of mages that protect dalaran, and held that role until her anger at the horde overwhelmed her. Resulting that Archmage Khadgar stepped up to the role of leader of the Kirin Tor. When she was reunited with her family in Kul Tiras, she was able to find herself.
