While Vol'jin, as well as the other advisers, attempted to reason with Garrosh, he was too impulsive, arrogant, and hot-blooded to listen to them. In a heated exchange, after Garrosh killed Cairne Bloodhoof in Mak'gora, Vol'jin left the city of Orgrimmar with a single promise - if Garrosh continued to lead the Horde down a dark path, Vol'jin would take it upon himself to end his reign swiftly and silently. This came to a head during Garrosh's Pandaria campaign, where Vol'jin approached the Warchief with a final warning; bringing war to Pandaria's shores wouldn't unite the conquered under the Horde's banner, but make them turn against Garrosh, lest they be ruled by a tyrant. Garrosh responded by having an assassin attempt to slay Vol'jin.

-> ''"Live another day."''
-> '''Class''': Shaman
A very young Troll Shaman who goes without being named. His father, named Hekazi, fought alongside High Overlord Saurfang during the Third War. Although he shows promise in the Shamanistic arts, this young troll is but a boy, and the Siege of Lordaeron is the first battle he's actually participated in.
[[spoiler:When Saurfang is filled with despair and regret after the Burning of Teldrassil, a chance encounter with this young troll prevents him from committing suicide by combat. The young Shaman sees Saurfang as a massive inspiration due to the stories told by his father, but the Alliance's approach has him nervous. When Saurfang abandons the ramparts, the young Shaman follows him. Saurfang insists he go back, but the Shaman refuses. He gives Saurfang a token that the Orc attempted to dispose of, reminding him that the Horde is all they have. This inspires Saurfang to return to the Horde.]]

While Vol'jin, as well as the other advisers, attempted to reason with Garrosh, he was too impulsive, arrogant, and hot-blooded to listen to them. In a heated exchange, after Garrosh killed Cairne Bloodhoof in Mak'gora, Vol'jin left the city of Orgrimmar with a single promise - if Garrosh continued to lead the Horde down a dark path, Vol'jin would take it upon himself to end his reign swiftly and silently. This came to a head during Garrosh's Pandaria campaign, where Vol'jin approached the Warchief with a final warning; that bringing war to Pandaria's shores wouldn't unite the conquered under the Horde's banner, but make them turn against Garrosh, lest they be ruled by a tyrant. Garrosh responded by having an assassin attempt to slay Vol'jin.
