As wielders of light, World of Warcraft paladins are a force to be reckoned with. These Light-wielding warriors of justice are trained to uphold the values of compassion, holiness, retribution, justice, and protection.
Many paladins have become synonymous with unwavering faith and selfless devotion. But it’s not always the paladin goodness that gives them so much power.As long as the paladins believe their cause is right, they can be formidable.
Ten Lady Liadrin
Liadrin is known as the matriarch of the Paladin Order of the Blood Elves, the Blood Knights. But she didn’t start out as a paladin. She was once a Priestess of Light, but when the undead invaded Quell’thalas, home of the Blood Elves, she lost her faith after the Light failed to protect her people from the undead.
She chose to undergo martial arts training in Ghostland and eventually became a skilled warrior. When the elves captured Naaru, Liadrin agreed to siphon its holy energy and become warriors with the power of Light, eventually founding the Blood Knights. Regretting what he did, he used that power to reignite Sunwell and support people through his addiction to magic.
9 Lothracion
Lothraxion is one of the most unique paladins. He is the Nathrezim Dreadlord, who once swore to his Legion Burning. After being defeated by the Void Aetherial Locus Walker, he found a new purpose.
The Dreadlord was infused with Light and rose through the ranks to become Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Light. With thousands of years of experience and a helping hand in imprisoning Sargeras, he is undoubtedly one of the most powerful paladins we know.
8 Scarf
Mallards have been servants of the light for thousands of years. He has fought Azeroth’s greatest foes, including the Burning Legion and his Orcs of Draenor. In Draenor he was unable to protect his people from the orc hordes. He chose to take revenge rather than protect refugees fleeing Shatras.
Seeing the horrors of war, Mallard vowed to do all he could to prevent further suffering. During the Warlords of Draenor expansion, Maraad died in the alternate universe of Draenor where he protected Yrel and countless others. Despite his past failures, he kept his vow to protect people and dedicated his life to the light.
7 Alexandros Molgrain
Former wielder of the undead-killing sword “Ashbringer”. Alexander was one of the most famous of the Paladins of the Alliance, and fought valiantly against the Orc invasion of Azeroth. He was one of the first paladins of the Order of the Silver Hand and successfully defended his homeland from the undead.
He became so problematic that Kel’Thuzad sent the Dreadlords to deal with him. They had to corrupt his son Renault and set a trap for Alexander in Strathorm. Surrounded by the undead, he single-handedly destroyed them, only to be defeated by his son’s betrayal when he stabbed him in the back with the Ashbringer.
6 Bolver Fordragon
A paladin’s will is one of their greatest strengths, and Bolvar Fordragon is one of the best examples of it. As a Paladin, he was a respected member of the Alliance and became the leader of Stormwind during the King’s absence.When scourge was raging across Azeroth, he defended his stronghold and Icecrown his Citadel. led a campaign to the gates of
Bolver nearly died in Rathgate when the villainous Forsaken launched a surprise attack with a deadly plague. Bolver was saved by the flames of the Red Dragonflight, but was still captured by the Lich King. He eventually became the new Lich King, staying atop the Citadel and sacrificing himself to prevent a scourge from destroying Azeroth.
Five Arthas Menethil
Arthas was once a prince of Lordaeron, heir to the throne of his father. He held great promise as a paladin and trained as a member of the Order of the Silver Hand. He was blessed by some of the Order’s greatest paladins, including Tyrion Fordring and his Uther the Lightbringer. He was an excellent warrior and has proven his skills against the undead, trolls and orcs.
However, despite his training, Arthas was unable to put aside his arrogance and lust for violence. This eventually led to his depravity, resulting in him acting as a Death Knight. Despite his destiny, Arthas was a fine paladin for his age and may have become one of Azeroth’s greatest leaders.
Four Irel
You may remember first meeting her on Draenar, where she was a slave. Irel didn’t stand out at first. However, as the story of the Draenar warlord continued, she became more prominent. Irel fought orcs and ogres and braved the ferocious Black Hand. During this altercation, she lost her mentor, Mallard. Since then, she wielded his hammer in his memory.
Years later, Yrel essentially conquered Draenor, turning its inhabitants into servants of the Light. Lightbound expanded its influence, and those who refused to serve the Light were forced to do so. His ascension from slave to planetary leader is a testament to his Yrel will and leadership as one of the most powerful Paladins.
3 Lightbringer’s Uzel
Uther was the first Paladin to join the Order of the Silver Hand, and has been a role model for all Paladins ever since. Over the years, he battled hordes of orcs, successfully combining the power of the Light with prowess. Uther became a beacon of hope for the Alliance and became known as Lightbringer.
After the scourge began to defile Azeroth, Uther fought to the death to protect the urn of former king Terenas Menethil from his son Arthas. Although Uther died at the hands of his beloved apprentice, he remains one of the Alliance’s most respected leaders.

Tyrion lived a reclusive life for some time before purifying the corrupted Ashbringer and becoming leader of the Argent Crusade. When all hope was lost, he single-handedly defeated the Lich King and crushed Frostmourne with the Ashbringer. Tyrion was later captured and tortured by the Legion, surviving only on his faith for a short time and appointing Ashbringer’s new wielder.His devotion, compassion, and honor made him one of the greatest Paladins of his time. It made me stronger as a person.
1 Tralion
Turarion was a priest before becoming a famous Paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand. He was one of his five Paladins originally selected by Alonsus Faor. He was also chosen to be Sir Anduin Lothar’s lieutenant. When Lotor fell in battle with the orcs, Trallion took Lotor’s broken sword and led the alliance to victory. He captured the leader of the horde and drove the orcs back to Darkhis portal.
After the war, Turarion led Lothor’s sons on an expedition against Draenar, severing ties between Draenor and Azeroth. During the journey, he was cut off from Azeroth when they destroyed a portal in Dark him. Accepting their fate was worth saving their home world. Turarion said that while Draenor was destroyed, he passed through a rift where he joined the Army of Light. He spent his next 500 years fighting demons and was empowered by Naal and made immortal.
