He ' s gonna get charbroiled <| sep |> Because not only does he do tropes he makes his Mary Sue character insanely annoying . I love every scene in War of the Ancients that doesn ' t feature Rhonin , but seriously in day of the dragon Deathwing compares him to Medivh in power and cunning the fucking Guardian some nobody mage who is just known for being reckless is apparently Medivh level strength . He gets married to a windrunner sister and has twins something incredibly rare . He goes back in time to teach Night Elves how to properly Magic , and in combat is just as proficient as Elves in hand to hand combat . Rhonin reminds me of playing DnD when an old DM in high school built NPCs that solved all our parties problems and we were there only to fight fodder he was too lazy to blowup with a yawn , swoon over all the chicks he banged , and call him great . He wasn ' t a frequent DMBeyond that Knaaks great I Brox and Jarod are two of my favorite characters in WoW . And Knaak essentially fleshed out if not straight up created the Dragon Aspects . If he just stuck to established characters as the focus of his books and had originals been side characters he ' d probably beat Christie Golden as my favorite author
