One looks just like Thrall, but the other two seem pretty vague… a paladin and some sort of demonic rogue looking thing (maybe an Orc)?

Does anyone know who the three characters in all the BlizzCon announcement graphics are (see posting earlier this week)? One looks just like Thrall, but the other two seem pretty vague… a paladin and some sort of demonic rogue looking thing (maybe an Orc)?

Great question! I love answering questions that move beyond the glitz and glamour and delve deeper into things. The image in question is pictured at the top of this article for those that missed our BlizzCon 2009 announcement earlier in the week. Each of the characters represents one of Blizzard’s different major franchises: Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft.
The left hand guy is Thrall, as you mentioned. Thrall is the Warchief of the Horde, Liberator of the Orcs, Lord of the Clans, Son of Durotan and Ruler of Durotar. He’s a bad ass dude.
In the center sits Tyreal, from the Diablo series. He is Archangel of Justice, member of the Angiris Council. He’s a bad ass dude.
On the right is Zeratul, a member of the Protoss race from StarCraft. He’s a Dark Templar that likes to go around and assassinate people. And while Kerrigan played him like a tool, he too is a bad ass dude.
The links above will take you to wiki entries on each of the characters if you want to know more about them.
