To win the Stonemaul ogres, the half-breed ran their brutal gauntlet and survived. Then he challenged their tyrant warlord, Kor'gall, with his beasts at his side.
Kor'gall fell, and the Stonemaul ogres bowed before their new chieftain: Rexxar. On Draenor, his people, the mok'nathal, were born of orc and ogre blood.
His father, Leoroxx, broke his chains and strangled the ogre master who enslaved them. When the Horde came, young Rexxar convinced Warchief Blackhand to spare his people.
never forgave his son for choosing the Horde over his own blood. At the dying Dark Portal, a wounded warlock drained Rexxar's life with one touch.
His black wolf Haratha shoved the warlock away, and crumbled into dust. Rexxar's axes fell on both sides of the warlock's head.
Grom wanted only conquest. Rexxar left the Horde, trusting nothing but beasts. In the ruins of Feralas, he found a bear cub beside her dead mother.
Both were alone. He took her with him, and named her Misha. Years later in the Barrens, he fought quilboar to save a dying orc, Mogrin.
Dying, Mogrin begged him to carry one last message to Warchief Thrall. When humans razed an orc outpost, Rexxar burned their coastal camp to ashes.
On the Echo Isles, Vol'jin turned him into a spirit wyvern to sink the fleet. Then he lit the signal pyres guarded by the Sea King himself.
Beside Jaina Proudmoore, he cut through the naga of Lady Darkscale. At Tidefury Cove, Thrall named Rexxar Champion of the Horde. He led the Horde against Admiral Proudmoore, all the way to Theramore.
On the docks, the champion faced the Lord Admiral himself. Proudmoore fell. Rexxar told Jaina to remember her father as a proud warrior.
Refusing Orgrimmar, he left once more for the wild with Misha. In Outland's Blade's Edge, Bladespire ogres ambushed him and captured his wyvern Leokk.
With new allies, he freed Leokk and found what remained of the mok'nathal. Years later on Kul Tiras, an Azerite war machine stormed toward him.
Lieutenant Cole fought him blade to blade, and died with honor. In Stormsong Valley, his wolf Huelo fell, and Rexxar ended his pain.
At the Kosh'harg, father and son finally found each other again. Exile, champion, beastmaster: Rexxar never stood alone. His beasts were always with him.
