Warcraft - Durotan

Played By: Toby Kebbell

As Chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan, a role that he took over from his father before him, Durotan is basically the orc hero (or, frankly, just plain hero) of the Warcraft film. While the movie picks up after the clan is inducted into the First Horde, it was Durotan’s leadership which saw his people refuse the Fel – a dark magic dispensed by the great shaman Gul’dan. Honoring the old ways and viewing this magic with suspicion, Durotan accompanies the first soldiers through the Great Portal to Azeroth, but does so with doubt.

In the larger Warcraft universe, Durotan actually stayed out of the First War between men and orc, reemerging to warn his best friend, Orgrim Doomhammer of Gul’dan’s malicious and deceitful ways. He may be just one of the key players in the film, but his legacy echoes decades through the extended universe.
