Warcraft - Madivh

Played By: Ben Foster

In a world constantly threatened by demonic forces and influences, it fell to seven archmages – powerful spellcasters – to select one Guardian of Tirisfal, who would not only be trained and educated on nearly all knowledge of magic and demons, but be imbued with power from each of the archmages. Medivh, like his mother before him, was one such Guardian, charged to defend Azeroth wherever dark forces emerged. By the time the movie begins, Medivh has spent years isolated from his former friends – but its his origin in the Warcraft universe that’s the most interesting.

The story begins with his mother, Aegwynn, who managed to defeat the demonlord Sargeras – one of the demonic figures behind the massive plan to launch the Horde into Azeroth. But the defeat wasn’t quite what it seemed. Nevertheless, nobody looked too closely at Medivh once he showed the same powers as his mother – and while responsible for protecting Azeroth and the King of Stormwind, Medivh is most famous for his secrecy (his name literally means “keeper of secrets”).
