The last of the Sunstrider dynasty, Kael'thas Sunstrider (often shortened to Kael) was the Prince of Quel'Thalas and a senior member of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran. After the death of his father, King Anasterian Sunstrider, and the destruction of most of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas led what remained of his people — first in the increasingly hostile Alliance, and then in the service of Illidan Stormrage — acting only for the benefit of his shattered homeland and its aggrieved people. Subsequent events led him to betray Illidan, his own people, and existence itself...giving himself willingly to the service of the Burning Legion and its lord, Kil'jaeden the Deceiver. After his attack against Silvermoon and the stealing of the naaru M'uru, Kael'thas became a reviled traitor. The Shattered Sun Offensive, an alliance of the Aldor and the Scryers, invaded the Isle of Quel'Danas, cornered Kael'thas in his last bastion, and finally destroyed him.
In both World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Kael'thas is voiced by Quinton Flynn.
