Korialstrasz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Korialstrasz, also known as Krasus, is a dragon mage appearing in Warcraft: Day of the Dragon and the Warcraft: War of the Ancients Trilogy. He is a dragon of the red flight and Alexstraza's consort; however in his human guise he is a respected wizard of the Kirin Tor.

In Day of the Dragon, he persuades Rhonin to attempt to free the dragon queen Alexstrasza from the captivity of the Blackrock Orcs. He intends on simply using Rhonin as a pawn to try to scare the orcs out of Grim Batol, but in the end Rhonin, Veressa Windrunner, and Falstad free Alexstrasza and drive the orcs from Grim Batol. Rhonin managed to destroy the Demon Soul and returned the power to four of the five aspects Nozdormu, Malygos, Ysera, and his beloved queen Alexstrasza.

In War of the Ancients he is contacted by Nozdormu (the dragon aspect of time) and receives an urgent message to travel to the mountains of Kalimdor. There he is sucked into a vortex that sends him back through time where the Night Elves first fight against the Burning Legion. He is unable to be a dragon. He is joined by the human Rhonin and the Orc Brox as they attempt to help the Night Elves defend against the Burning Legion. However Krasus hopes to avert the disaster that befell his kind with the betrayal of Neltharion, later known as Deathwing. They aid Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind and drive back the Burning Legion and restore peace to Azeroth. He gets transported back to his present time (thanks to Nozdormu) and tells Thrall about the legacy of Brox.
