Illidan Stormrage is a central anti-hero from Blizzard's Warcraft series, first appearing in Warcraft III in 2002 and later as a major figure in World of Warcraft, especially The Burning Crusade and Legion expansions. Known as the Betrayer, his story centres on exile, imprisonment and pursuing power alone. Short voice lines from the character are widely clipped for soundboards and edits online, where this lonely declaration fits his established backstory and is reused for dramatic, ironic and meme reactions in gaming communities.
