Anduin Wrynn

Anduin Llane Wrynn is a fictional character in Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft media franchise. He first appeared as a non-player character in the original release of World of Warcraft in 2004. The son of Tiffin and Varian Wrynn, Anduin is initially depicted as the child ruler of the human kingdom of Stormwind during his father's disappearance. Following Varian's return, he develops into a priest and diplomat whose preference for reconciliation frequently places him at odds with his father's militarism. After Varian's death in World of Warcraft: Legion, Anduin succeeds him as king of Stormwind and assumes leadership of the Alliance.

Anduin subsequently becomes a central character in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and World of Warcraft: The War Within. Outside the main game, he appears as the default Priest hero in Hearthstone and as a playable healer in Heroes of the Storm. He is voiced by Josh Keaton.

Critical commentary has focused on Anduin's empathy, religious vocation and commitment to peace, particularly as a contrast to Varian's warrior identity. Later coverage has examined his suitability as a political leader, his vulnerability to manipulation, and the treatment of his psychological trauma following Shadowlands.
