Ares Forge, The Barbarian King. Once a proud ruler of all the tribes in Tanaris, Ares lost his sister at the hands of the Forsaken, his people at the Broken isles, his wife to another man and his son, who has perished at birth. Now grown tired and violent of this world, The Barbarian King, claims that Tanaris is -his- Desert. and that none are allowed to go there.
