Prince '''Liam Greymane''' is a member of the Royal Family of Gilneas, and the son and heir of King [[Genn Greymane]].<ref>[[Quest:All Hell Breaks Loose]]</ref> He appears first in the [[Merchant Square]] of [[Gilneas City]], securing the perimeter and evacuating any remaining citizens.

Samuro was a skilled Orcish [[blademaster]], who once lived in a village with his brethren. Unfortunately for him, a bloodthirsty [[Wildkin]] known as [[Bloodbeak]] destroyed his village. With vengeance in mind, Samuro hunted [[Bloodbeak]] until he was finally met with success. [[Bloodbeak]] was slain, and Samuro could pay attention to his newly assigned task of sabotaging a [[Kul Tiras]] base camp near the coast.

However, he starts drinking to drown his regrets of preventing the loss of [[Gilneas City]], but when the [[Forsaken]] attack [[Gilneas]], he and his men fight back. The [[Shattering]] occurs as he starts to head towards the main [[Forsaken]] army, and therefore assists in the rescue of drowning soldiers and then evacuating [[Duskhaven]]. He travels to [[Stormglen]] with the other evacuees, but his stagecoach is attacked by [[ogre]]s before it can reach the village.

Samuro was successful in this as well, using stealth to place demolition charges near vital structures of the Kul Tiras base (likely [[Tiragarde Keep]] in World of Warcraft). With his mission accomplished, [[Rexxar]], [[Rokhan]] and [[Chen Stormstout]] could continue with a mission of their own, and Samuro was free to continue as he wished.

After the Gilneans unite due to the efforts of his father and [[Darius Crowley]], he sobers up and prepares to lead a counter attack against the Forsaken invaders. He leads his men in reclaiming the land in the Battle for Gilneas City, but is killed by [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] when he takes a poisoned arrow intended for Genn. He dies secure in the knowledge that the city had been retaken.
−
It seems that several years after the founding of Durotar, he teamed up with other members of the Horde, one from each race, including the newly inducted Blood Elves, to form the metal band, [[The Tauren Chieftains]]. They made their debut appearance at the [[Darkmoon Faire]] at [[Shattrath City]]. He is the [[Orc]] Vocalist.

{{Speculation}}

It is possible that Prince Liam Greymane was named after King Liam Trollbane. Seeing some xenophobic aspects of Genn Greymane, it seems unlikely, but it could be that Greymane does respect other kingdoms enough to praise former rulers. However, it seems more likely that both Liams were named after a king of Arathor with the same name.
  +
  +
It could also be that this is a common name among all humans because its meaning in the real world is ''Protection'' in the German variant, obviously a popular theme, and ''My People'' in the Hebrew variant, which is fitting name for a ruler.

Prince Liam Greymane is a member of the Royal Family of Gilneas, and the son and heir of King Genn Greymane.[1] He appears first in the Merchant Square of Gilneas City, securing the perimeter and evacuating any remaining citizens. Unfortunately, the worgen then start to attack, and Liam and his father escapes with the other Gilnean refugees to the village of Duskhaven.

However, he starts drinking to drown his regrets of preventing the loss of Gilneas City, but when the Forsaken attack Gilneas, he and his men fight back. The Shattering occurs as he starts to head towards the main Forsaken army, and therefore assists in the rescue of drowning soldiers and then evacuating Duskhaven. He travels to Stormglen with the other evacuees, but his stagecoach is attacked by ogres before it can reach the village.

After the Gilneans unite due to the efforts of his father and Darius Crowley, he sobers up and prepares to lead a counter attack against the Forsaken invaders. He leads his men in reclaiming the land in the Battle for Gilneas City, but is killed by Sylvanas Windrunner when he takes a poisoned arrow intended for Genn. He dies secure in the knowledge that the city had been retaken.

Trivia

  • The speech made by Liam before the battle in Gilneas City is reminiscent of Winston Churchill's speech in the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, during the Battle of Britain. Faced with overwhelming odds, Churchill vowed that "we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender".
  • In the beta, he used a Rough boomstick as gun, but in when the real game was launched it changed to a normal, gilnean rifle.

Speculation

Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

It is possible that Prince Liam Greymane was named after King Liam Trollbane. Seeing some xenophobic aspects of Genn Greymane, it seems unlikely, but it could be that Greymane does respect other kingdoms enough to praise former rulers. However, it seems more likely that both Liams were named after a king of Arathor with the same name.

It could also be that this is a common name among all humans because its meaning in the real world is Protection in the German variant, obviously a popular theme, and My People in the Hebrew variant, which is fitting name for a ruler.
