Mage hunters are former members of the Kirin Tor that have opted to side with the blue dragonflight in the hopes of retaining power or simply in order to protect Azeroth from the use of uncontrolled magic, sharing the azure dragon's point of view. Transformed and bolstered by Malygos, they are tasked with rooting out and, if necessary, destroying magical artifacts; killing or imprisoning individuals who practice magic without Malygos' permission; and aiding in the redirection of ley lines using massive constructs called surge needles.[1]
The mage hunters seem to not be a race, as Dragonblight Mage Hunters can be dragonspawn, drakonids, humans, blood elves, high elves or even trolls. There are Fel Hounds in the southern area of Desolace which are also named "Mage Hunter"
Main Location
The Mage Hunters have enstablished operations trough Northrend, they appear to operate mainly in Dragonblight and in Borean Tundra, but some blue dragons can be found in the Storm Peaks aswell.
Leaders
The Mage Hunters appears to have a ranked structure, the most important of them are:
- Mage-Lord Urom, a conjuror who protects the ley-line of Coldarra.
- Telestra, she appears to be an high-ranked member of the Mage Hunters, not only watching over Keristrasza, but even overseeing, from an image, at the Dragonglight's work.
- Magister Keldonus is a traitor to the Horde and now affiliates himself with the blue dragonflight. He is working on a ley-line in the Dragonblight and reports his work at Magus Telestra using a device.
- Mage-Commander Evenstar, a mage who has been killed by a group of water elementals.
- Inquisitor Salrand, she is the one who oversees the capture of the Kirin Tor.
- Goramosh is a dragonswpawn who has been tasked with seeing to the negotiations between the blue dragonflight and the Ethereum.
- Captain Emmy Malin, is an human who was captured by the armies of Malygos and forced to work for them under threat that her family would be harmed. She is ashamed of what she has done, and is actively sabotaging their operations.
- Lieutenant Ta'zinni is the leader of the mage hunters in the Lothalor Woodlands. He walks a circle around the Ley Line Focus. He is the brother of the mage trainer Deino.
- Inquisitor Caleras is a beryl mage hunter leading the beryl sorcerors in Coldarra.
Beryl Mage Hunters
The Beryl Mage Hunters may be a sub-type of mage hunters, possibly their name is a reference to the mineral named beryl, wich would explain why they wear dark clothes. They work in Borean Tundra and Coldarra, hinting that this type of Malygos's servants have particular tasks, different from the normal spellcaster, wich is used to have a more 'azure' color. Those tasks, as can be seen during the game, may involve capturing the Kirin Tor into magic prisons or interrogating the prisoners (suggested from their leaders, Inquisitor Caleras and Inquisitor Salrand). Some of them can be found building ley-lines from the stones of the Kalu'ak, they are led by Curator Insivius, a drakonid.
