===Third War===
  +
{{Graphic novel}}
  +
  +
Koltira's first encounter with the [[death night]] [[Thassarian]] was during the defense of [[Quel'thalas]] against the impending [[Quel'Thalas#The Fall of Quel'Thalas|Scourge invasion]], where he was defending [[An'owyn]] with his brother [[Faltora]] and the high elf [[Merriel]]. Merriel was quickly slain and Faltora charged Thassarian directly, only to quickly beaten. Koltira noticed however, that Thassarian hesitated in killing him. While attempting to flee, Faltora was killed by an [[abomination]], but Koltira managed to escape.
  +
  +
Several hours later, Koltira followed and ambushed Thassarian. Feeling the conflict inside Thassarian, he offered Thassarian the choice to turn away from the Scourge and join him. Thassarian refused but spared his life until the next time they meet. The next day, the [[Elfgate]]s failed and the Scourge entered [[Silvermoon]] where Koltira and Thassarian continued their duel. Thassarian emerged victorious and took Koltira's life. Koltira was then raised as another death knight of the Scourge. Despite being his murderer, Thassarian and Koltira developed a bond during their service under Arthas and came to see each other as brothers.

{{wotlk-section}}
  +
Years later, Koltira and Thassarian were ordered by the [[Lich King]] to join [[Highlord Darion Mograine]]'s forces in crushing the [[Argent Dawn]] at [[Light's Hope Chapel]]. At the close of the [[Battle for Light's Hope Chapel]], in a confrontation with the Lich King, [[Tirion Fordring]] cleansed the [[Ashbringer]] freed the Knights of the Ebon Blade from the Scourge. Koltira and Thassrian parted ways, with Thassarian joining the [[Alliance]] and Koltira unable to decide if he should join the majority of his people, now the [[blood elves]], in the Horde, or follow Thassarian into the Alliance. After Thassarian told him to go with his people, Koltira decided to join the Horde, enlisting at [[Agmar's Hammer]]. Even so, the two are still like brothers, and Thassarian said that if Koltira ever asked him for help, he would help him.

The Alliance and Forsaken are fighting over control of Andorhal and the remaining Scourge presence there. Koltira as a member of the Horde decides to help out his [[Forsaken]] allies. The Alliance, led by Thassarian, have taken control of the western portion of the town while the Eastern Horde, led by Koltira Deathweaver, have taken control of the eastern portion.<ref>{{ref web|url=http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17178-cataclysm-lore-details/|title=Cataclysm Lore Details - World of Raids Forums|accessdaymonth=5 July|accessyear=2010}}</ref> Over the course of the [[Battle for Andorhal]], Koltira sends Horde heroes to deal with the remaining Scourge forces and, after defeating them, Thassarian and Koltira enter a truce. Despite this apparent ceasefire however, the Alliance forces attack the Forsaken. Koltira begins to fend the Alliance forces off, and instructs the player to locate [[Lindsay Ravensun]], whose input Koltira had been somewhat dismissive of earlier.
  +
  +
Upon meeting Ravensun, it is revealed that she is, in fact, none other than the [[Dark Lady]] herself in disguise. She sends Horde agents and [[Val'kyr]] to assault the Alliance forces and turn the battle around. After the Alliance is defeated, Sylvanas confronts Koltira about the truce with Thassarian, and scolds him for being weak. A portal to the Undercity is opened and Koltira is pulled through by a hooked chain, where Sylvanas will attempt to purge him of his compassion for Thassarian and make him more of a servant of the Horde - more specifically, a servant of Sylvanas and the Forsaken.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsw78wHlhrE&feature=channel </ref>
