Nethaera is a Blizzard employee and Community Manager (CM) for the US World of Warcraft forums. She is called Candle by some, after her forum avatar. According to a recent forum post, she is married.

Controversy

Her CM account, along with Drokthul's, was recently taken over (by presumably a keylogger) and forced to post links to keyloggers on the official WoW forums. [1]

Many posters later expressed concern over the security of their own accounts, noting that their accounts could be in serious jeopardy if Blizzard was unable to keep a high profile account such as that of a CM from being hacked.
