Malanior Sunblood is a level 95 blood elf in service of the Quel'Thalas and the Horde.

Early Life
As a high elf, Malanior was once a talented magus who studied and lived in Dalaran under the banner of the Kirin Tor, alongside Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, Grand Magister Rommath and Jaina Proudmoore. His power was formidable enough to earn him the rank of archmage, a title shared by even some of the city's ruling council, though like most of the elves, Malanior was quick to return to his homeland after the Third War had reached its crux at Quel'Thalas. Following the Scourge attack, the death of the Anasterian Sunstrider, the annihilation of the Sunwell and the near-destruction of Quel'Thalas, Prince Kael'thas proclaimed the high elves reborn as "blood elves," in honor of those who had perished during the undead onslaught. Malanior was part of Kael'thas Sunstrider's company of powerful sin'dorei magisters who travelled to serve the New Alliance, though came under the bigoted scrutiny of a highly racist human commander. The elves were eventually sentenced to death on the grounds of treason within the Dungeons of Dalaran, though the imprisoned blood elves were freed by Lady Vashj. Rommath was personally disgusted by the apparent indifference the elves received from the surviving members of the Kirin Tor, who had allowed the likes of Garithos to unjustly slate the blood elves for an execution beneath the very city many of them had served as faithfully as they had Silvermoon. Rommath's bitterness towards them would not be softned, even several years later.[5] After Prince Kael'thas joined with Vashj's new master, Illidan Stormrage, Rommath travelled with the prince and his new allies into Outland, part of a contingent that included some of Quel'Thalas' most powerful individuals.[6] While Kael'thas sought to secure a new homeland for his people, the majority of them had remained behind on Azeroth.[7] Under the tutelage of Illidan, Kael'thas acquired radical new methods by which to sate the elves' ever-present magical addiction -- including the siphoning of magic from external sources, including demons. Heartened by their swift recovery, most of Kael'thas' group chose to stay in Outland and further their studies, but Rommath was sent back to Azeroth, bearing a message of hope for the blood elves still in Quel'Thalas. He relayed tales of a glorious promised land, spread the teachings of Illidan--teachings that Rommath smoothly attributed to Prince Kael'thas--and planted the notion that Kael'thas might one day return to lead his people to paradise.
