Marshal McBride

Marshal Douglas McBride is a human quest giver located in Northshire Valley in Elwynn Forest. He is a marshal of the Stormwind Army who acts as the commander of Northshire Abbey's garrison and is in charge of the defense of the valley. In particular, he was concerned about the kobolds that have infested the woods in Northshire Valley and moved into Echo Ridge Mine. He began sending recruits to get rid of the vermin.

During the Elemental Invasion, Worried Citizens often mentioned speaking with Marshal McBride about not letting them in to Stormwind City.

Since the Cataclysm, however, he has had to deal with a full-fledged invasion by Blackrock clan orcs that have gained entry into the once secluded Northshire Valley through a passage in the mountains opened by the Shattering.
