Nexus-King Salhadaar
Il Re del Nexus Salhadaar è un ex sovrano degli Eterei di K’aresh, il cui pianeta natale fu distrutto da Dimensius l’All-Devouring. Guida l’Ethereum, una setta di Eterei rinnegati situata a Landa Fatua (Netherstorm), spinto dal desiderio di sconfiggere Dimensius e il Vuoto, anche se ciò significa trasformarsi essi stessi in creature del Vuoto. Salhadaar fu sconfitto dai giocatori a Landa Fatua, ma la sua storia lascia intendere un possibile ritorno in futuri sviluppi narrativi di World of Warcraft.
