Neeru Fireblade has perhaps the most dangerous position of any Burning Blade member: He sits under Thrall’s nose in Orgrimmar, claiming to be a warlock who aids the orc leader, but really working to do the Burning Blade’s bidding right in the heart of the Horde. He leads the Burning Blade regiment that inhabits a cave complex just outside of Orgrimmar, and they work to watch the Horde’s movement — and see if Thrall plans to move against them before they have a sufficient defense.
Neeru is one of the youngest Burning Blade members, and still in his healthy prime — instead of corrupted and twisted by years of fel magic. Since he wasn’t in the First War, and only tasted the end of the Second War, Klass Metalfist doesn’t trust him as far as he could spit a dead rat. He put Neeru in charge of the orcs in Durotar, but there are a handful of warlocks who know they must watch Neeru in turn. Neeru is fed carefully modified information in case he does cave in to Thrall. If Klass has his ultimate wish, Thrall will swallow the misinformation, then kill Neeru as a traitor, fulfilling two goals.
As Neeru is not a warlock from the original Shadow Council, he isn’t a gnarled horror.Template:Cite
