Overlord Krom'gar was the leader of the Horde forces in Stonetalon Mountains in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. His second in command was General Grebo. He oversaw the delivery of The Bomb into Stonetalon, and planned to expel the Alliance from Kalimdor, no matter the cost. He was directly responsible for the deaths of High Chieftain Cliffwalker's family. He was "dismissed" by Warchief Garrosh Hellscream because of his dishonorable tactics, such as the bombing of Thal'darah Grove, which ultimately led to a Pyrrhic victory and brought shame to the Horde. If players have not yet completed the questline, then they can see him residing at Krom'gar Fortress. He appears at Cliffwalker Post late in the chain.
Ironically, Garrosh himself later uses the exact same tactics, but on a far worse scale, on his attack on Theramore.
Personality
Krom'gar was an overzealous partisan and fiercely loyal, both to the Horde and Warchief Hellscream. This, coupled with his paranoia and lack of ethics, led to him mishandling his army in Stonetalon in pursuit of victory. However, Krom'gar was not evil, just misguided. He committed his war crimes because he thought he was doing what he must and only in the end, when he had fallen out of Hellscream's favor, did he realize the error of his ways. That said, Krom'gar was not without redeeming qualities. He incentivized his soldiers with rousing speeches and promotions if they performed well, and he inspired fierce loyalty in them. Though he cowered in the face of an enraged Hellscream, he stood defiantly in the face of the attack on Krom'gar Fortress.
