Genn Greymane


Lord Genn Greymane (sometimes spelled as "Graymane") is the king of the nation and kingdom of Gilneas.

 He is a large bearish man, with thick features, and a heavy beard, and black and gray armor.  He is a brawny warrior who must be in his seventies, and has ruled Gilneas for decades.

Genn Greymane will make his debut in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. He is one of the first people Worgen players meet when he saves the player from a executioner's blade by injecting them with a serum that gives them control of themselves. Genn himself, has also been affected by the curse, yet he prefers to remain in his human form most of the time.



After the fall of Gilneas, Genn can be found in Stormwind Keep, standing next to King Varian Wrynn.

The people of the Alliance remember the king of Gilneas as a proud, strong-willed, cunning, and arrogant man. He and his armies stood by the Alliance during the Second War, but in the aftermath it became clear to Genn Greymane that the Alliance needed Gilneas more than Gilneas needed the Alliance. He ordered that the Greymane Wall be closed to all outsiders, effectively sealing off his kingdom from the outside world and its conflicts.

But fate, it seems, was intent on teaching the king a lesson in humility: although the wall succeeded in isolating Gilneas from the rest of the world, it also served to damn the kingdom's people forever. As the worgen curse swept the nation and early attempts at containment failed, Greymane found himself fighting a battle for his people's very humanity
