Kael’Thas Sunstrider Graces Heroes of the Storm

Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, best known as the end boss in World of Warcraft's Tempest Keep, is the latest character to join Heroes of the Storm's ever growing roster of warriors.

The former leader of the Blood Elves retains his signature flashy appearance and is certain to offer a number of cool skins. The character is prolific in the use of fire spells, as depicted in the GIF animation just tweeted by the official Heroes of the Storm account. The character was first revealed at PAX East 2014, but little else has been shown about him since then.

We don't know when the character will be playable, but with the game set to launch into open beta on May 19th, there's a good reason to believe he'll be available during launch or shortly thereafter.
