Dialogue

Before match

Illidan Stormrage (present): I learned the ways of the demons and gained their trust. But when the time was right, I returned to my loathsome brother. I needed his power to help me close the portal forever.

Illidan Stormrage: That was your master's mistake, not mine.

Emote Response

Mannoroth: The master will teach you fear.

Hero Power

Mannoroth: Fall before me!; None refuse Sargeras!; Useless rabble!; (dark laughter)

Idle

Mannoroth: If the fight fails, the drinks are on me.; When Sargeras walks here, your kind will crawl like worms.; Your destiny is to be forgotten.

Turn 1

Malfurion Stormrage: Much has separated us, but now we fight as one.
Illidan Stormrage: The things I do for victory.; Malfurion summons Treant

Turn 2

Illidan Stormrage: I hardly even need your help, brother.
Malfurion Stormrage: I wish that were true.; Malfurion casts Landscaping

Turn 3

Malfurion Stormrage: I hardly know you anymore, Illidan. So much rage in your heart.
Illidan Stormrage: It was always there. You never looked.; Malfurion casts Force of Nature

End of boss' turn 4

Mannoroth: Your gifts are wasted on this!
Illidan Stormrage: I've heard that one before.

End of boss' turn 5

Mannoroth: A demon hunter cannot surpass a demon!
Illidan Stormrage: Lies.

End of boss' turn 6

Mannoroth: The portal is almost complete! The master approaches!

Victory

Illidan Stormrage: The portal is imploding, taking the demons with it! Everything went as planned!
Malfurion Stormrage: But you did not tell us all of your plan, brother...
Illidan Stormrage: I secretly saved a vial from the Well of Eternity. You wouldn't understand. You aren't a mage!
Malfurion Stormrage: As long as it exists, we cannot be safe from the demons. You have gone too far, brother.
Mannoroth: (roar)

Lore

This section uses content from Wowpedia.

Mannoroth was the barbaric leader of the pit lords when Kil'jaeden recruited them. When Archimonde was placed in command of the pit lords, he recognized Mannoroth's value as a brutal, bloodthirsty fighter and made the pit lord his second-in-command. Mannoroth helped lead the Burning Legion in assaults on countless worlds, and led the first invasion of Azeroth. His ruthlessness and vile cunning made him into one of the favoured lieutenants of his masters, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, the champions of the Burning Legion. He is known as "the Destructor" and "the Flayer".

Trivia

Mannoroth was first mentioned in Pit Lord's flavor text alongside fellow annihilan Magtheridon, before both coincidentally made their first official appearances in Hearthstone in Ashes of Outland.
