Uh oh… Rafaam spotted in game files

A while ago, a special character model was found in WoW Dragonflight’s Alpha Build 44649, which could now be clearly assigned to a super villain named Rafaam. Hearthstone players know what that could mean. And nothing good. It would be the first time that a major WoW character doesn’t come to Hearthstone, but vice versa.

For non-Hearthstone players, introduced as a villain in the Hearthstone Explorers’ League expansion, Rafaam is a master archaeologist who opposes Reno Jackson and the other members of the Explorers’ League. Using powerful artifacts, he summoned dark beings that threatened Azeroth. In the end, the somewhat clumsy super villain always fell victim to the power of the artifacts or was unable to use them properly.

What makes the Hearthstone character so interesting for Dragonflight now?

“A villain character with archeology skills. So what? What’s the fuss about?” Finding Rafaam’s character model in WoW is interesting (buy now ), for watching the Master Archaeologist’s next Hearthstone appearance. In the Year of the Dragon, in the Rise of Shadows expansion, he assembles a team of villains with the goal of summoning the dragon Galakrond. As a reminder, this is how the gigantic proto-drake is represented ->

Do you see the tiny dragons around Galakrond trying to fight him? These are the Dragon Aspects! Of WoWWiki: “Galakrond was a massive proto-dragon that tried to destroy the other proto-dragons. He was the reason why the titans gave the leaders of the other dragonflights the opportunity to join the five dragon aspects to become.”
