- "¿Tu sangre puede expiar el genocidio, orco? Tu Horda mató a innumerables inocentes cuando atravesó Stormwind y Lordaeron arrasándolos. ¿De verdad crees que puedes borrar todo eso y olvidar tu culpa tan fácilmente? No, los de tu raza no cambiareis nunca y yo jamás dejaré de combatir contra vosotros." - Gran Almirante Proudmoore
Daelin Proudmoore fue el "Almirante"[2][3] y rey de Kul Tiras.[4][5] Como "Gran Almirante" de la Alianza, fue el comandante supremo de las fuerzas navales de la Alianza durante la Segunda Guerra. Fue un acérrimo enemigo de la Horda, rehusando a creer que alguna vez cambiarían. Cegado por su odio, murió a manos de Rexxar.
Biografía
Segunda Guerra
Proudmoore lideró la nación isla de Kul Tiras durante la Segunda Guerra y fue Kul Tiras la que financió gran parte de la armada de la Alianza. Tras la Primera Guerra, los orcos atacaron los asentamientos costeros de Kul Tiras y las costas de Lordaeron y Khaz Modan. Con su viejo amigo Anduin Lothar a su lado, Proudmoore nunca abandonó una batalla.
Ya nombrado Señor de todas las flotas de la Alianza, Proudmoore lideró un ataque naval a los orcos que acabó con sus fuerza en tierra, mar y aire, mientras administraban las refinerías de petróleo en Stratholme, que proporcionaban recursos para la marina. Perdió a su primogénito, Derek, y todos los miembros a bordo de los seis barcos de la Tercera Flota quienes fueron atacados por dragones.[3][6]
Proudmoore stayed beside King Terenas through the political turmoil that followed the Second War, even when he opted to have the orcs put into internment camps. His daughter, Jaina, became involved with Terenas' son, Arthas, but their affair was ended when she chose to focus on her studies of magic.
Proudmoore also had a second daughter outside of his marriage when he had an affair with an elven sorceress named Kilnar Goldensword. The daughter, Finnall, was not made publicly known.
Aftermath of the Third War
Daelin in Warcraft III.
Proudmoore remained a close ally of Lordaeron for many years, with Jaina studying in Dalaran under Antonidas himself. He was crushed and horrified to hear the news that Lordaeron was destroyed by the demonic invasion. When he searched Lordaeron for survivors, he found nothing but legions of undead and demons, and few survivors. Grand Admiral Proudmoore is one of the people responsible for the breakdown of Horde-Alliance relations after the fall of the Burning Legion. In the aftermath of the Third War Daelin departed from Kul Tiras, leaving his son Tandred behind, taking a large part of the Kul Tiras fleet and sailing across the Great Sea to Kalimdor, in order to search for his daughter and the survivors that fled there after Lordaeron fell to the Scourge. Though Jaina Proudmoore had managed to earn Warchief Thrall's trust, Daelin felt that he had to crush the Horde before they gained a foothold in this "new land" and became too powerful to defeat.
He began raiding the coast and assaulting the orcish settlement, but when they began to fight back, he withdrew and retreated to the island citadel of Theramore which he discovered Jaina had established. When he arrived, he was overjoyed to find her alive, but found her keeping some strange company: Rexxar the Mok'Nathal, Rokhan the Darkspear troll and Chen Stormstout, all allies of the Horde, were with her. Proudmoore immediately demanded that they all be arrested, but Jaina retreated and helped Rexxar and his friends escape.

Unwilling to allow Jaina any explanation, Proudmoore usurped control over Theramore and used it as the staging ground for his newest campaign to have his vengeance on the orcs, but he was beaten back by their numerous allies, and was forced to retreat back to Theramore. But Thrall and Rexxar knew that Proudmoore would never stop harassing their people while he still drew breath. Proudmoore established a naval blockade around Theramore Isle to prevent the Horde from launching a counterattack. What the Admiral didn't count on was his own daughter siding against him. Jaina realized that her father was trapped in the past and that his vendetta against the orcs would only lead to more needless death and destruction for both sides. She approached Thrall and informed him of a goblin shipyard that housed juggernauts capable of breaking the Admiral's blockade. Rexxar liberated the shipyard and used the juggernauts to sink the six powerful battleships protecting Theramore.
The Horde then laid siege to Theramore and battled their way to his keep, where Rexxar squared off against the Admiral himself. Thrall tried to reason with Admiral Proudmoore, telling him that the Horde was no longer the same enemy he had fought so many years ago. Proudmoore, however, refused to believe that the orcs could ever change and launched himself into battle. After an arduous fight, Daelin Proudmoore, victim of his own hatred, was slain by Rexxar. With his death, the battle ceased. Jaina knelt at the body of her prideful father and mournfully asked why he didn't listen. Rexxar told Jaina to remember her father for the proud warrior he was.

Admiral Proudmoore was succeeded as head of the Proudmoore family by his children, Jaina and Tandred. Proudmoore's second-in-command, Lieutenant Benedict, took command of Tiragarde Keep in Durotar to maintain a human presence in orcish lands, while Lieutenant Alverold continues his exploratory mission.
