Belo'vir Salonar was the Grand Magister of Quel'Thalas, having been elected as such several years before the Third War. At the time of his death during the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas, he also represented his noble family at the Convocation of Silvermoon. His last act was saving the life of Lady Liadrin.
He was succeeded as grand magister by Archmage Rommath.
A renowned magus, Belo'vir, like Anasterian, was active during the Troll Wars. During this time, he created the [tone of Light, the Stone of Flame, and the Stone of Spark, all three of which were imbued by the power of the Sunwell.
He was an old friend of High Priest Vandellor, Lady Liadrin's mentor. The pair often attended ceremonies of rank progression, and took amusement in Liadrin's interest in Lor'themar Theron, though Belo'vir was more amused that his friend would encourage amorous behavior as Vandellor himself never had any interest in it. Liadrin thought the two behaved like an old married couple.
Belo'vir was elected as the Grand Magister of Quel'Thalas several years before the Third War. During the Scourge invasion, Belo'vir presided over the defense of Silvermoon City after the ranger-general, Sylvanas Windrunner, was slain in combat with the Scourge. He did not submit to Arthas' demand to open Silvermoon's gates and attempted to protect the city from the prince's siege, though each of his strategies to counter the undead enemies proved mostly futile. When the tide began to turn against the elves, Belo'vir instructed Rommath to evacuate the civilians and children from Silvermoon and to transport the soldiers to the Isle of Quel'Danas.
Under Belo'vir's command, the elven armies amassed on the shores of Quel'Danas and prepared to meet the Scourge once more. Belo'vir also rallied troops from the Sunwell Plateau and led them to battle, but he and his magi were unable to sufficiently damage Arthas' path of frost. During the fighting, Belo'vir was targeted by Arthas personally; Arthas mauled the grand magister, cast him down, and left him for dead.
Vandellor, who attempted to save him, was killed in the chaos, and Liadrin also rushed to the grand magister's aid. Belo'vir's last act was teleporting Liadrin to safety as the undead hordes converged on them. She was spared the sight of Belo'vir being viciously torn to pieces by the Scourge.
