Sargeras is the creator and leader of the Burning Legion. Once one of the finest champions of the Pantheon, he was selected by his brothers and sisters among the Titan order to defend the worlds the titans had created from the evil machinations of many demonic races which had managed to cause no end of destruction on the pristine worlds the titan's had worked with. Sargeras, with his immense power and his fabled weapon Gorshalach slew countless demons and locked the surviving races away deep within the Twisting Nether.
Eventually, however, after slipping into a deep depression, the great titan would fall to the corruption that the demonic races radiated from within their very cores. Demons began to rally the demons under his banner, the banner of the Burning Legion, his goal being to unmake all order and balance, having been twisted into believing that it was the Titans themselves that had failed creation with their goal of an ordered and balanced universe. Now the titan's worst enemy, he has moved from world to world-destroying the work of his former brothers and sisters. However out of the countless worlds and races he has destroyed only one planet has managed to resist him and his Legion, that planet being Azeroth. Four times the Legion has attempted to invade and destroy all life on the planet and four times they have been beaten back by the native forces of Azeroth losing much of their own in the process.
During the assault on Antorus, the Burning Throne, Sargeras encroached upon Azeroth in the form of a burning cloud, growing actively closer during the attack. At its climax, with the corrupted titan Argus, the Unmaker put to rest, the Dark Titan threatened to consume Azeroth itself. The restored Pantheon, using their incredible strength, used a projection of arcane might to draw Sargeras out of his shroud.
Sargeras was then pulled away from the planet, but not before stabbing his blade, Gorribal, into Azeroth. Sargeras was imprisoned by the Pantheon within their seat, with Illidan Stormrage to serve as his jailer.
Following Sargeras' imprisonment, the Burning Legion was effectively dissolved.
