Princess Tess Greymane (1126 F.A. - Present) is the daughter of King Genn Greymane, and with the death of her brother Liam is now the heir to the Kingdom of Gilneas. She nearly died in her infancy, but Greymane's royal alchemist Krennan Aranas made a timely alchemic breakthrough that saved her life.
Secretly, the Princess also serves as one of the high council members of a clandestine order of assassins, the Uncrowned.
History
After the Shattering destroyed the town of Duskhaven, Tess ventured up to her father's observatory with a single peacebloom flower. She reminded Genn how when she was a little girl, he told her to find one beautiful thing a day as it would make the hard times easier. Even among the ruined Gilneas, she was able to find an unharmed peacebloom, and it gave her hope.
During the exodus to Darnassus, Tess and her mother were aboard the Elune's Radiance while her father was on another ship. The fleet was hit by a powerful storm generated by the Cataclysm, and the ship started to sink. Having a leg broken during the storm, Mia could not move and Tess remained with her refusing to leave, so they both risked to drown. Genn, refusing to lose the last two members of his family, assumed the worgen form and joined the rescue efforts of the night elf sailors from his ship. After the storm, both the women reached Teldrassil safely. Tess has not appeared since, but it is possible that she followed her father to Stormwind City.

Tess' card from Hearthstone.
After the events of the Broken Shore, Tess was among the crew of the Skyfire that worked to transport injured personnel back to Stormwind. Accompanied by Lorna Crowley on a gryphon ride back to Stormwind Keep, the princess of Gilneas confided to her companion about her father's desire for vengeance and expressed her fears about his fury potentially consuming him, as well as the fates of the Gilneans who shared that rage.
Within Dalaran's covert Hall of Shadows, Tess is present among the notable figures that make up the rogue organization, The Uncrowned.
