He follows orders and implements tactics in a firm, professional manner, performing all duties as they should be done. The only emotion he feels is hate: he despises Sargeras with every ounce of his metallic blood. This rage could cloud his judgment and be his doom some day. |

| − | Aggramar's sword was once part of a larger weapon called [[Gorshalach]] ("Dark Render"), which was the most powerful weapon in the universe. Sargeras wielded the mighty blade until his fall, when the weapon, semi-sentient, sundered itself in two halves rather than remain in evil's grasp. All that was good and noble in Sargeras’ former greatsword was left in one half of the shatterbound sword. This half was useless to Sargeras, and remained on the battlefield where it was broken. Eventually Aggramar came into possession of the fragment and reforged the blade to wield as his own. Aggramar knows that if he ever unites his half, [[Taeshalach]] ("Flame Rend"), with Sargeras's half, [[Gorribal]] ("Dark Seether"), Gorshalach will be reborn. He desires this weapon greatly, but has not yet had the courage to confront Sargeras.<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pg. 173</ref> |

When the duration expires, Aggramar uses avatar and remains in melee, using his [[Epic Spellbreaker]] feat against spellcasters. He also favors [[Improved Awesome Blow]] and [[Moving Whirlwind Attack]] when the situation warrants. He alternates between avatar and storm, earth, and fire depending on the nature of his opponents.<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pg. 112</ref> |

Freyr is the nemesis of [[wikipedia:Surtr|Surtr]], who can be equated with Sargeras, and he (Freyr) the most powerful sword in Nordic mythology, which is also sentient like Taeshalach. Freyr's sword is one of a pair, meant to combat the sword of Surtr in Ragnarok, as Taeshalach is meant to combat Gorribal. |
