Lor'themar Theron is the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas, leader of the blood elves on Azeroth in the absence of Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider. (Source)

The current regent began his career as the second-in-command of Sylvanas Windrunner in the Ranger Corps of Silvermoon. Along with Halduron Brightwing and others, Lor'themar was part of a group of Blood Elves who remained in Quel'Thelas after the fall of Silvermoon and the deaths of King Anasterian and the entire Convocation of Silvermoon. Following Sylvanas' death, Lor'themar took over as Ranger-General of the Ranger Corps of Silvermoon and was responsible for protecting Quel'Thalas from the Scourge before and during the re-founding of Silvermoon.

Not long after Lor'themar assumed temporary command of the Ranger Corps in Quel'Thelas, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider returned from Dalaran to proclaim the rebirth of the former High Elves as the blood elves, or Sin'dorei. Chosen as the new Regent of Silvermoon, Lor'themar was commanded to "safeguard the land and seek a cure for their people" while Kael'thas took a group of the blood elf forces to join the resistance in Lordaeron. To aid him in this task, Lor'themar chose Halduron Brightwing, a fellow ranger, to succeed him as Ranger-General of Silvermoon.

Approximately around this time, the traitor Dar'khan Drathir pursued Anveena, the current avatar of the Sunwell, into Quel'Thalas. Lor'themar and Halduron rallied the blood elves in alliance with the band of adventurers and Blue Dragons who had joined together to protect Anveena and threw back the Scourge. Sometime after, Grand Magister Rommath arrived as herald of the prince, bringing the message that Lor'themar was to prepare the blood elven people to come join their prince in the promised haven of Outland. (note: this information comes from the blood elves history page on WoW's official site, but much of the specifics of what happened are yet to be revealed in the forthcoming WoW Manga "Ghostlands.")

Lor'themar is one of the few blood elves who know that Anveena is the avatar of the Sunwell, and the effect that this new manifestation will have on the blood elves' future is unknown, given their overwhelming need for magical energy to fight their common addiction, and the potential alternative that Anveena represents to Prince Kael'thas's plans in Outland. However, he is unaware that Kael'thas has allied himself and the blood elves to Illidan's cause, whatever that may currently be. (Source)
