Cairne Bloodhoof

Cairne Bloodhoof is the leader of the Tauren race in the Warcraft universe. A mighty warrior, he is responsible for uniting the Tauren tribes (including the Bloodhoof, the Grimtotem, and the Runetotem) to fight against the Centaur, their ancestral enemy, and to join Thrall, Warchief of the Horde. Ancient even by Tauren standards (at least 99 years old), it is assumed that he is training his son, Baine Bloodhoof, to one day take his place.

Cairne is a playable hero in Warcraft III and an NPC in World of Warcraft.
