Story Role / Major Arcs

Westfall and Sentinel Hill

While inspecting Westfall's villages, Adona discovers a murdered farmer and recruits Alpha to investigate discreetly. When Alpha finds evidence linking the case to Farnan Farm, Adona entrusts the rest of the investigation to him and gives him a token for access to Sentinel Hill. 5

At Sentinel Hill, Adona accepts Alpha despite his worgen form and acts on his report that the Defias Brotherhood and Twilight's Hammer are operating in Westfall. 7 He sends Alpha to investigate Moonbrook, then uses intelligence from Alpha and Siso to prepare for the Defias assault on Sentinel Hill. 8 10

After Sentinel Hill survives the attack at severe cost, Adona supports Alpha's Moonbrook expedition and later arrives with reinforcements after the battle against Vanessa VanCleef's forces in the Deadmines. 11 12 21

Dauntless Fortress

Adona later reappears in Northrend as the commander-in-chief of Dauntless Fortress. He welcomes Alpha, listens to his account of the Ashenvale war and Deathwing's return, and agrees to help investigate Alpha's search for the Dragonflight. 46

During a renewed Scourge offensive, Adona provides Alpha with old journals that may contain dragon-related clues, coordinates the fortress's defenses, and supports Alpha's mission to destroy the Crypt Lords controlling the spider army. 47 48 49

After Alpha is critically injured by the explosions, Adona ensures he receives treatment, recognizes his exceptional recovery, and arranges supplies and patrol support for Alpha's journey toward Dragon-Shocking Mountain. 50
