A bombshell. This was truly a bombshell. Neptulon the Tidehunter had just dropped a revelation so explosive that even Rex was caught off guard. To him, the news was utterly shocking.
Rex instinctively reached up and gently stroked his chin. He was no longer young, nearly thirty now, and stiff bristles already covered his chin. He stroked his beard as he tried to absorb the shock.

Anger erupted in Rex's heart. How dared he?
Who was Kel'Thuzad? The greatest traitor in human history. Countless humans had died because of him. In Rex's eyes, no one would surpass Kel'Thuzad as history's foremost traitor for hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of years to come.
