Maiev

Betrayer's Jailor

"She has become vengeance itself, bound forever to the hunt. I only pray that in her zeal, she doesn't cause even more havoc than Illidan." (Malfurion Stormrage on Maiev and her hunt for Illidan.)

Priestess, warrior, warden and hunter. 10,000 years ago, Maiev Shadowsong volunteered to become Illidan's jailer after he attacked her brother and several other elves right after he created a new Well of Eternity. With unshakable determination and ever so wary of her prisoner, Maiev kept constant watch. When the High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind freed him, no one was more determined to recapture him. Despite her crusade through the Outland costing the life of all her followers, with the aid of the Broken Leader Akama and several adventurers.
Maiev was finally prepared to seal Illidan and his demonic followers. Now, with all of Azeroth in danger, perhaps these followers might be able to do some good...

Gameplay

When playing as Maiev, it is absolutely necessary to balance between gaining Vengeance and avoiding death.
Make sure to unleash Fan of Blades when enemies are nearby and hide and blink to escape when the situation gets ugly.
Shadow strike is great for slowing weakened enemies and giving your team more time to finish them off.
Ultravision can be essential in finding weakened enemies and their locations, share these locations with your group to finish them off or stage ambushes.
Avatar of Vengeance is perfect for diversions and saving your teammates, using it correctly can change the entire match on your favor.

Skins

Warning the skin paintings/drawings were found online, though I made the descriptions

High Priestess MaievWhen the previous priestess died in the War of the Ancients and Tyrande took the role of the Betrayer's Warden, Maiev gained the title she always deserved, noble or not, she'd lead her priestess and help Archdruid Illidan to protect Azeroth...

Demon Huntress
Maiev with a warglaive, short horns, demonic wings replacing her cape, a cloth covering her eyes, no helmet and hooves.
In her hunt for the Betrayer, Maiev took drastic actions, many said she was similar to him. Well, it takes a demon to kill one...

RoboWardenAfter her clash with Illidan, Maiev barely escaped, but danced in the edge of life and death. Thankfully, the gnomes knew what to do...
