Stands in the central area of Shattrath underneath A'dal. Will give newcomers to the city a quest where an arcane elemental will lead you through the city and explain the history and layout.

In beta at least, he also gives you a choice of two quests to pick your alliegence to either the Aldor or Scryers with a rep bost/loss to go along with it.

Does anyone know which staff he's using? I've seen players use it

Khadgar is a human who is apprentice of Magus Medivh..

Garona is a half-orc who is the best friend of Khadgar in the past...when Khadgar was young, seventeen years old.

Magus Medivh is The Last Guardian of the Azeroth who rescued from demons and died by Khadgar's sword.

To get the tour quest from Khadgar, you must speak to the Haggard War Veteran at 59,40 in Shattrath. This will send you to A'dal. Talk to him, then Khadgar will tell you to leave him alone. Then you can get the tour quest from Khadgar, which allows you to build rep with Aldor/Scryer. Follow Khadgar's elemental servant around until you get a quest completion. No, you can't /follow.

What a pain that was to find...

Just a fun fact: Stormwind has a statue of Khadgar in the Valley of Heroes and on the plaque it says that he is now presumed deceased. Clearly not blizzard!

The herb Khadgar's Whisker derives its name from this character.

Comment by Raiking

So this is the guy that destroyed the dark portal (not the rift itself but the portal) in wc2 when you win the human campaign?

Comment by defektunge

Fun fact: Khadgar is human, but doesn't use the standard human model. In the game he uses what is allegedly the old human model from the WoW alpha.

David Blunkett, anyone?

Anyone else notice that Khadgar is the only character that had a unit pre-WC3 that hasn't been killed off or placed in a instance where people kill him?

Here is some Lore:
Khadgar is a human mage that was from a apprentice from Medvih. In the Warcraft book "Beyond the Dark portal" he had helped Alleria Windrunner and Turalyon stop Nerzhul from opening portals to other worlds in Outland. His job was to recover the skull of Gu'ldan from the dragon Deathwing, which he succedes in. Although Deathwing swore he will kill Khadgar one day, it has not occurred in Warcraft history......

There is no chin under Khadgar's beard, only a Pyroblast.

Comment by lordgreg

Actually, here's the thing that Khadgar helped (which is by far more superior if you ask me):

Medivh's nature was thoroughly changed after his coma, and his closest friends and relatives noticed something was wrong. Medivh's mother Aegwynn, now banished from the realm for her misdeeds against the Order of Tirisfal, had figured out what Sargeras had done to her, and got into contact with King Llane and his general, Lord Lothar. Lothar felt he had no choice but to destroy the corrupted Medivh in order to prevent the evil Guardian from doing any more damage to Azeroth. Medivh's apprentice, Khadgar, helped Lothar and an orcish emissary, Garona, infiltrate Medivh's dark tower, Karazhan. Despite his enormous power, Medivh was caught off his guard, and was in the end killed by his former friends and comrades in his underground sanctum.

Fun quotes to show his sense of humor:

"
“Are you alone?” repeated Khadgar, wondering if he would be reduced to speaking as Moroes spoke
in order to be understood. “Do you live here by yourself?”
“The Magus is here,” responded Moroes in a wheezing voice that sounded as faint and as fatal as grave
dust.
“Yes, of course,” said Khadgar.
“Wouldn’t be much point for you to be here if he wasn’t,” continued the steward. “Here, that is.”
Khadgar wondered if the old man’s voice sounded that way because it was not used that often.
“Of course,” agreed Khadgar. “Anyone else?”
“You, now,” continued Moroes. “More work to take care of two than one. Not that I was consulted.”
“So just you and the Wizard, then, normally?” said Khadgar, wondering if the steward had been hired
(or created) for his taciturn nature.
“And Cook,” said Moroes, “Though Cook doesn’t talk much. Thank you for asking, though.”
Khadgar tried to restrain himself from rolling his eyes, but failed. He hoped that the blinders on either
side of the steward’s face kept the servant from seeing his response."

"
At length, Medivh looked up, and the brewing storm was in his eyes again. “But what do you know
about me?”
“Nothing, sir,” said Khadgar.
“Nothing?” Medivh’s voice raised and seemed to reverberate across the observatory. “Nothing? You came all this way for nothing? You didn’t even bother to check? Perhaps I was just an excuse for your masters to get you out of their hair, hoping you’d die en route. It wouldn’t be the first time someone tried that.”
“There wasn’t that much to check. You haven’t done that much,” responded Khadgar hotly, then took a deep breath, realizing whom he was speaking with, and what he was saying. “I mean, not much that I could find out, I mean…”
"

"
Khadgar opened the text, and as he did so he felt something shift within the book, like a slider moving down a metal rod or a drop of mercury moving through a glass pipe. Something metallic unwound within the spine of the tome.
The book began to tick.
Quickly Khadgar closed the cover, and the book silenced itself with a sharp whirr and a snap, its
mechanism resetting. The young man delicately set the volume back on the table.
That was when he noticed the scorch marks on the chair he was using, and the floor beneath it.
“I can see why you go through so many assistants,” said Khadgar, slowly wandering through the room.
"

"
Khadgar didn’t hear him as much as felt his sudden presence, the way the air changes as a storm front bears across the farmland. The young mage turned in his chair and there was Medivh, his broad shoulders filling the doorway, his robes billowing behind him of their own volition.
“Sir, I…” started Khadgar, smiling and half-rising from his chair. Then he saw that the master mage’s hair was in disarray, and his lambent green eyes were wide and angry.
“Thief!” shouted Medivh, pointing at Khadgar. “Interloper!” The elder mage pointed at the younger and began to intone a string of alien syllables, words not crafted for the human throat.
Despite himself, Khadgar raised a hand and wove a symbol of protection in the air in front of him, but he
might as well have been making a rude hand gesture for all the effect it had on Medivh’s spell. A wall of
solidified air slammed into the younger man, bowling over both him and the chair he sat in. The grimoires
and primers went skating along the surface of the table like boats caught in a sudden squall, and the notes
danced away, spinning.
Surprised, Khadgar was driven back, slammed into one of the bookshelves behind him. The shelf itself
rocked from the force of the blow, and the youth was afraid it would topple, spoiling his hard work. The
bookcase held its position, though the pressure on Khadgar’s chest from the force of the attack
intensified.
“Who are you?” thundered Medivh. “What are you doing here?”

The young mage struggled against the weight on his chest and managed to speak, “Khadgar,” he gasped. “Assistant. Cleaning library. Your orders.” Part of his mind wondered if this was why Moroes spoke in such a shorthand fashion.
Medivh blinked at Khadgar’s words, and straightened like a man who had just been woken from a deep sleep. He twisted his hand slightly, and at once the wave of solidified air evaporated. Khadgar dropped to his knees, gasping for air.
Medivh crossed to him and helped him to his feet. “I am sorry, lad,” he began. “I had forgotten you
were still here. I assumed you were a thief.”
“A thief that insisted on leaving a room neater than he found it,” said Khadgar. It hurt a little when he
breathed.
"

"
“The Magus does not need an assistant,” muttered Khadgar, clearing a space at the end of one table and pulling out a chair. “He needs a housekeeper.” He shot a glance at the doorway to make sure that the castellan was well and truly gone."
"

A note worthy of mentioning, Khadgar was around seventeen of age when he became Medivh's apprentice, and judging by the Blizzard-set timeline, he must be-- 4 from Warcraft 3 to WoW, twenty-something from Warcraft I to Warcraft III...plus 3 years between Vanilla and Burning Crusade...plus 17 years since Khadgar was the Apprentice...

I would judge he is in his mid-thirties, although his appearance begs to differ.

How come he doesn't have more HP than a regular mob? It's Khadgar for crying out loud!

Comment by taurehe

When you talk to him, you can click on a speech bubble that says :I've only heard your name in whispers mage, who are you?" and he explains. How funny would it be if it said "I've only heared your name in whiskers mage, who are you?" lol XD

EDIT: this is relating to the Khadgar's Whisker herb

Comment by Thottbot

OMFG! <3 Khadgar ever since I read The Guardian by Jeff Grubb, great book. Anyways I'm glad Blizzard had the deceny to give him his own model but wtf is with the generic human voice. He deserves more!

Comment by Thottbot

Located 54,44 Shattrath City in the Terrace of Light right next to A'dal.

Comment by Thottbot

Does his face use a different model than regular humans? He looks distinct. Even other faction leaders have the same style as others, like Thrall for example.
