Who was the leader of the horde?

The Horde, a major faction in the Warcraft universe, has had several leaders throughout its history, with the most recent one being a council of leaders from each race, as they decided that they no longer needed a single Warchief. The first Warchief of the Horde was Blackhand, who was chosen for his strength, but not his intelligence, and was essentially a figurehead for the real ruler of the Horde, Gul’dan.

History of the Horde Leadership

The Horde was created by Thrall, the son of Durotan and Draka, who was raised by Aedelas Blackmoore to be a slave gladiator and ultimately the head of an army of orcs to help Blackmoore conquer the human kingdoms of Azeroth.
