Founded by the titan Sargeras, the Burning Legion includes many demonic races, the most prominent of which include the Man'ari Eredar (such as Archimonde and Kil'jaeden), Nathrezim (or Dreadlords, such as Varimathras) and Annihilan (such as Mannoroth).
The Burning Legion is notorious for its conquering and eventual destruction of entire worlds. So far the Burning Legion has committed three major attacks on Azeroth, the first one was against the night elves in the War Of The Ancients and the second was the invasion of orcs during the First and Second Wars while the third was when the Undead Scourge summoned Archimonde into the world along with demonic agents of the Legion to destroy Azeroth and steal the energies of the World Tree. The first attack was led by Archimonde and his lieutenant Mannoroth.
After being defeated in the War Of The Ancients the main aim of the Burning Legion has been towards destroying Azeroth through mortal pawns such as the orcs and the Scourge. One of them was Sargeras hiding his essence in Aegwynn, a guardian of Tirisfal and later possessing her son Medivh. While being possessed by Sargeras, Medivh opened the Dark Portal that led the orcs into Azeroth for the first time. No one knows what happened to Sargeras after Medivh died.
The Third War was spearheaded by Kil'jaedan's pet the Lich King (Ner'zhul) who destroyed the Kingdom of Lordaeron and shattered the Human Alliance, which paved the way for the summoning of Archimonde at Dalaran and the Legion invasion that finished off at the Battle Of Mount Hyjal. There the joined forces of humans, orcs and night elves defeated the Burning Legion with the death of Archimonde. The most noticeable agents of the Burning Legion are Mannoroth, the brothers, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden of the Eredar, the Dread Lords of the Nathrezim and previously Ner'zhul, the warlock of the shadow council and now the dreaded Lich King.
After the Third War the Legion has tried to destroy the Frozen Throne and kill Ner'zhul to eliminate the Scourge threat due to the Lich King's defection from the Legion. Their first attempt was through Illidan Stormrage who tried to use the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the Frozen Throne through massive seismic tremors. The attempt failed however as night elves led by Illidan's brother Malfurion Stormrage and Maiev Shadowsong arrived and disrupted the casting. Illidan then fled to Outland (the remains of the world of Draenor) to escape Kil'jaedan's wrath.
