Blackthorn was a ruthless Bandit Lord commanding a sizable force of thieves and assassins. He was established in the Tirisfal Glades and, unluckily, got involved in the conflict between the Dreadlord Varimathras and Sylvanas Windrunner.
Sylvanas, lacking sizeable forces, used one of her banshees to possess Blackthorn, who then commanded his bandits to serve Sylvanas. Thus Sylvanas bolstered her forces against her temporary enemy, Varimathras.[1]

The current fate of Blackthorn and that of his bandits is unknown as he does not appear in World of Warcraft. It is considered that Blackthorn was killed in the battle with the Dreadlords, and his remaining bandits dispersed into the wilderness.
