While Ner'zhul certainly enjoyed and craved a fair bit of power, it was
nothing in comparison to his apprentice, Gul'dan. Gul'dan was the one
who informed Kil'jaeden of Ner'zhul's impending treachery. This earned
him buy cheap wow gold Ner'zhul's wrath, and Kil'jaeden's favor -- the demon lord promptly
rewarded Gul'dan with a higher position, more power, and far, far more
prestige than Ner'zhul had ever possessed. Gul'dan was taught the ways
of warlock magic, bringing together other, like-minded orcs and
eventually forming the Shadow Council, a secretive sect of warlocks and
others that directly served the Burning Legion. He began to restructure
the orcish race and clan system, uniting them into the Horde that would,
one day, pour through the Dark Portal and wreak havoc on Azeroth. It
was the Shadow Council who quietly kept this new Horde a keenly honed
blade, pointed at the throats of the draenei on Draenor, and making sure
the orcs didn't deviate from their devotion to the Burning Legion's
tasks.
Gul'dan is perhaps the most evil villain in Warcraft, aside from members of the Burning Legion. He didn't do what he did out of some false assumption that the world or the orcish race would be better for his actions. He wasn't tricked into the job, an originally altruistic orc who'd just gotten into the wrong situation. He did it because he craved power, prestige, and he would do absolutely anything to get it. He knew full well what he was doing was evil, and he simply didn't care. He reveled in it. Later, after leading the orcish Horde through the Dark Portal into Azeroth, Gul'dan would then betray the Horde and take off for the Tomb of Sargeras -- not to help the Horde. Oh no. It was because the Tomb held all sorts of delightful untapped power, power that Gul'dan thought was rightfully his, and he wasn't coming back until he claimed his just reward.
He didn't end up coming back at all. Gul'dan met his end, torn to shreds by a horde of angry demons deep within the Tomb of Sargeras. But his actions, his depravity, and his willing embrace of all things evil set the path for the Old Horde to follow.
