Around Azeroth: I've just seen a face

According to Lethia of Duskwood, she and some friends were hanging around in heroic Blood Furnace waiting for a replacement to get there when they started snooping through the fel orc paperwork. She found a wanted poster sitting on a table. This face looked very familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. So I asked the whole WOW Insider team what they thought. Possibilities brought up included:
- Guile from Street Fighter
- The Blood Elf Bandit
- Vash the Stampede from the anime series Trigun
- A very badly drawn Zul'jin
The mostly likely possibility would be Zul'jin, but why would the fel orcs in Outland be interested in a troll back in Azeroth? Is there a human somewhere dressed like this? Who do you think is in this picture? (A larger version can be found here.)
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. And remember, we're all full on sunsets! Too hot for the sun anyway.

That is most definitely the Humanoid Typhoon.

The hair is what sets it up as Vash to me

I'll have two options:
- It is Duke Nukem without a haircut.
- It is Johny Bravo without his glasses.
- Dad?

It's Solid Snake.

It has scars about the eyes and forehead, leading me to believe it is an undead of some sorts. It could be just an unnamed Forsaken that has been through the instance and has killed some higher-ups, or it could be an undead characters of some sorts on Outland...

No, it's a Defias Bandit. Those wanted posters are here and there.

I kind of figured that too, but why would a defiance wanted poster be in outland? In an orcish stronghold. Orcs don't give to shites about the defiance.
It's definatley human though (lack of point ears mean no elf or troll), some human rogue that the orcs want dead. My best guess? Either someone from Ravenholdt or the Syndicate, both have a history with the horde, well slightly. Syndicate used to be allied with the horde, till the horde betrayed them, and Garona Halforcen could be found in the Ravenholdt area during the original Beta, but is no longer there.
Thats my opinion.

Who says that the Fel Orcs are after the Defias Brotherhood, what if its more like they're in league with them? *cue dramatic music* DUM DUM DUUUUUMMM!

DEFIAS, not "defiance" and yes theres no reason for it to be there or have any deeper meaning other than an enviromental doodad

Not so much a Defias Bandit, but more of a Defias Ambusher.

I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na

It looks like Alf to me.
Stoneblade Jun 9th 2008 10:43AM
No, no, no...
It's clearly "Mort," from the "Bazooka Joe" comics.

Looks like a masked Vanilla Ice to me.
Splink Jun 9th 2008 10:53AM
It looks remarkably similar to the two defias bandits flanking Rhahk'Zor in the Deadmines.
