That's gotta be a joke-post, you first rage against Anduin being a Mary Sue and then suggest an idea that will definitely make him one....

One of the key things whether a character ends up Mary Sue or not is the execution of the idea, not just the actual idea. There's plenty of popular characters that, when distilled down to their components, wouldn't pass any Mary Sue Litmus tests, but when you place them in their world and give them decisions to make, end up perfectly fine characters.

Anduin in particular shone in the Shattering because, despite being a friggin multiclassing Prince, also was the audience stand-in, the person the reader could relate to.
