Just going to make this clear Voss is A POP CULTURE REFERENCE to some magic card game (Lillian Vess). It would be like making John J. Keeshan (spelling) King of Stormwind.

It's real funny though, my sister has a friend who's named Lilian Voss for real :)

Obligatory disclosure: I've never played Forsaken (...or, well, any Horde beyond level 9).

/M:tG lore nerd

That being said, my initial reaction to finding out about Lilian Voss' existence was to say to myself, "...did somebody accidentally planeswalk onto Azeroth and get stuck? Or lose her spark?" From what I understand, though, Voss is nothing like Vess, personality-wise; whereas Liliana Vess is an amoral, ruthless black planeswalker who'd do anything and trick/murder/otherwise Do Bad Things in order to retain her eternal youth, Voss is just kind of this poor girl who got dealt a really shitty hand by fate, and has gone perhaps a bit overboard in exacting vengeance upon a cruel and dispassionate cosmos. The names are way too similar to not be an homage, I agree, but they don't seem terribly alike beyond that.

Ruthless,amoral, and Vengeful. Pretty much seals the deal.

She also has this little thing about hating the Forsaken so I don't think she'd volunteer to rule them
