Talonpriest Ishaal's first appearance in Wow was in Terokkar Forest of Outland, an evil member of the Sethekk Arakkoa in Skettis and objective of the old quest, Secrets of the Talonpriests.

Comment by watsonious

One of many followers capable of being your bodyguard on Draenor, once your barrack is level 2 or above. They do not go into instances/raids with you, making their perks obsolete in some enviroments.

Bodyguards also have their own reputation which currently gives 10 for every kill in your level range.

This reputation goes to 10.000, twice. Each time giving you a higher affection level, starting at 1. Level 2(Wingman) gives a combat ability for your follower, Level 3(Personal Wingman) gives you a perk, after completing a personal quest for the follower.

Ishaal joins you once you have completed all major questlines in the spires of Arak.

Ishaal's abilities:
Level 1: Mind Flay, Summon Shadowfiend
Level 2: Dot with Haste reduction.
After slaying a shadowmoon orc and taking her staff:
Level 3: Ishaal is now your personal mobile mailbox.

The bodyguards availiable for the Horde, and their perks are:
Vivianne: Portal: Garrison.
Aeda Brightdawn: Summon anywhere on Draenor.

The neutral bodyguards availiable to both factions are:
Talonpriest Ishaal: Mailbox anywhere on Draenor.
Tormmok: Repairs anywhere on Draenor
Leorajh: Mission table anywhere on Draenor.

When you have completed the achievement, go to Veil Terokk and hand in Talonpriest Ishaal to get the follower.

Comment by PayneAS

This is Horde side. Alliance side may have different options.

Stats at level 100:

97,854 HP.
Roughly 2k DPS that spikes up to around 4k when he casts Shadowfiend.
Rather low base armour making his overall survivability rather lacklustre.

Overall, his damage output almost certainly revolves around his Shadowfiend which seems to be on a 45s CD, he is also exceptionally squishy so you will have pay extra special attention to him.

Comment by Powerfool

As of 19.11.14 there is a bug with Talonpriest Ishaal which lets you use the level 3 perk (mail service), as long as he is fighting.I haven't tested it on any of the other Bodyguards, but have fun sending some mail out in the wild! :)

EDIT: My bad, you cant actually send anything. You still get the screen though, which is probably not intended.

Comment by mayabe

Very good companion for melee DPS. He just stays in the back and casts, he does not taunt your mobs away from you so you don't have to run after them all the time.

Here's a video on how to get him:

Comment by jimmypage

May be how to actually get him is clear to everyone. But I was going nuts trying to figure why I don't have him after completing the Achievement. Once you get the achievement, you have to go to 46,46 and actually talk to/take the quest from him to get the follower.

Take the Veil Terokk FP and look south to see the yellow exclamation mark.

Comment by Glandur

Tired of getting the chat box when you accidentally click the bodyguard ?
I made an addon called Bodyguard Away which disables that very chat box.
Press CTRL to get the chat box anyway, in case you need to send them home/interact with them.

Comment by Raquely

Once Ishaal is Epic gains Deadly Minions as a counter

Comment by swanhood

When your reputation reaches "Trusted Bodyguard" and "Personal Wingman" with him, he will provide you with quests on each reputation level which will unlock his second and third ability. You NEED TO BE 100 to be able get these quests.

Comment by Trollus

There is a little something you can see with Talonpriest Ishaal if you built a Lunarfall inn. If he sits down to eat like all other followers do, you notice he eats like a complete slob compared to the other followers. He vigorously eats with the food in his hands.

Comment by Henderman

God damn it Ishaal, get off my mailbox!

Comment by FagFairy

If you right-click on him whilst he's in combat your mailbox will open, even when he's still a bodyguard/trusted bodyguard
I'm guessing blizz will fix it soon
