Garona is a a legendary follower from the 6.1 part of the legendary questline.

She comes with 3 abilities by default, as well as the unique Master Assassin, which greatly increases success chance against all targets. She also starts off at ilvl 630, instead of ilvl 600 like every other level 100 follower.

The Abilities tab on the Related section shows the pool of abilities she can potentially get as an Assassination Rogue if you choose to reroll her abilities. Follower abilities are not totally random--each follower class and spec has a handful of abilities assigned to it.

Edit 2: Reposting the datamined legendary quest dialogue from the news post. Mouseover the black box below to see the text.

Come with me. This is exactly what I need to undo Gul'dan's hold on Garona.
We're using the tools of our enemy against them.
Not 'til my dying breath. I will end your torment, Garona.
Om na ka om, Fel na om kal...
Quickly, destroy that thing!
Awaken, Garona. You are free at last.
Come with me, Garona. Together we will plan for Gul'dan's downfall.
Archmage. That is dark magic you're working with.
You are using the tools of our enemy!
I don't like this.
Give me that orb, Khadgar. I will destroy that hideous thing.
%s gasps in pain.
Gul'dan... he's not in my head anymore...
I will do whatever it takes to stop Gul'dan. Wherever you lead, I will follow... commander!
I owe everything to you! To both of you!
Haven't you given up already, mage?
This is a fortified high-security bastion. Only a fool would go into there without an army.$b$bI mean... good luck, Champion.$b$b<Khadgar gives you a comforting pat on the shoulder.>

I was hoping for some unique follower abilities since she's legendary. Oh well.

Comment by Kikilicious

Aw, I really wanted Fiona (as a Horde player) because I liked how involved you are in that questline. Ah well.

Comment by Walterion

I think Garona herself deserves a unique special ability, considering how powerful she actually is.

EDIT: After further reading, there's a ''Master Assassin'' ability on the strings. It must be her actual unique ability.

Comment by nitrous

I can't wait to send her to do Clean the Latrine.

A Legendary follower with starting ilvl of 630 is little underwhelming. Considering most, if not all of our current followers will be 650+ by the time we get her, she should start at 650 or 655.

Edit:-
Why downvotes?
It really doesn't make any sense to give us a "Legendary" follower with ilvl of 630 when new Blackrock Foundry Garrison Missions require ilvl 660. And a follower's armor and weapons change to blue/rare color when each hit i630.

Already having upgrade tokens ready to upgrade her ilvl "after" we get her, misses the whole point of her being Legendary.

Comment by SykoSoul

I really hope she benefits from Ally of Argus and Child of Draenor.

Comment by Rankkor

Well..... Garona. I never saw this coming. But I'm keeping an open mind, because this aint over till the fat lady sings.

She could be just Red Herring to distract us from the real legendary follower. Remember Hogs? he was added too to distract us from the real rewards of the 10th anniversary of wow, complete with Feat of Strength saying he was the reward for the 10th anniversary. Turns out he was just a diversion.

Until I actually see people on the PTR getting her, I'm cautiously gonna take these news with a moderate amount of salt.

Comment by purpuragallus

I'm hoping she gets a unique model, NO female orc. I have enough.

Comment by Alcest

So does she have a randomly rolled third trait? I see three abilities, Epic Mount, Master Assassin, but no third trait, hmmm...

Comment by coolguyry

Before anyone asks regarding how this messes up the lore: This is AU (Alternate Universe) Garona, not MU (Main Universe) Garona whom Horde were most likely acquainted with in Twilight Highlands.

Now to clear the air on how you acquire her: It seems in the next step of the Legendary questline, after capturing Garona Khadgar has a plan to use her to track down Gul'dan (whom he had trouble finding during this quest) to finally dispatch of Gul'dan. Yet during this event Gul'dan (while being Gul'dan of course), will escape and in the process take control of Garona in which you will free her (judging by this text datamined from MMO-Champ) by gaining control of the Orb of Dominion and will then *hopefully* destroy it.

It should maybe play out like this:

*You, Khadgar, Cordana Felsong, and Garona arrive at a Shadow Council lair.*

Garona: This is a highly fortified high-security bastion. Only a fool would go in there without an army. I mean... good luck, Champion.

Cordana Felsong: I don't like this.

*You and your party enter the Shadow Council lair.*

*You come upon a chamber with the Orb of Dominion inside.*

Khadgar: Come with me. This is exactly what I need to undo Gul'dan's hold on Garona. <Khadgar gives you a comforting pat on the shoulder.>

Cordana Felsong. That is dark magic you're working with.

Khadgar: We're using the tools of our enemy against them.

Cordana Felsong: You are using the tools of our enemy!

*Garona most likely stabs you.

Insert you name here: gasps in pain.

*Garona then most likely attacks.*

Garona: Haven't you given up already, mage?

Khadgar: Not 'til my dying breath. I will end your torment, Garona.

Cordana Felsong: Quickly, destroy that thing!

*Khadgar begins an incantation.*

Khadgar: Om na ka om, Fel na om kal...

*A battle between you and Garona ensues. Cordana will most likely aid you. You are already defeated in battle until Khadgar completes his incantation and Garona is free from Gul'dan's mind control.*

Khadgar: Awaken, Garona. You are free at last.

Garona: Gul'dan... he's not in my head anymore...

I owe everything to you! To both of you!

Khadgar: Come with me, Garona. Together we will plan for Gul'dan's downfall.

Garona: I will do whatever it takes to stop Gul'dan. Wherever you lead, I will follow... commander!

*The quest ends and you are awarded with Garona, Master Assassin.*

Please note that this may NOT be the actual order of how the text is supposed to be, put in terms of how the events will play out this seems like the most likely scenario. Otherwise this seems like a really awesome epic event for a Legendary quest and I can't wait to play through it! /cheers

Comment by NeroRain

Well...didn't see this one coming. Was I the only one who thought that the legendary follower would be Hemet Nesingwary?

Comment by Kontwos

Another rogue legendary? Great. >.>

Verry few info about Garona:

Gul'dan forced one of his orcish warriors to make a baby with a dreinei, so Garona is a half Orc and half Dreinei creature.

Gul'dan had her magically aged and tortured, also placing controls on her mind later to ensure obedience, she was basically one of his assassins.

Her mothers brother (= uncle) is Maraad, who was looking for her for a long time.

She assassinated Llane Wrynn, who was the father of Varian Wrynn. During the encounter with Yogg-Saron, in one of the realms that we go (Stormwind throne room) we "witness" that assassination.

Later she was sent to kill Varian Wrynn, Anduin Wrynn and Thrall but the attack failed and Jaina Proudmoore catured her. Later Jaina and Aegwynn discovered the spell placed on her mind. She made a deal with Valeera Sanguinar, agreeing to give them the information they required if Valeera used it to go save her son from the Twilight Hammer clan.

I wonder if there's plans for her in game voice to be done by the actress who will be playing her in the live action movie.

Comment by mudplayerx

Garona is a murderous hooch.

Comment by Paddyjack

I will be very excited once every two weeks when a good mission finally shows up...

Comment by SampoEpicnezz

I really really hope those pictures are just temporary! :|

Comment by Voxxel

I can only hope Blizzard make a unique model for poor Garona this time. The cheap Orc reskin in either Ulduar / Org / TH / Talador distressed me greatly...

Comment by wowZhenek

Thats abit of a bummer that this has epic mount. All my stamina recruits go to waste with this. Nevertheless its not like I need this ^&*!@ anyway, I got 100% in all foundry missions according to my MasterPlanner addon.
