After seeing that there's a quest where you have to get his hand you can say that his situation...

*put sunglasses on*

Got out of his hand.

But seriously: I'm looking forward to fight with him. He looks like Deathwin in orc-mode.

Blackhand the Destroyer was the Warchief of the First and Second Hordes in the main Timeline. Born into the Blackrock Clan, Blackhand became known as a ruthless warrior and a complete Despot. By the time Telkar Doomhammer died, his son Orgrim had gained power in the Thunderlord Clan, leaving a vacuum that Blackhand was glad to take. As Chieftain of the Blackrock on Draenor, Blackhand slaughtered many ogres and orcs who defied him. When Gul'Dan issued a call to war against the Draenei, he used Blackhand's monstrous power his voice, bringing many clans under one united banner; the Horde.
Blackhand became Warchief, but was manipulated by Gul'Dan throughout the war. After the Horde defeated the Draenei, it fell into war between the clans and was shattered, until Gul'Dan and his Shadow Council created the Dark Portal. Blackhand led his and five other clans into Azeroth and began his conquest of the Kingdom of Azeroth (Stormwind). Blackhand himself stormed the Dark Iron Dwarf city in what is now Blackrock Spire and created his capital of Hordemar. Later in the war, after a series of military blunders and a large hole in his personal guard, his liuetenant, Orgrim Doomhammer, took to his master and murdered him, ending regime of a brutal Dictator.
Blackhand's legacy lived on in his sons, Rend and Maim. The two broke away from the Blackrock Clan and formed the Black Tooth Grin Clan from those loyal to their fathers name. The Black Tooth Grin Clan is most known for attacking the Kingdom of Stromguarde in the Second War, along with hunting down Gul'Dan and Cho'Gall when they left for the Tomb of Sargeras. After the Horde's defeat, Rend and Maim waged war with the Dark Iron Dwarves in the Depths, where Rend was killed by an enemy soldier.

Lore about him from manga comics:
Blackhand once visited the Frostwolf Village only to witness a large fire. Blackhand saw Draka hardly able to lift a bucket of water, and he took it as a sign of weakness on the part of the Frostwolf Clan. He told that if such a frail child had been born in Blackrock Clan they would have killed her. Because of this, Garad exiled Kelkar, Zuura, and Draka to the outskirts of the village.

Blackhand, a brutal tyrant, was the first Warchief of the Horde until the end of the First War.

Rise of the Horde:
As all the chieftains, Blackhand was present during a Kosh'harg festival in Nagrand. Later on he went to a meeting to Oshu'gun, where Ner'zhul told them that draenei are their enemies. After this, Blackhand then started to attack draenei hunters.
A Raider of the Sythegore Arm, and one of the most respected warriors in the Horde, Blackhand became the renowned chieftain of the powerful Blackrock clan on Draenor. Known as a tactical genius and a ruthless dictator who demanded respect from his warriors, his ego and lust for power made him very easy to manipulate — a fact which Gul'dan discovered very quickly. Through political manipulation and by stoking the embers of Blackhand's ego, Gul'dan was able to convince the Blackrock chieftain that he was a respected equal in the warlock's dark scheme, both the public leader of the Horde and a member of the secret Shadow Council; he was in fact merely a means to an end for the evil warlock.
Blackhand eagerly offered all of his shamans, cut off by the spirits for waging their demon-incited war against the draenei, to become the first Horde warlocks. In order to increase the number of warriors the Horde would be able to field against the draenei, Blackhand even had his own children's ages accelerated, making them battle-ready. With popular support — no doubt manipulated by Gul'dan — Blackhand was elected Warchief of the newly-formed Horde, but kept in line with Gul'dan's objectives through subtle bribery and outright blackmail. Commanding from the Hellfire Citadel, Blackhand directed the later campaigns against the draenei, including the invasion of Shattrath City.

The Last Guardian
Leading the Horde through the Dark Portal after defeating the draenei, Blackhand conducted the entire war effort against the Kingdom of Stormwind in what became known as the First War. Though Stormwind eventually fell, Blackhand was left vulnerable when Gul'dan fell into a coma after attempting to steal information pertaining to the Tomb of Sargeras from the mind of Medivh. Seizing the opportunity provided by the powerful warlock's incapacitation, Blackhand's second-in-command, Orgrim Doomhammer — later known as the Backstabber for the deed he was about to commit — decided to seize power from the puppet Warchief, hoping he could lead his wayward people from the path they had taken. Leading loyalist troops in a surprise attack, Doomhammer defeated Blackhand and cut his head from his shoulders, becoming both Warchief and Chieftain of the Blackrock.

So, if Blackhand is in charge of supplying the Iron Horde with weapons, armor and all their other knick-knacks, that means he has to have some knowledge of blacksmithing.

If he has blacksmithing knowledge, that means he has to work with ore.

Does that make Blackhand...

... The Orelord of Draenor?

Please don't hurt me ._.
