Summary
Joric Hughes is a Death Knight of the Ebon Blade with close ties to the Silver Hand. He became a Knight of Andorhal after the Second War. During the Third War, he was killed and raised as a Death Knight by a Necromancer. He fought in the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel after which he gained his freedom.

The Second War
Joric was born in Lordaeron on a farm near Andorhal. He joined the militia when the Alliance of Lordaeron was founded, and defended his homeland against the Orcish Horde. He fought and defeated Gatkuda, a feared and respected Dragonmaw Orc, at his family's farm. After the war, he was knighted for his accomplishments.

Death and Rebirth
Having been in Capital City when Andorhal fell to the Scourge, Joric was spared from the initial bloodbath. He returned to his hometown with members of the Silver Hand to repel the undead, but he was killed by a Necromancer and raised as a Death Knight.

Battle for Light's Hope Chapel
Joric accompanied Darion Mograine and the Death Knights of Acherus in the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel, where he fought a young Paladin named Oliver Landen. After the Lich King was driven off and the purified Ashbringer was in the hands of Tirion Fordring, Joric joined the rest of the Death Knights in freedom from their former master.

Northrend Campaign
Joric joined the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Argent Crusade in the fight against the Lich King, ultimately defeating him. He fought alongside Oliver Landen, the Paladin he had faced at the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel. The two had great respect for each other despite previously being enemies.

Return to Andorhal
After the Shattering, Joric was told by Darion Mograine that the Necromancer that killed him was now a Lich and was leading the undead in Andorhal. Upon arriving he found soldiers of the Horde and Alliance battle for control of the town, as well as trying to keep the Scourge at bay.

Ignoring the fight between the two factions, Joric fought through the waves of undead in a path directly towards the Lich. Joric defeated him, trapping his soul inside of a phylactery. He brought the phylactery back to Acherus and resurrected the Lich to be his servant.
