With the foundation of Durotar, and the Horde capital of Orgrimmar, the Shattered Hand has become the Horde's clan of assassins, training new rogues in the service of their Warchief. The members of the Shattered Hand that remained in Azeroth became an integral part of Thrall's New Horde. Two factions of the Shattered Hand also exist, one based in Azeroth and loyal to Thrall and the New Horde, while the other is formed by corrupted fel orcs and is based in Outland. The Shattered Hand still plays a pivotal role today. He had enough power to take again the citadel for himself. Time passed and Kargath could not see why he had to keep his allegiance to Ner'zhul. Later, Kargath and his clan sailed for Garadar in order to recruit them. After a battle, the Alliance eventually took the citadel and Kargath left with his orcs. If he survived, they could find him in the Black Temple. When Nerz'hul had Eye of Dalaran and Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras in his hand, he left the citadel, ordering to Shattered Hand to delay the alliance.
He stayed at the side of Ner'zhul along with Kilrogg in Hellfire Citadel. When Ner'zhul called the clan's chiefs to join him, only Kargath and Grommash answered it. Later, the clan was present at Throne of Kil'jaeden when Gul'dan proposed to the orcs to drink the Blood of Mannoroth. The clan was present when Ner'zhul announced the Draenei as the enemies of the orcs. This moment marked the birth of the Shattered Hand clan. Kargath showed the severed head of the emperor to his followers, and they raised their severed hands, armed with blades, cheering at him. They followed Kargath in his uprising against the ogres and helped him slay the emperor. The other orc slaves, seeing his resolve, followed in his footsteps and did the same. Kargath was thrown into a dungeon beneath the arena, and in a desperate bid to escape he severed his hand, which had been bound by shackles, in frustration and rage. Having won every battle against his opponents, Kargath marched out of Highmaul, only to discover the promise of freedom to be a lie.
Like his compatriots, Kargath fought in the arena for his freedom as well. The price each gladiator had to pay for their own freedom was to take one hundred orcish lives while fighting in the arena. Striving for his own freedom, Kargath became a gladiator fighting in the Highmaul arena. They were imprisoned and held beneath Highmaul for many years. These orcs, including Kargath, were raised as slaves by the ogres of the Gorian Empire. When Draenor was destroyed, a part of his clan was stranded along with the Bleeding Hollow and Warsong clans. Upon the return of the Bleeding Hollow clan from Azeroth, Kargath volunteered his clan to make war against the humans. Led by Kargath Bladefist, the Shattered Hand remained on Draenor while the majority of the orcish clans, led by Blackhand, traveled through the Dark Portal into Azeroth. The Shattered Hand clan was named for the practice of self-mutilation that every grunt in the clan must perform.
