Wow, this guy actually has a back-story. He's in the book "Of Blood & Honor".
The ambitious paladin who served under Tirion Fordring at Mardenholde Keep, Barthilas' parents were murdered in the Second War and he was ordained a paladin just as the war was ending. Vexed at not being able to avenge his parents firsthand, Barthilas had cultivated a festering hatred of all orcs as a young man.
When Tirion was found attacked, Barthilas immediately assumed that it had been an orc, and began to scour the countryside for a force of them.
After Barthilas discovered that Tirion had protected the orc, he oversaw every stage of the paladin's degradation. After Tirion was exiled, Barthilas made every effort to ensure that the orc, Eitrigg, was humiliated and brutalized during his execution, and was horrified when the orc was saved.
Barthilas begrudgingly assumed his new position as head of Mardenholde.
Apparently, that didn't last long.
Tirion can be found between West and East Plaguelands, north along the river that divides the two. Eitrigg can be found in Thrall's chamber in Orgrimmar.
