Sen'jin is a fictional character in the Warcraft Universe belonging to the Troll race.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Being a prominent witch doctor, he was the leader of the Darkspear Tribe until his untimely death. Hostile humans and Murlocs disturbed the Darkspear trolls on their native island, causing many trolls to hide in shame because they were not powerful enough to take on both enemies. However, Sen'jin foresaw the coming of Thrall, leader of the Orcish Horde, and thus knew they would soon have allies to help them defeat the dangers that stalked their island.

One day, Thrall and his Horde did arrive after being stuck in a storm. The Orcs found the Darkspear trolls to be quite friendly, unlike their forest cousins. Sen'jin ordered his headhunters to assist Thrall in eridicating the humans who colonized the island. But once the humans were repelled, the Murlocs captured Sen'jin as well as a portion of the island trolls. Sen'jin died in captivity, but he foresaw that the Trolls would be saved. In his dying moments, he pledged the loyalty of his tribe to Thrall and the Horde.

After Sen'jin's death and the battles that ensued, the Trolls followed the Orcs to Kalimdor under the command of Vol'jin, Sen'jins apprentice and son. Because of this, Trolls and Orcs are allied in World of Warcraft. Also, a troll village in southeast Durotar is named Sen'jin Village as a reminder of his sacrifice.
