That's a shame. I think it has a lot of potential but is definitely under-explored.

I'm not a huge fan of Blizzard's writing these days, but they definitely payed a lot of attention to this particular character and reveal a lot about what makes her tick through in-game dialogue and cinematics.

It doesn't have to be a written story specifically, any media will do. Their are a few series that I've heard dwell into this, but none of them I really have access to. (Either because I've completely forgotten what they are or no translation exists) An iffy example might be the exploration of Jean Gay and the Phoenix but, outside of Chris Claremont's run I'd struggle to call it a "Good story." (Or the aforementioned a good character)
Just a story that generally explores more of the corrupted character's perspective, their justifications and role on things overall would be nice. It doesn't seem to be too common however.
