TheWoWDBGrommash Hellscream was the father of Garrosh Hellscream and a long time friend to Thrall. In the main universe in which the player character comes from, he died a heroic death to free the orcs from the blood curse of Mannoroth and is revered as a hero by the Horde, despite the atrocities he committed while under said blood curse.
In the alternate Draenor that we travel to, Grommash Hellscream is the Warchief of the Iron Horde and the primary antagonist of at least the first part of Warlords of Draenor. It is unclear if he knows that Garrosh from our Azeroth is his son, but he appointed him as Warlord of the Warsong Clan in his place - so it is clear he has some high importance.
