As much as I love Maiev Shadowsong why isn't Jarod Shadowsong in charge of retaking Darkshore?

// He isn't Shandris' lover canonically. He briefly lead the watchers in Cataclysm. He doesn't anymore. He lead the Kaldorei Resistance and he handed power over pretty quickly. He is himself, the weakest of the night elf leaders. That's why they initially made him leader.
The whole "Self-Insert" seems a bit far in my opinion too. I don't really see Jarod as such a character.
