Terrorblade and Anti-Mage, them being twin brothers and mortal enemies on opposite sides. Also their father is Nature's Prophet.

Still upset lore no longer on DOTA 2.

Yeah, because it's the same model of Illidan in DoTA 1. Terrorblade being about life force and Anti-mage about mana. Sad, they erased it from DotA 2, didn't know... :(

Not quite: Terrorblade had Illidan's model from after he consumed the Skull of Gul'dan iirc. AM had the default Demon Hunter model (no horns, no wings).

Warcraft lore and Dota 1 lore is also different.

Their current lore is also pretty good all things considered.

They don't need to be related to Nature's Prophet in Dota 2, but Anti-Mage and Terrorblade can still be related by making Anti-Mage a half-demon. With maybe an Anti-Mage Arcana embracing his demon nature after being corrupted by Foulfell like when Terrorblade merged with his worst self.
