English term

on his most loyal advocate

English Other Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
There was a time when he would have disputed Lor'themar's choice to present himself as a ranger far more aggressively than Halduron had, but not anymore. For all the thorn in his side that Rommath had often been, Lor'themar could now find only pity within his heart for the mage. Kael'thas's final betrayal had taken its greatest toll on his most loyal advocate.

I find difficult to translate last sentence. I'll appreciate If you help me by rephrasing it.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it was a slip. I already noted it in my vote for eski below. I was caught up in answering what the phrase referred to.

on his most dependable and trustworthy defender

Two words for "loyal" as they cover slightly different aspects of it.
