Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Bleeding Hollow Clan, led by Kilrogg Deadeye, was one of the largest and most powerful of the Orcish Clans, but years of civil war on Draenor and after the genocide of the Draenei drastically reduced their numbers. Kilrogg, eternally loyal to the Blackrock Clan, which, before the passing, had been forged through the Thunderlord Clan, followed them unerringly to Azeroth, and Deadeye was elected to lead the attack upon Stormwind Keep alongside Cho’gall the Ogre-Mage.

The attack was catastrophic, and Deadeye immediately blamed Cho’gall's incompetence. However, just before it seemed that the Horde would erupt into civil war once again, Blackhand arose to quell the uprisings. He was deemed Warchief, the first since the war on the Draenei.

Deadeye served Blackhand loyally throughout the First War, and Doomhammer even more so in the Second War. Deadeye moved the Bleeding Hollow Clan to Ironforge in Khaz Modan, the former stronghold of the Dwarves and Gnomes, and began to oversee and protect the mining operations there. Deadeye and his clan were routed by Azerothian forces as the war drew to its bloody end, but fled before they could be captured. In the years that followed the end of the Second War, Alleria's scouts were appointed to hunt down and eradicate the Bleeding Hollow Clan.

Deadeye knew that he was not safe in Azeroth, and so, through unknown methods, he contacted Ner'zhul on Draenor, who helped the chieftain to escape through the Rift at Nethergarde.

Deadeye's men were heralded as heroes when they returned to Draenor, and Deadeye told Ner'zhul all he knew of the lands of Azeroth, pledging his clan to Ner'zhul's will as thanks for allowing their forces back into Draenor. He distributed the Goblins, Trolls, Dragons, and Death Knights amongst the other clans.

Deadeye assisted with intelligence and manpower to recover the artifacts Ner’zhul needed for his dark scheme. When that scheme eventually came to fruition, Deadeye, with Grom Hellscream, escaped back into Azeroth. Despite the aged chieftain's best efforts, he was captured and placed in an internment camp.

The Bleeding Hollow banner was an eye with a gash going down through it cross ways and with blood dripping down from it. This was a symbol of its leader, Killrogg Deadeye, who had lost his eye.

The warlock class can summon a floating eye, called an Eye of Kilrogg (as with the Ogre Mage spell in Warcraft 2) to scout around the warlock. There is a beach named Deadeye Shore in Durotar, the Orcish kingdom, in honor of Kilrogg. There is also a server named after him.
