* DropTheHammer: Some time after becoming the Lich King, he takes to using a colossal warhammer with a handle almost as long as he is tall.

* AnimeHair: His hair defied gravity back when he was alive during the ''Ashbringer'' comic. [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/b/bc/Darion_Argent_Dawn.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081103095200 Just look at him]].

* CameBackWrong: Somehow an InvertedTrope. As Darion Mograine says, death can have a way of quieting the madness that haunts people. When she's risen as a Death Knight, she's fare more lucid and agreeable than when she was alive.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: During his time as regent and faction leader for Stormwind (though Anduin was formally king), as well as during his time as leader of the Valiance Expedition.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Considering that Stromgarde was a nation of warriors, it makes sense that its king is a great warrior in his own right.

* DidntSeeThatComing: He always knew that Sylvannas would come for him, he expected her to become a new Lich Queen, not break the Helm of Domination and open up a rift to the Shadowlands.

* SealedEvilInACan: The reason for Bolvar becoming the Lich King is to become the can, controlling the Scourge to prevent them from overrunning all of Azeroth. He fails come Shadowlands, because Sylvanas shows up and wrecks the Helm of Domination

* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: Although they don't use the full title or share affinity for the four aspects they normally represent (they protect Azeroth, after all), the Four Horsemen are the strongest Death Knights under the Lich King and ride out to bring devestation to their enemies. As a nod to the original trope, the Four Horsemen's mounts wear cloth colored after the four horses (red, black, white, and green).

* SerratedBladeOfPain: Following his bequeathment of the Ashbringer to Tirion, Darion wields two runeblades with ''massive'' serated edges.

* TimeToStepUpCommander: In ''Legion'' he gives up the leadership of the order to the PlayerCharacter [[TheManBehindTheMan and by proxy, to the Lich King to an exent]] once he/she get the Artifact Weapon. If the Artifact are the Blades of the Fallen Prince, he outright says that he's "through with having magical weapons dictate my fate".

%%* WhiteHairBlackHeart: As an adult at least.

* BareYourMidriff: Unlike all other Death Knights, Whitemane's armor leaves her stomach exposed.

** There's another that doesn't seem to be as official, but is said by quite a few of the Ebon Blade NPCs. It's much simpler, but still quite telling. [[{{Determinator}} "We press on."]]
