History Characters / WarcraftTheScourge

** Inversely, Ner'zhul orders Kel'thuzad and Arthas to scourge the remnants of the Dark Horde as they no longer hold any favor with Ner'zhul for failing in the Second War.

* AffablyEvil: He's surprisingly polite in all of his dealings, even with his enemies. Much more so after he is raised as a lich, and takes on a mentoring role to Arthas. He even waves off Arthas killing him.

* DropTheHammer: Wields a mace with a green crystal head in Icecrown.

* FunSize: The [[http://wow.gamepedia.com/Lil%27_Phylactery Lil' Phylactery/Lil' K.T.]].

* StrippedToTheBone: [[http://wow.gamepedia.com/File:Darkhanburned.jpg Yup]], although he's later reanimated as undead.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It is implied by the dungeon journal and [[https://wow.gamepedia.com/Quest:Proof_of_Demise:_King_Ymiron a now removed quest]] that he actually loves his wife Queen Angerboda, as he seeks revenge for her death and keeps one of her lockets as a reminder of her. She in return refers to him as "my love".

* MoreThanMindControl: After he becomes undead, a lich to be exact, you may argue that he, just like many other undeads, is under the Lich King's mind control. However, you can't forget that while he was still alive, he is the one who found Cult of The Damned and already worshiping the Lich King since then. He also follows Arthas completely even when he loses control over weaker minions like Slyvanas and the majority of the undead, implying genuine loyalty. [[spoiler: With ''Shadowlands'', however, it is heavily implied that he only kept serving both Ner'zhul and Arthas because the Jailer ordered him to do so.]]

** [[spoiler: Later, in ''Shadowlands'', this gets retconned. As Kel'Thuzad says, he was serving the Jailer's agenda all along, while pretending to serve false masters, such as Ne'zhul and Arthas.]]

[[folder:Anub'Arak]]
!!Anub'Arak

->''"The Scourge will devour all!"''\\

Anub'Arak is the former king of Azjol-Nerub, who was killed and raised by the Scourge. The big crypt lord is now called a "Traitor King" by the surviving Nerubians, who wish to see him destroyed. He met up with Arthas on Northrend, who, alone and severely weakened and going up against both the armies of Illidan Stormrage and the horrors now living in the depths of Azjol-Nerub, gladly accepted Anub'Arak's help.

* AffablyEvil: Arguably the least overtly evil (but still villainous) character in ''Frozen Throne''. He is noticeably not sadistic compared to a lot of the other characters and would likely be a PunchClockVillain at worst if he wasn't bound to the Lich King's will.

-->'''Anub'Arak:''' My ''might'' cannot be matched!
* TheBigGuy: In the levels of the undead campaign of ''Frozen Throne'' that focus on Arthas' journey to the Frozen Throne, he is clearly the brute force and "tank" of the team they form, which is just what Arthas needs as his powers are weakening. Anub'Arak is also larger than all the other ground units.

--->'''Anub'Arak:''' RAAAAAAGH! Never thought... I would be free of him...

--->'''Anub'Arak:''' I have failed you, Master!

* TheStoic: Anub'Arak rarely raises his voice in ''The Frozen Throne'' (though he, like many bosses in World of Warcraft is a LargeHam there) and remains very calm most of the time. However...

-->'''Anub'Arak:''' ''It cannot be... A forgotten one. Look to your defenses, death knight! Fight as you've never fought before!''
