Ner'zhul



Ner'zhul is a prominent character in the Warcraft universe. An elder shaman, Ner'zhul was the chieftain of the Shadowmoon clan of orcs and the first official Warchief of the Orcish Horde and of the Horde of Draenor. He was tricked into making a Blood Pact with Kil'jaeden the Deceiver; one that bound the orcs into the service of the Burning Legion. Following the Second War, he opened several portals on Draenor in an attempt to seek out new lands to escape to and conquer, but was immediately captured by Kil'jaeden. His mortal form was destroyed and his spirit was transformed into the spectral Lich King, which was then encased in the mystical ice of the Frozen Throne atop the Icecrown glacier in Northrend.
