Zovaal, now known as The Jailer, is a major antagonist in Warcraft franchise and a member of the Pantheon of Death, serving as the unseen overarching antagonist in World of Warcraft: Battle of Azeroth and the main antagonist of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
Once filling a vital role of overseeing eternal torment and imprisonment for the foulest of souls, The Jailer turned on his fellow Eternal Ones, forcing them to seal him away within his own realm.
Pulling the strings behind the scenes, it was his plan to have Sylvanas Windrunner ascend to the position of Warchief of The Horde, thus, indirectly, making him responsible for all the atrocities the Banshee Queen committed.
Biography
One of the Eternal Ones, primordial entities of death, Zovaal once worked in harmony with his kin in providing an essential aspect of the cycle of life and death; the eternal imprisonment of the most twisted and irredeemable souls in existence.
However, eons ago, he betrayed the others, and sought to bring about a new age of death and darkness to the Shadowlands, and the worlds beyond.
Orchestrating a plot, he completely disrupted this cycle and brought drought and misery to the Shadowlands by stealing all the arriving souls, and in turn, their anima, the vital resource of the afterlife. He orchestrated the ascension of Sylvanas to the position of Warchief, leading to the destruction of Teldrasil, as well as the liberation of the Old God N'Zoth, and then the shattering of the veil itself.
