The Lich King was an entity created by Kil'jaeden the Deceiver from the spirit of the orcish shaman Ner'zhul. Initially trapped within the Frozen Throne, the Lich King eventually merged with the human Arthas Menethil. He is the creator of the Scourge and rules over it telepathically from his throne atop the Icecrown Glacier.

The Lich King will be the main antagonist in the upcoming expansion World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

Birth of the Lich King

When Ner'zhul left the dying world of Draenor, he was immediately captured by Kil'jaeden. The demon was eager to take revenge on the orc, who had turned his back on the Blood Pact he had sworn years earlier. Ner'zhul's spirit was kept alive while his body was slowly torn apart. Entirely at Kil'jaeden's mercy, Ner'zhul agreed to serve the demon once more; exactly as the Deceiver had planned. Ner'zhul's spirit was encased in the Frozen Throne, a mystical block of crystal. Encased in the ice he felt his consciousness expand ten thousandfold, while being warped by Kil'jaeden's power. The orc that had been Ner'zhul ceased to exist, and the Lich King, a being of unfathomable power, was created.

As the ranks of the undead swept across Lordaeron, King Terenas' only son, Prince Arthas Menethil, took up the fight against the Scourge. As was the Lich King's intention all along, Arthas succeeded in killing Kel'Thuzad, but even so, the undead ranks swelled with every soldier that fell defending the land. Frustrated and stymied by the seemingly unstoppable enemy, Arthas took increasingly extreme steps to drive them out - he eventually ordered the slaughter of everyone in Stratholme, which had been infected by the plague, to prevent Mal'ganis from adding them to the army of the dead. Finally Arthas's comrades warned him that he was losing his hold on his humanity.

Arthas' fear and resolve proved to be his ultimate undoing. He tracked the plague's source to Northrend, intending to end its threat forever. There he stumbled across his long-time friend, Muradin Bronzebeard, brother to the dwarven King Magni, and the dwarf led him to a legendary weapon they hoped would help them combat the Scourge. Instead, Prince Arthas himself fell prey to the Lich King's tremendous power. Believing that it would help him save his people, Arthas took up the cursed runeblade, Frostmourne. Though the sword did grant him great power, the cost was high: Muradin lay dead, and Arthas began to lose his soul, transformed into the first and greatest of the Lich King's Death Knights. Arthas finally exacted revenge upon Mal'ganis, removing one of the Lich King's more dangerous jailers and completing the unholy transformation. With his soul cast aside and his sanity shattered, Arthas led the Scourge against his own kingdom - Lordaeron. Arthas murdered his own father, King Terenas, and crushed Lordaeron under the Lich King's iron heel.

Path of the Damned

With Arthas as his champion, Ner'zhul spread the Plague throughout Lordaeron. What remained of the Order of the Silver Hand struck back, but even mighty Uther fell to the Death Knight's power. On orders from Tichondrius, Arthas took the Scourge north, to the high elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas, to resurrect the Summoner of Archimonde - Kel'Thuzad. The high elves never stood a chance, and their capital, Silvermoon, was ravaged - their millennia-aged Sunwell warped and used to resurrect Kel'Thuzad as a lich. Thus, both masters were appeased: the Lich King's most loyal worshiper was returned, and the Summoner was unleashed.

Having progressed too far into the Legion's plan (and guarded too closely by Tichondrius) to back out now, Ner'zhul's minions laid siege to Dalaran, reclaiming a spellbook of Medivh... which contained the incantations needed for Kel'Thuzad to summon Archimonde.

Finally, Archimonde was summoned in Dalaran, and he immediately gave control of the Scourge to Tichondrius and the Dreadlords. But the Lich King was not done yet. Archimonde may have removed Ner'zhul's control over the undead, but in his eagerness for vengeance against the night elves, he forgot to return the Frozen Throne to Kil'jaeden. Thus, the Lich King remained at large.

During the Legion's invasion of Ashenvale, Illidan Stormrage was released from his barrow prison after ten thousand years of captivity. Realizing Illidan's addiction to magic, and having utilized the Skull of Gul'dan himself years earlier, the Lich King dispatched Arthas to Kalimdor. There, Arthas covertly told Illidan about the powers of the Skull of Gul'dan. Unable to resist such power, Illidan took up the skull and harnessed its vast energies. By doing so, Illidan developed demonic features and vastly magnified power. Illidan, exactly as the Lich King had planned, then proceeded to kill Tichondrius and liberate Felwood.

is it just me or has the Lich King (arthus) put on a couple pounds?

It's just his body storing extra fat because of the cold, guyz, come on. And everyone knows he has a hidden compartment beneath his Frozen Throne where he stores his ice cream. I hear it's made from baby penguins.

The Lich King, appears in Ebon Hold enclave for the new Death Knight initiates. He also appears on Death Beach, down from Ebon Hold, commanding you to execute Scarlet Enclave.

please, someone, delete the 'lich kings' listed in the same model as from the private servers, it makes people think they are realy in the game...

Commento di FarseerLolotea

He looks like he's based off of the male draenei model. From about shoulder to knee, anyhow.

Commento di 211113

Dang ... starter DKs should just freakin' solo him! He's only got 13k HP!

EDIT: This joke no longer really stands. For those curious, this instance of the Lich King (in the Death Knight starter area) only had 13k HP for a long time. It apparently got fixed in a recent patch.

I think I'm going to try and clear the air about this guy, as I've noticed alot of confusion over his voice, who he is, and so on.

First off, most people think the Lich King is Arthas, but thats wrong(subject to change maybe?): in an Icecrown quest, it says specifically "there is no Arthas anymore, there is only the Lich King." I say subject to change, it would be a very big lore u-turn if Arthas broke free from the Lich King.

Also, listen to his voice. Warcraft 3 veterans likely remember Arthas' voice as being... younger I guess, while this one seems older. The LK's voice is actually most likely Ner'zhul's, as he was the original LK as stated by someone above(Taleras). It isn't far fetched to say Ner'zhul destroyed Arthas' soul and took his body for himself, he specifically states in Path Of The Damned that he hates humans, why would he share king-ship with one?

That probably isn't a 100% success process. In ye olde Naxxramas one could hear the LK's voice (pre-WotLK) as being, if listening carefully, kind of like Arthas and Ner'zhul speaking in unison. Could be Ner'zhul being open-minded and trying a duo monarchy (forgot the term for it. x,x). In the WotLK trailer you can hear a voice that sounds like Arthas, once again not far fetched for someone of Ner'zhul's power to sound like Arthas.

As far as his character goes, while we dont know much about Ner'zhul per se, in WotLK he seems to be taking a hands on roll, stroking his e-peen everywhere in Northrend. That seems alot like how Arthas was in a way, and while I myself haven't had a whole lot of expereince with Ner'zhul, his character seems like he would be more of a away-from-the-front strategist, getting others to do his biding. Could be he absorbed Arthas' mind and this was a side effect (I'm gona eat your brains and gain your knowledge!).

Contradictory to the above paragraph, it could simply be that after being frozen for several years he just wants to move around a bit.

I hope I've cleared the air with this Great Wall of Text. the Lich King and his voice is not Arthas, it's not Frostmourne(¬.¬); it is Ner'zhul.
