we will review the Lich King Arthas, one of the most iconic and popular

villains

in Warcraft. The story with Arthas begins after the second war. Arthas was just a boy after the second war ended and he wanted to be a hero. Like all the people who fought in the war and began receiving special training from Bearden to learn how to fight a few years later, Jaina visited Lourdes Iran and Arthas offered to help, escorting a dollar and during the trip they took a stop in a field of orc internment.

Arthas commented that he saw nothing but monsters and murderers as he looked at the orcs and Jaina commented that he felt bad for them and that they seemed a little sad despite their small difference in this regard. Jana and Arthas grew up a lot. They grew closer and became great friends. Arthas then begins training him to become a paladin and eventually earns dollars so he can study there, but in reality he was only there to flirt with Jana. Eventually the two start dating, but they do it in secret. One day, Jana drops a Kael'thas was also interested in Jaina at the time and called Arthas as

king

if he was going to do it. dating Jaina, he should do it openly and not secretly.

Arthas commented that Athira was in important positions and did not want people to gossip and Kalfa scolded Arthas for being afraid of gossip as a reason to hide their relationship and then left. Arthas really couldn't. I don't agree with this, so it bothered him a little, although he and Jaina continued dating for a few years and became very close after this, then one day, during a casual date, Jaina comments that their future children would have blonde hair. , which completely drives Arthas crazy because he's not sure about the future and then he broke up with Jaina over this mainly because he thought he would be a bad husband and father or something and they broke up because of his own insecurities, they both went their own ways and became important . people and then the plague began to appear there was a plague epidemic that was killing people the anarchist of the Kingdom sent for cots during a search he ran into Jaina again and discovered that the plague was spreading through the grain they also found discovered that it was Kel'thuzad who was spreading it, so they chased Kel'thuzad and killed them, but before Kel'thuzad told him that it was too late to stop the plague and Arthas at that time was very obsessed with trying to stop the plague to the point where he became increasingly hostile towards his allies as they tried to calm him down, but since they knew Arthas was only getting angry because he was worried about his people, they just put up with it. and helped him anyway until they got home when Arthas arrived in Stratholme, he discovered that the entire city had already been infected by the Green poison and that there was nothing they could do to stop it and that it was only a matter of time before The entire population turned into undead, so Arthas came to the conclusion that he must kill all the citizens of the city before they turned into undead and became violent and a real threat to everything else. close, but when Arthas proposes a perfectly reasonable plan to his men, half of them were definitely not on board with us, Luther and Jaina were also there, Thur was one of the first paladins and Arthas, his master, and Aether basically gave him He told Arthas that he wasn't going to go kill civilians, so Arthas told More to get out of there.

His sight, Jaina seeing this also left and did not help them with Stratholme, so with all the people who actually stayed behind, Arthas took them to the city and killed as many people as he could, eventually the population became No. -dead halfway and left. in a slaughter of undead during this incident, although he simply lost the ability to use light, so he could no longer be considered a paladin and in Stratholme he encountered a fearsome lord evilly named Ganis, who mocked him and he told him that he was responsible and that he would be waiting in Northrend if Arthas was brave enough to go find him, so Arthas went to the northerners to hunt down Mal'Ganis and at this point he was absolutely obsessed with hunting him down, it turns out that Killing an entire city of civilians didn't do it. exactly leave Arthas in the best state of mind while a northern trait seeks evil Ganis Arthas runs into Meriden, the door of him trained had a fight after the second more, it is from Meerut in the sense that Arthas learns about Frostmourne, a cursed rune sword that is told to have magical powers so Arthas offers to help be heard and search for it because without his light powers he is not as strong as he used to be as a paladin and would need some kind of new power source to help him stop Mal Ganis, but during his trip to Northland.

The men of the campaign from Lordran, Arthas's hometown, came to Northrend to tell Arthas that they had been ordered to return home immediately and also told Arthas's men that they had all been called as well, so all of Arthas's men began to return to the coast in order. bring their ships home, so Arthas decides to not only ignore the order to return home, but also destroy the ships before his men can reach the shore so that they too cannot return and he is forced to stay and help. , so he hires a couple. of mercenaries and races to the shore and burned all the other ships and then, when his men finally reached the shore, Arthas blames the mercenaries and orders his men to kill them.

Muradin was with Arthas the entire time and increasingly did not agree with what Arthas was doing. doing and Arthas killing the mercenaries was kind of the last draw for him, but at this point Mal Ganis shows up and starts sending out his army after Arthas Arthas knows he doesn't stand a chance against Mal Ganis and his army, so he find the best way. to survive is to search for Frostmourne Mira dent reluctantly accepts this and they set out to find it as quickly as possible when Arthas and Mira Dean finally find Frostmourne and discover that the sword is cursed, which was reflected in the worst fear when he for the first time.

I heard about the sword, but this wasn't going to deter Arthas at this point, so he grabbed the sword which caused some kind of magical explosion that knocked Meriden out. Arthas assumed that this explosion had killed Meriden, so he simply left him to his fate and with Frostmourne in hand left under the Lich King's control, Mal Ganis then appears and asks him what the Lich King is telling him to do, since that the Lich King gets Mal Ganis on the same side. Arthas then kills Mal Ganis to Mel Janice's surprise because it turns out the Lich King isn't really the Dreadlords' best friend, Arthas eventually returns with help only to kill his father and the sacrifice is in the Kingdom, ma

king

them his own personal army of undead, then Arthas comes out and raises his invincible horse and decides to resurrect Kel. 'Thuzad, since he was one of the Lich King's most trusted servants, to do this, Arthas decides to go out to find his father's urn to carry Kel'thuzad's body only to discover that the urn is protected by ether.

Arthas then attacks. there to grab the urn and kill him, but almost loses the fight in the process, it turns out that the aether was really powerful after obtaining the urn, they head to Silvermoon to try to use the Sunwell to resurrect Kel'thuzad, since Arthas needed a great source of power to bring back Kel'Thuzad as a

lich

, so with his huge army of undead, Arthas goes to Silvermoon and tries to invade it, but Silvermoon has a very powerful magical protection, so that the attack on the city does not go well for Arthas. luckily for him, one of the elves betrays Silver Moon and shows Arthas how to overcome the magical defenses.

With this, he easily overcomes them, kills the Ranger who was giving Sylvanas the most trouble, and raises her as a banshee to meet one of her personal guards. he then goes to the city, kills about 90% of the elves including their king, and then uses the Sun well to bring Kel'thuzad back to life as a

lich

with Kel'thuzad in the picture, now he tells them that now needs to go. to dollar n to steal Madoff's book that was necessary to bring the Burning Legion to the world, so Arthas walks to dollar n because he just took out one of the hardest-to-loot cities on the planet. entering dollar run was just a slightly less difficult task, so Arthas enters dollar n and kills the leader of dollar n tonight and gets the book Kel'Thuzad, then the summons combine into the world we've been in immediately transfers control of the undead to the dreadlords. he destroys the dollar and then tries to conquer the world.

It is at this point that Kel'thuzad tells Arthas of the Lich King's secret plan. The Lich King wanted the Burning Legion to enter the world so they wouldn't pay attention to him. and now that the Legion was busy invading the planet, he could finally break free of its control, but if the Legion managed to take control of the planet, they would simply take it back, so he needed Arthas to go out and help Azeroth win the war against the Ardent . Legion and part of his master plan was to give Illidan the golden skull. Illidan with the skull of Gul'dan used it to kill the fearsome Final Lord who kept the Lich King in control.

Eventually, the citizens of Hazarat won the war against the Legion and Arthas returned to Lord to rejoin Kel'Thuzad and Lord in Arthas and Kel'Thuzad drove out the remaining Dreadlords and set about rebuilding his Scourge army, but then Arthas began to weaken and the Lich King told him that he needed to return. to the Frozen Throne to recharge his powers and it is at that time that the dreadlords attacked the city and isolated Arthas from Kel'Thuzad. Arthas went to the forest to meet Azad again and was ambushed by Sylvanas. Kel'thuzad was able to come. I went in and saved Arthas at the last second thanks to the fact that Sylvanas wanted to kill Arthas slowly and just poison him first instead of killing him directly, so kel'thuzad chased away Sylvanas, the herbs and the cheese and went to sin to Arthas to the Northern Rim and It was at this point that Arthas told Kel'Thuzad that he was his only true friend, which was surprising for the Death Knight version of Arthas, who was quite ruthless and killed everyone.

This was the only time Arthas' version of the Lich King called anyone a friend. or something like that When Arthas finally arrived in Northrend, he discovered that Illidan and his forces were there looking for him. It turns out that Illidan was working for Kil Jaeden and Kil Jaeden was angry that the Lich King had broken free of his control and told him. Illidan went to kill him, so a weakened Arthas upon arriving in Northrend was greeted by a hunting party of blood elves and they were still quite angry about what he had done to Silverman. Fortunately, a new barracks appeared to save his skin.

The new Lich King knew Arthas. he was weakened and sent a super AK there to escort him to the Frozen Throne maneuver. It was an old ruse that Illidan's forces were everywhere and were looking for him, so the only way to get to the Frozen Throne was by taking an underground secret. Nerubian path and as they navigated the underground city they kept hearing whispers about a traitor king, to which Arthas commented, "I didn't know they knew who I was," to which a super AK responded. I think they are referring to me, since the Lich King would routinely send a super AK into Nerubian territory to kill them and raise them as part of his army and the underground route they were taking was not completely under the Lich King's control after attacking some old god and get out of the nerubian cave Arthas and uber a car got into the chaos and Illidan at that point Illidan was very close to the Frozen Throne and Arthas and Inoue Buraq were on their way to try to get there first, but the Somme class arrived with a little blood out of strength to try to stop it.

They, Kel Fossen, Arthas fought one on one and Kael tha entered into hand-to-hand combat with Arthas with his sword. A friend, my lord Arthas, thought this was a terrible idea since New Chaos was a powerful wizard and had destroyed this sword previously when his father used it to try to stop Frostmourne, so Arthas went in to try to stop Frostmourne. cut Calais in half, but to his surprise, the blade stayed up and this is what Kel thought it was pointing at. Kalfas was trying to buy time until Illidan can reach the Frozen Throne and kill the Lich King, which would rob Arthas of his power, and Elven swords grew stronger each time they were reforged, so he knew that his companion Malorne would be able to withstand at least a couple of hits from Frostmourne.

Soquel and Arthas' thoughts were having a battle and the health office was doing a great job just buying time even if he knew he couldn't actually kill Arthas which really upset him and he tried to get rid of the bill by mocking him. and talking about Jaina. Arthas asked us health if he was still angry for doing it. I stole from Jane, to which Kalfa said: "You probably don't know this Arthas,but Jaina hates you. Now you make her sick and dislike you, and any love she once had for you has turned into hate and after hearing this, Arthas was the one who got angry and started attacking Calhfa randomly in rage, at that moment Kalfas thought that already He had bought enough time and teleported away and when Calhfa left, Arthas composed himself and headed straight to the Frozen Throne for Illidan and a new Barret came in and stomped. anyone else who might get in their way, so with Arthas and Illidan alone they had a one-on-one battle.

Illidan was very arrogant and was definitely going to win as Arthas was visibly tired from his fight with Kalfus, he flew into the air and showed off his twin swords of azzinoth telling Arthas that he obtained the swords 10,000 years ago from a demon who had mastered them and That his small rudin sword that he had recently acquired was no match for him. After hearing this, Arthas actually became very confident that he could win. since Frostmourne was basically fused with him and was an extension of himself and there is no way Illidan's sword-stealing, even with years of experience, could come close to the mastery he had with Frostmourne, so when Illidan swooped in to attack, Arthas he recklessly swooped down and hit Frostmourne with the utmost confidence and actually landed. a blow, then Illidan Arthas went to another exchange in which Arthas dealt the final blow that knocked out Illidan and left him bleeding in the snow and since Arthas was in a hurry, he simply left Illidan there and ran towards the Frozen Throne as soon as possible.

Then a new Brack came in and helped Arthas with the four stones or whatever was needed to access the Frozen Throne, then Arthas finally ascended the infusive Ner'zhul and became the true Lich King. Arthas then contemplated his life and what it would be. He wanted to be the Lich King and finally decided he needed to make some changes, so he cut out his heart to get rid of his human side and threw it under the ice crown and then killed Ner'zhul's spirit inside the armor. Somehow it shows up later and well, but it doesn't affect the Lich King Arthas while he was still doing his thing.

Arthas then rested for a couple of years and then decided to go out and bring order to the world. Arthas thought that a unified world ruled by the undead could handle outside threats like the Legion and the void better than stupid people constantly fighting each other over silly things, but people more powerful than him had tried and failed to take over the undead. world, so he needed a different approach: the first thing he did was King Sindragosa, then he instigated a Scourge invasion on the Horde alliance cities to irritate them and provoke them to attack Northrend, then he headed out to crush some of the members of the Scarlet Crusade to get them out.

In an actual assault on what he thought was a real threat, he sent a group of his Death Knights to the Chapel of Hopes to lure out a certain person, as the place had too much holy magic for him to approach. and then, after an altercation. Tyrion to drink came out of hiding from him, cleansed the bearer of ashes and was able to fight Arthas. Arthas then retreated north of Rent to prepare his army and wait for a faction of the Death Knights to rebel against Arthas during this assault, so angry that Arthas sent them there.

He died and decided to join the alliance in the Horde and with a letter from Tyrion they were able to speak with the leaders of the respective factions without being killed, which ultimately sparked the Northrend campaign. Finally, Arthas realizes that something is happening in the boring tundra and heads there. Finding one of his former Death Knights fighting one of his Sandlin, he asks the Death Knight if he was there to meet with the Scourge, but the Death Knight replies no, not after what Arthas had done to them in the lights of Hope Chapel, that's when they sanlian them. intervenes and says that he will kill the traitors for him and bring their heads to Arthas, then Arthas and basically said okay, sure, whatever and then he had to relive that San lien because he had finally failed and ended up being one of the bosses in Later, Arthas left for Zelda Rack because the trolls there were willing to join the scourge, which would be a big boost to the undead army later, although the leader of those trolls loses to an adventurer and He asked the Lich King Arthas for help. he goes down there and kills the troll and thought it was an abuse that the adventurer could beat his new champion, so he basically just said: you can go ahead and leave.

I will not do anything. It was so funny how you killed my boy. He probably wasn't strong enough anyway to lose to you and then the adventure just goes away since there's no way he can beat which King on his own and this is the real reason why Arthas kept letting those go. adventurers. His real plan was to raise powerful people. champions of the Alliance and the horde that way he could send them back to their capitals and let them destroy themselves in a war of attrition, in which case Arthas could come in later and lay waste to everyone as his servants, meanwhile in acts with Kel'Thuzad Arthas was talking to him about his preparations with his army when Kel'Thuzad noticed that he had some intruders so Arthas told him to quickly get rid of them and then get back to work and then Arthas never heard from again. of Kel'Thuzad, eventually the Hoarder Alliance built a gigantic army in front of the Icecrown Citadel at the Gate of Wrath after winning many battles against the scourge and killing Kel'Thuzad Arthas wanted them to reach his gates. tired from the battle, lacking confidence and strong, so he decided he needed to join the fight himself for a hot fight. second to give them a much-needed loss and with both sides basically in full attendance, Arthas set out to meet him after sending some of his minions to test them first.

Arthas immediately kills Tsar Frank Jr. and then putress ambushes everyone there with barrels of plague that hurt both the living and the undead. Arthas, realizing how bad the plague is, immediately retreats, as not even he can deal with biological warfare, especially not a plague specifically designed to kill him some time later. An adventurer finds Arthas' heart that he threw beneath the Citadel. However, the adventurer did not take the heart, but Arthas was aware that it was found, so he sent some of his cultist followers there to grab it and then all the cultists took care of the heart.

Arthas realizes that some of the cultists were not actually part of his gang, so he goes down to see for himself and discovers that some of the cultists are actually hidden members of the Argent Crusade, including Tyrion. . Tyrion then attacks the heart with the ashbringer. and destroys it, which surprisingly weakened Arthas. Arthas then went to try to kill Tyrion, but at that moment reinforcements arrived for him and they were able to escape before Arthas could kill them all and some time later, Arthas discovered that they were holding a tournament, so he dropped in. to ruin the party and told everyone that the tournament was actually taking place on top of a Nerubian fortress and broke the floor sending all the champions below to fight two new Buraq Arthas, then retreated to let a rookie take care of it and then never heard of a super AK.

Once again, the horde and alliance forces at this point had successfully pushed Northrend from all angles and the only thing left was to assault this Citadel directly, which is exactly what Arthas wanted. The Argent Crusade reached their front gate and stormed the Citadel, so in To prepare for the incoming invasion, Arthas walked to the halls of reflection to grab Frostmourne only to find Sylvanas there trying to steal it or Jaina, depending on which faction. tell your part of the story and end up expelling Solanas, but that's not the case. He can't kill her as reinforcements arrive literally at the last second to taste, so Arthas simply returns to the top of the Citadel and waits bright and excited at how well his plans are going or one would assume if he had emotions at this point.

Once most of the crusade finally manages to enter, including Tyrion Fording and the world's greatest champions, Arthas taunts them by letting them know that Bolivar Fordragon, the leader of the Alliance in Wrathgate, is actually still alive and is currently Being burned down at the top of the Citadel gave them even more incentive to reach the top of the tower as if they no longer needed it and Arthas made sure to give them plenty of proof as he wanted to make sure that the champions who managed to reach it were the most strong as humanly possible, so when they finally reached the top of the tower defeated and battle-weary, Arthas immediately freezes Tyrion and then decides to test the remaining champions for himself after a long, hard fight that took a toll on them. some. of them ripping out the souls of others.

Arthas finally decides that yes, these guys are the best and would literally be the best undead fighting force on the entire planet, so he instantly kills them all by showing them that he was just playing the whole time. Arthas succeeded in his plan and won the final battle, so he then tries to resurrect all the champions he just killed, wins and one of the best uses of deus ex machina tropes ever. Tyrion breaks out of his ice block and smashes Frostmourne while still in the middle of resurrecting all the nearby dead champions, causing the sword to basically implode on itself releasing all the souls trapped inside which begin to attack. to Arthas, then one of the souls that escapes Arthas, his father, resurrects all the fallen dead. champions who finally finish off Arthas as the spirits stun him and then after Arthas dies, Bolívar Fordragon takes up the mantle of the Lich King to keep in check the undead army that would have gone mad and destroyed the world after already Not be. controlled by Arthas and for some reason he doesn't order all the undead to just jump into a volcano and that's the end of Arthas' story, definitely the most story of any villain in the game I've covered so far and absolutely the most popular: I would like to thank Rachel for the drawing she did for this video and if you liked them, I recommend that you follow her on Twitter which will be linked in the video description below and if you like this video, because?
