The Lich King is one of the most compelling and popular antagonists in World of Warcraft. There have been three Lich kings in the history of Azeroth; Ner'Zhul, Arthas, and now Bolvar Fordragon. Each was tasked with commanding the undead scourge, and the majority of them used the scourge to lay waste to Azeroth. It was not until Bolvar took up the mantle that Azeroth could rest and focus their efforts on other forces.
