We've discovered new voice over lines for the Jailer Zovaal on the Patch 9.2 PTR. Amidst heavy reverb, the banished one mocks listeners over the plans set in motion and pawns maneuvered to realize his grand ambitions of breaking the machine of death.

Now taking credit for a number of events, from creating Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination in order to empower the Lich King to be his herald, to using the Dreadlords to manipulate Sargeras and the Burning Legion, the Jailer has been placed behind the scenes of several of the most important story arcs throughout WoW's history. Unfortunately, it was so well hidden that players didn't know it either, so instead of being an eye opening moment, the grand revelation seemingly came without rhyme or reason.
