Highlord Alexandros Mograine, the Red Rider of War


"The Master's will be done."

Highlord Alexandros Mograine: The last of the Four Horsemen is the most terrible of them all. The Red Rider of War, symbolizing the heart of the Lich King’s consummate hatred of the living is none other than the Highlord of the Scarlet Crusade, the Ashbringer. Once the most potent enemy of the Scourge, Mograine’s will was shattered by the diabolical machinations of Kel’thuzad. Having been run through by his own sword at hands of his own son, the blade he used to conquer the Scourge became corrupted in untold measure. Mograine now wields the Corruped Ashbringer in battle, serving as the preeminent military guard in Naxxramas. His crimson armor decks his rotting flesh as well as that of his mighty steed. Mograine is the most cruel of the Four Horsemen, having been broken beyond repairing by Kel’thuzad’s domination. His black heart drums to the beat of serving only his master the Archlich, allowing no mortal to pass his deadly combat prowess. A master of the blade, Mograine wields his two-handed claymore with astounding prowess. Imbued with the powers of the Scourge, the Corrupted Ashbringer wields the elements of shadow and unholy magic. A paladin in his former life, Mograine wields also the powers of the Light. As the supreme creation of Kel’thuzad, Mograine wields the powers of each of the other three Horsemen. His combat exploits are numerous, though he often lags behind the other three Horsemen while they cut the ranks of the Argent Dawn to pieces; Mograine will emerge to challenge the Champions and heavy infantry of the Argent Dawn. His utter cruelty will also goad him into massacring the weaker infantry as well. His presence spreads disease and his blade brings death. No battle has been lost when Mograine charges the field; he is the Rider of War.

The Mark of Mograine: Mograine’s mark blasts his foes with Unrighteous Fire. His former power of wielding the Light have become corrupted, similar to Sir Zeliek. Empowered by Kel’thuzad himself, Mograine wields also the powers of Unholy and Shadow magic. His mark targets the bodies of his foes in entirety, shattering minds and searing flesh alike. His presence is intolerable to weak souls; only the most devout champions of mortality could hope to stand before him.

Ultimate Power: Reaping—When presented before the Lich King as a choice gift from the Archlich, Mograine was taught a very potent melee attack by his King. The Lich King’s own move is infinitely more powerful, but Mograine’s is nothing to be trifled with. With an arcing slash of his Corrupted Ashbringer, the unholy powers housed within will spill over onto his foes, inflicting them with a concentrated form of his Mark.
