Thane Kor'thazz, the Pale Rider of Death


"Cease yer snivelin' or I'll cease it for yeh!"

Thane Kor’thazz (Kor-thaz): Unlike any of the humanoid fiends at Kel’thuzad’s beck and call, Thane Kor’thazz is a Dwarf. Kor’thazz’s previous lot in life is unknown, but his affinity for death is the terror of the killing fields of the Plaguelands. Kor’thazz is a prime example that the Lich King’s merciless crusade extends to all races. Kor’thazz delights in keeping grisly trophies from his kills, often keeping the skulls of his victims. It is said that the blunt mace that he wields in battle is capped with the skull of his own father; truly a brutal legend. Kor’thazz bears a set of pale, white-green armor and a similarly colored hooded cloak on his back. His gray beard and crooked nose protrude from the hood and his glowing white eyes are often the last terrible sight that many see. Kor’thazz’s skeletal steed is likewise dressed in robes and armor plates of sickly greenish white color: a symbol of the life strangling nature of the Scourge. Kor’thazz employs a mix of fire and unholy magic in his attacks, often launching bolts of flaming bones at his foes. If these bullets do not make their mark they will animate and begin to attack Kor’thazz’s foes.

The Mark of Kor’thazz: As Kor’thazz employs unholy fire, so does his mark afflict his foes. The Mark will target the bones of his enemies, spreading a poison that eats the bones from the inside out. He calls this poison Wormwood.

Ultimate Power: Meteor—Kor’thazz’s unholy bolts of flaming bones come from his stockpile of trophies. The nearly unlimited amount of ammunition at his disposal is a testament to his record of evil. When he comes to a particularly worthy trophy or collection of trophies, he will unleash them all at once in a massive meteor like formation, crushing and incinerating its targets under the weight of its awful gloom.
