Thaddius, the Scourged Titan

"You are too late! I OBEY."

Thaddius (Thad-ee-us): Of all the ghastly minions in the service of Kel’thuzad, Thaddius is the most hated. Thaddius is a brutal titan of flesh, the pinnacle of Scourge construction. Composed similarly to Patchwerk and Gluth, Thaddius is the amalgamation of countless bodies. Much worse than Patchwerk and Gluth, however, he is not a construction of simple fodder, slaughterhouse pieces stitched in makeshift. Thaddius was created, under Kel’thuzad’s blessing, almost entirely of women and children. The soul glutted ruins of Stratholme were ripe for the picking as Kel’thuzad and his Grand Necromancers tore the restless souls of the helpless women and children from their resting place where they were slaughtered by Arthas. Male flesh makes up the bulk of the titan’s outward appearance, but the animating factor in Thaddius are the countless tortured souls of hapless innocents. The souls were literally smelted together in the soul wells in Naxxramas, the screams echoing throughout the halls and corridors of the citadel. The blood curdling howls can still be heard from Thaddius’ hollow form. The bodies used in his construction were emaciated, drained, and thrown into a stretching pit where the bones and skin were forced over each other to form a giant. Thaddius’ lower body is heavily armored by unknown alloys of unimaginable durability. Thaddius’ arms and hands are extremely muscled, as is his entire body, bearing differing shades of skin color stretched along the frame. His head is formed of multiple faces and in some places, notably around the left eye, only muscular tissue is showing. Thaddius’ lower jaw, like Gluth, is a hinged metallic substitute. He does not employ it as Gluth does in combat, but it does serve to allow his voice to resonate more loudly, the screams of his captured souls radiating and piercing the air. Of particular notice is the single pauldron upon his left shoulder. Its purpose is unknown, but shields that portion of his nigh unto invincible body even further. The most terrifyingly powerful weapon at Thaddius’ arsenal is his heart. Pulsing with immeasurable energies, it is a wellspring of volatile substance. The souls within Thaddius’ being wage war with the darkness that sustains him and so great is the struggle that it radiates outward from his husk. Kel’thuzad’s magi were able to harness the power and allow Thaddius to control it. This allows Thaddius to increase his combat capabilities as well as power is ultimate ability.

Ultimate Power: Polarity—As Thaddius’ heart waged war within himself, Thaddius was given the ability channel the power. Thaddius is able to force the warring energies upon his foes, thus effectively granting them a polarity (similar to the repulsing effects of a magnet). A certain foe will be given the positive emotions of hatred, anger, fury and the like; another foe will be given the negative energies of weakness, fear, and sorrow. The two energies will clash mightily with each other. If two opposite polarities are in close proximity, the hosts of the conflicting polarities will disintegrate. The unpredictability of this combat mechanism makes Thaddius one of Kel’thuzad’s most powerful agents.
