Zarthalos




 * Zar'thalos is a relatively agreeable Death Knight, former scourge commander and frostbrood rider. However, that was a long time ago and one would find him more tolerable these days. None of that skull-cleaving and heart-stabbing nonsense. He still has his frostbrood vanquisher "Ruin" with him who, despite having also been freed, still likes the taste of mage. Edyne, beware.

Notable Quirks/Appearance

 * Most is easily seen through art, however...


 * Zar'thalos has pale skin, as though drained of most blood. He'll tell you it's no big deal and to stop staring at him, even if he is ludicrously handsome.
 * He has several scars vertical over his lips. He'll claim there is no emo history to them.
 * He has a dozen or so lash marks on his back. Elimir may have something to do with that.
 * Deathly (ha) afraid of children.
 * Has uncharacteristically beautiful handwriting.
 * By some eldritch magic, Ruin's missing eye is often seen floating nearby, watching the action when Ruin itself isn't. Creepy.

History

 * No saga here. While in service of the Lich King, Zar'thalos was a ruthless jackass.

A captain and frostbrood rider, Zar'thalos was barely liked by even his grim colleagues. Notable relationships include Elimir, whom Zar'thalos met soon after Elimir's being risen into the scourge. He begrudgingly (at first) accepted the other's friendship before it was truly reciprocated. He was a bit of a late bloomer in his rebirth out of the Lich King's grasp. Aware of the suicide run to Light's Hope, Zar'thalos was in no position to tell his friend Elimir however, his ties to the Lich King were lessened after that fateful moment in which Tirion wielded the Ashbringer. In a confrontation with the Ebon Blade, Zar'thalos got his ass handed to him and was severely wounded. After that, all it took was a remembered song sung by Elimir to free him. Zar'thalos' frostbrood was quick to follow.
