arthas menethil
At one time, Arthas embodied the hopes and dreams of a nation and its greatest defenders. He had all the makings of an excellent king — strength, bravery, a fierce devotion to his people — and everyone was sure his future reign would be as long and prosperous as his father's had been.
Arthas was trained as a paladin by Uther the Lightbringer, who felt confident that his guidance would temper Arthas' less desirable traits despite the concerns he'd had.
Unfortunately, no one could have foreseen how deep Arthas' insecurities ran or how far he would be willing to pursue his single-minded obsessions.
When the plague of undeath began sweeping across Lordaeron, Arthas was determined to stop it at any cost. He took up the cursed runeblade Frostmourne in order to defeat the dreadlord Mal'Ganis, but he ended up losing his soul in the process.
Now a Death Knight of the Scourge, Arthas lead an undead army in destroying Lordaeron, Quel'thalas, and Dalaran. Eventually, he would travel to Icecrown Glacier on the continent of Northrend and merge with the Lich King. Taking the power for himself, he would rule for years before finally being defeated through a joint effort by the Horde and Alliance.

appearance
Arthas is tall with the solid, muscular build of a warrior in his prime despite looking like the well-preserved corpse of someone who froze to death. His hair is bone white and he has a pale, ashen complexion only the dead can achieve with dark, bruise-like circles shadows around his eyes that no amount of sleep can help. His skin darkens at the extremeties, giving the appearance of frostbite.
