Evil never looked this cool

Everybody loves tragic characters, and aside from Kerrigan, they don’t get any more tragic than Warcraft’s Arthas Menethil.

A prince of Lordaeron, Arthas was idealistic yet impulsive, with a dream of one day becoming leader.

When his homeland was invaded by the undead Scourge, Arthas was forced to take drastic measures to save his people. Promising it would give him the power to defeat his enemies, the Lich King convinced Arthas to wield the cursed sword, Frostmourne. The sword stole Arthas' soul, transforming him into a death knight. With the help of the Scourge, he then conquered Lordaeron, killing his own father in the process.

Arthas eventually became the new Lich King. With the Scourge under his command, he embroiled the world in constant, bloody war, effectively forcing the Alliance and the Horde to unite against him.

It’s not every day that a single man is able to convince bitter enemies to kiss and make up so that they can focus on killing you instead. This alone makes Arthas one of the best Blizzard heroes.
