Mal'Ganis

Nathrezim of the Burning Legion

Mal'Ganis was one of the nathrezim sent by Archimonde as a jailor of the Lich King. He was chosen to head up the plot to turn Prince Arthas to darkness, and make him the Lich King's greatest champion.

Acting as secret leader to the Scarlet Onslaught, Mal'Ganis has since been sent to reveal the heroes of the Nexus, seeking further individuals to turn to the dark side.

Change forms to win the battle, depending on the tactical brilliance and dark guile of a Nazthrezim's corruption, or use your demonic and vampiric powers to destroy your enemies directly.
