Mal'Ganis

The Dreadlord

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 Menethil to darkness, and make him the Lich King's greatest champion. Later he led the Scarlet Onslaught under the guise of Barean Westwind.

The power of the Nathrezim is not in pure power, it's in spreading the chaos and striking from the shadows. With Mal'Ganis's setup here, he is aimed to be very weak early game, and focused on disrupting the enemy team, where as in lategame, when he stacks up his spellpower talents and abilities, can provide his team the missing edge to turn a teamfight, either by introducing powerful boosts of strength or the missing heals needed to survive.

Mal'Ganis, the necromancer dreadlord that defiles the enemy team, weakening them ever so slowly while maintaning his own health.
