Teron Gorefiend

Pale Rider of Shadowmoon

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Teron_Gorefiend 

Story:
"Once a Warlock of the Shadowmoon clan, Teron was the first of Gul'dan's dark riders known as the death knights. Possessing horrifying unholy powers and cruelty beyond imagining, he rides the countless battlefields of the Nexus on his path of conquest."

Skin Variations: Yellow with Red, Red with Dark Blue, and Purple with Light Blue.

5/1/18 Update: Brought Teron up to speed with the current state of the game, improving his base kit and almost completely reworking his talents, the main addition being his new second trait Pale Rider, which keeps him permanently mounted at the cost of his mounted speed being slower than other heroes.

The stacking debuff is a great way to get across that "relentless killer" feel. I think he needs a snare (without talenting) to really be effective; Crushing Shadow should probably get a slow attached to it, since one of your three basic abilities being devoted only to adding more "get more damage to your other basic abilities" is pretty uninteresting, and locks him into HAVING to pick one of the snare talents.

Shadow of Death is also a neat concept, but the way it's laid out, there's a REAL narrow window of effectiveness where you can get it to do damage and summon things. I think it would work better as a DOT.

Still, the overall concept works together pretty well, even if it's not a hundred percent perfect. Thumbs up!

This concept really reminds me of warcraft II characters, that's really nice !
There might be a couple of things that are a bit too good, but the general idea is great, I like it. :)
