With our Covenant Recaps finished, we've turned to a new mini-series focusing on the many iconic Azerothian characters that now dwell in the Shadowlands!

First up is the notorious Necromancer and Arch-Lich, Kel'thuzad, as we showcase his life during the Third War, the events leading up to all three of his deaths and fate that awaited him when he crossed through the veil of Death!
