The Lich King is the master and lord of the Scourge, which he rules telepathically from Icecrown Glacier atop the Frozen Throne.
Kil'jaeden the Deceiver created the Lich King from the spirit of the orc shaman Ner'zhul while Zovaal the Jailer forced the Runecarver (imprisoned Primus) who was forced against his will to do so by the Jailer to create both Frostmourne and Helm of Domination The Jailer intended to use the blade and the Helm to establish his influence on Azeroth, thereby allowing him to claim his "final prize", a secret that the First Ones sought to hide to raise an undead army to weaken Azeroth in preperation of the Burning Legion's invasion.

Trivia[]

  • The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Icecrown" series, for the card The Lich King.
  • The Lich King is the only minion to also be a default hero.
    • Demon Hunter's default hero, Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreIllidan Stormrage, would've had a corresponding minion had it not been removed and replaced with Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreXavius.
    • According to developers, the reason Illidan's minion had to be replaced, but not The Lich King's, is due to it being a "different situation", with the main reason being that The Lich King is not in Standard.[1]
      • Despite this, Xavius wasn't changed back into Illidan even after becoming a Wild-only card.
