Top 10 Undead Lore Characters

[@undefined6512]

*Godfrey wakes up* "So anyway I started blasting..."

[@TecTitan]

You made my day.

[@eroticusplatypus2955]

Thumbs up for having Gunther Arcanus

[@vylaethas2064]

best necromancer eveer

[@hunterosborne2373]

I'm pretty sure he was used as a quest giver for collecting a staff. Cata revamp nixed that.

[@rivia-1]

Eroticus Platypus what does lore mean?

[@jcwelchjr]

Gunther Arcanus will hopefully get brought back into the fold. I think he has just been forgotten about.

[@Marlockie]

You used to get a quest to recover 2 or so items... I believe either an orb and staff, or book and something else...

[@SaturnYoshi]

Sylvanas then: "We must practice tolerance." Sylvanas now: "You are all nothing!"

[@andersenzheng]

Sylvanas now now: "Shouldn't have done that, little lion is crazier than I thought."

[@MatthewTheUntitled]

Practically nothing 💀

[@soulcleave2386]

god that wrathgate cinematic still brings chills to my spine everytime i see it

[@andersenzheng]

"Did you think we have forgotten?", instant goosebumps.

[@sunshinekat7912]

As a rogue main I can confidently say that Belmont probably just used Vanish after killing two or three worgen. Or maybe that's just me, lmao.

[@miklosszabo4551]

Nah, good ol' pve combat rogue would just slaughter them all. Too bad there si noch such thing as a combat rogue anymore :(

[@Ithrial420]

Yee old combat rogues would just slaughter em all and be done with it xD with him even being undead he regained his lost HP by cannibalize xD

[@TheSpeedywarmup]

Crazy that Voss and Nathanos are still (or now more than ever) pretty important characters in the Horde history (Currently BfA)

[@jakecrandall5670]

For some reason i'm addicted to undead lore (im an undead in wow) so this video was awesome! good job!

[@briancooley8777]

A_Baugulf_Turtle same!

[@MatthewTheUntitled]

They basically went "lmao he weak, we out" and gave their last fuck

[@zanthimos]

Even after all these years, I still remember the quest chains involving Nathanos. That is why I'm not surprised to see him as number one. I remember all those times he'd one shot my pally tank back in vanilla.

[@Whurlpuul]

Now THAT is a good ass video. Great job, keep it up!

[@ClaritySeries]

Marco Murkrow Tauren?

[@yabashe]

ClaritySeries ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@theswagonborn4164]

This covered so much more Lore than I could have anticipated from an Undead only vid. The Wars and Mages were a real bonus. One of my favorites by far! Thank you so much for all of these, dude!

[@GobyTSB]

I subbed when you pointed out Gunther Arcanus was a lich that wasnt one of those big skeleton guys. Good god damn job with the lore

[@brettmcroleplayer7867]

Forsaken are so much fun. You brought back some great BC memories on my undead priest: Gunther Arcanus ... Commander Belmont ... and then Apothecary Putress in the WotLK cinematic. Thank for your effort. Your work is timeless.

[@zethraelofteldrassil3149]

YES! Grand Apothecary Putress (#5)! I love wandering around his alchemy laboratory. Grand Supreme Apothecary Putress! We are in a new expansion, and he deserves a title upgrade.

[@GildedApp5]

“I was the first you know.. for me, the wheel of death has spun many times” -Teron Gorefiend

[@AlmightStick]

"A beast in a hat, is still a beast!"

[@dorage9372]

Fun thing is that Galen Trollbane is crazy. And the Swedish word 'galen', translated into English, is 'crazy'.

[@looksfineforme9471]

lol that's awesome

[@wittyreviewer]

Ah, Nathanos. One of my favorite Undead. I always liked him back in Vanilla when, as a Horde, Sylvanas sends you off to trained by him and he constantly acts like you're worth less than the dirt on his shoes. Honestly I strongly believe the two of them had something going on, he seems particularly devoted to her, even for a Forsaken, and some dialogue and quests make it sound like he thinks of her in more than a professional capacity. Largely that he specifically tells you not to read that letter you picked up in Vanilla that you mentioned in the video, and that in the aftermath of Vol'jins funeral ambush she's joking with him. Can you imagine that? Sylvanas, ice queen of WoW, joking?

[@karlkristjankivisalu7052]

Sorry but Nathanos won't bang anyone since they're dead and don't have any blood circulation needed for banging, but knowing blizzards alternate univerese and shit, they'll make another Twilight story and give a dead being erection and a possibility to reproduce against all biological laws.

[@maxben3391]

Magic Viagra, done.

[@viikmaqic]

@@karlkristjankivisalu7052 Well they should not be alive either becuse you know "they're dead". I like how you question the boner thing but not that they are dead but still walking around.

[@zentar2646]

steve danuser

[@Beansandroast]

​@@zentar2646 is a fucking cancer on world of warcraft

[@BushBumperBaker]

I really wish Blizz would put an Undead character in Heroes of the Storm. Professor Putricide would be amazing. or any of these people. xD

[@rorysmistakes]

Sylv is in HotS though

[@JackWessNevux]

How about Stitches, Sylvanas, Leoric, Xul Anubarak Kelthuzad and Arthas

[@rorysmistakes]

KT wasnt out when this was made, Leoric and Xul are diablo, stitches isnt undead but a monstrosity, and arthas isn't undead. Really only anub and sylv apply

[@JackWessNevux]

KT is here now though? Leoric and Xul being from diablo makes them any less undead? Stitches is not a monstrosity but an abomination AND very undead. Arthas is undead, he cut out his fucking heart and dropped it below icc. Mouse over them ingame and you'll see they're undead. You could argue Stukov is undead too

[@ShunTzu13]

I want lillian voss in hots

[@tae523]

It's Alonsus not Alonus

[@tae523]

@matt Hello

[@jaredcain5596]

watching this video again almost two years later loving it and i got a 46 minute ad with no skip

[@Todesbananez]

Forsaken are by far my favorite race in wow.

[@luisrobarillas2580]

Almost 3 years later, but this is one of the greatest videos I've watched... I love all the lore around Eastern Kingdoms... GREAT VIDEO

[@TuberoseKisser]

putress & Meryl is bae Meryl needs a unique model since he's kinda important.

[@TuberoseKisser]

And Godfrey, but not as much as putress

[@MadGnomeStudios]

Bae is the dumbest fucking word in the world. Are you 12 and the word is finally going around your middle school after the meme of it is already dead to most people?

[@MadGnomeStudios]

+AlexadoFeel I'm not trying to be a dick but my fiancé always types exist as excist and ignore and egnore so just so you know it's spelt exist :).

[@TuberoseKisser]

MadGnomeStudios lol someone is salty

[@Bluemushroom1]

[@Psoewish]

Watching this video in 2020 is kind of a treat with all we've learned about the story since.

[@ItachiZaku]

Big fans of Belmont and Nathanos. With Sylvanas as Warchief, I was hoping Belmont would be doing more.

[@deciduous_reaper]

He did and its on the Darkshore Warfront

[@chaoarnab]

Wow a lot of research is put into this one, loved the lore behind the characters

[@Mogura85]

lilian voss is sitting in the rogues orderhall reading papers near the mission map, guess she is looking for the last remaining scarlets

[@Hjortur95]

this is probably your best video god damn got me invested with every character i've never really heard of

[@jameshunter6289]

nice video, i enjoyed it. Shame blizz didnt do more with Voss, she was a rogue class hall follower on the beta but got scrapped. An interesting character

[@teamspeak9374]

Probably saving her for a potential new class later down the line

[@Letgoit2]

i cant wait for more

[@sherrigofdenmark2823]

This seems like the wisest thing to do, She would make a great base for a new Hero Class.

[@Omfgwhtavid]

Sherrig Ofdenmark i was just thinking the same thing!

[@andreaghiretti8189]

James Hunter well now she is

[@Marilynspook]

Awesome video, I really enjoyed it! Undead stories always get me thrilled, even though I haven't played WoW in 5 years

[@alexpershing907]

my character is my favorite forsaken in wow thankyew, thankyew :p

[@kingbenzington3082]

I think Master Apothecary Faranell deserved at least a mention here. Great video nevertheless, I enjoyed all 31 minutes of it.

[@phelanii4444]

i love these long lore videos! could you make a video like this for the other races too? maybe top 5s for the races that don't have as many cool characters as the undead.

[@geekmp3]

This is quite possibly your best video yet. Amazing job in edits, storyline, and RESEARCH! I loved every minute of it.

[@CarrowMind]

31 minute hirumaredx video? Let me put the kettle on... Dis gon' be gud!

[@Ndobless]

Finally I know who's that undead guy on the loading screen Alexi Barov. Great vídeo much obliged

[@madeofmeats]

Undead = Best race

[@magicmanscott40k]

Certified Coulrophile undead great. I love the starting area and lore. Great stuff.

[@EnderGoku9001]

Sylvanas says hi

[@shiftynou12]

Nice video. I played a lot of Undead during my time in WoW so I remembered some of the vanilla questing entries, but it was cool to learn more about Faol and Felstorm as I didn't know very much. Cheers!

[@CHRSS111]

Say what you want. But Warcraft lore is damn immense!

[@michalmajewski1886]

the music u put in ur videos make them literally twice as good :D keep it up love ur vids.

[@KildareGaming]

Great video, would be epic if you do this list for all races.

[@zoooszooos5006]

would take a long ass time to research everything, but would be really great

[@nadeemzafer6911]

That was one of the most thorough lore videos I have seen in a while. Great job! ;)

[@ts45wF3]

Finally! Some Alonsus Faol love.

[@matthewcleaver1514]

honestly even though you put so much time into this video and it may not make the views this was a very indepth video into the underpowered under-hyped characters in the undead Lore, i thoroughly enjoyed it considering i have most of my chars as undead (except shaman) and i've played the storylines through silverpine and so fourth

[@Asylummm]

Dear hiru, which program do you use for montage because intro got me like "dayum im gripped as fuck" :)

[@hirumaredx]

I use After Effects for my intros, and Sony Vegas for the rest of the video.

[@Asylummm]

Thanks for the answer:) Btw Im truly impressed about the effort put in this video. Im a small content creator but thinking of a video this long and full of information is just taking youtube stuff to another level. KZbin people in Poland are not even close to this level of detail in a lore video. Great job ^^ it was ton of fun to watch.

[@maciej567]

I really enjoyed the way this video was made. And as a someone who plays an Undead, its amazing.

[@Zeeth22716]

Meryl Felstorm is also the T5 Warlock Action Figure.

[@Darkmirror7]

When i was clicking on this video i was hoping that you'd not include Sylvanas and Arthas for obvious purposes, and you clearly did not disappoint!

[@joz298]

"uther the hearhstone character...."Didnt expect this from you

[@krel7160]

Didn't he add on to that with a reference to the fact that Uther, In hearthstone, is the paladin they used to exemplify/portray the ENTIRE class?

[@patrickb1303]

Lol you won’t see this comment cause this video is 5 yo but these videos have been a huge help to me. I have to travel for work and I’m on planes at like 3am all the time. These videos really let me tune out of the stress of always being on the move. Thanks

[@befree1797]

"save journey my love" - Nathanos, late 2019

[@5sweatingpalm]

KEEP THIS UP BRO! because of you, people who are new to wow can understand old lores!

[@wilprut]

lilian voss is based on a planeswalker from magic the gathering called "liliana vess"

[@magicmanscott40k]

Juan Carlos Alarcon oh! I knew that name felt familiar. Thanks

[@TAVROSH]

her story is different tho

[@Allyria920]

You are wrong. "Though commonly assumed to be a reference to Liliana Vess (a necromancer from Magic: The Gathering), Wryxian has stated that any similarities between the characters are coincidental"

[@jakedubiel8483]

Amanda Aguiar lol no, he can deny it all he wants but it dosent change it

[@Allyria920]

I also dont see any similarities between the 2 besides a minor name resemblance.

[@croatrisingcroatrising8257]

Thank you, after a long day of school I can unwind and watch your vids!

[@thegameskut7004]

is that a *[Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]* ?

[@chrys_stone8716]

Its nice to see the vanilla models and then the later expansion models where they increased the detail on them. :)

[@morbid1.]

Forsaken - the best race of them all

[@cld1472]

When you did Nathanos I was like hell yeah now I get to hear about the stuff with the Worgen.... and then nothing and I have no clue what that was all about. But hey good video.

[@AlexanderForsman]

Tip: Don't use Wowiki, always use Wowpedia insteed.

[@hirumaredx]

I do!

[@AlexanderForsman]

you referenced wowwiki as you talked about the lich, that's why.

[@endfinum]

maybe he meant "a" wow wiki... ;)

[@superkitten7560]

I love lore videos! I put them on in the background and listen while playing :)

[@Shaduula]

Isn't the reason that med'an doesn't appear in WoW because he is basically god status? Like if he would be around to help us we'd literally have no reason to be around because he could just snap a finger and deathwing/the old gods/anything would be obliterated?

[@DrPluton]

They basically gave him the powers of every class in the game. He's the ultimate Mary Sue character and would not work in World of Warcraft.

[@MrMeteos]

Yes he's a super mary sue. Which is why Blizz doesn't want him around and use snips from his comic to use in WoW lore while put it into a different story. i.e. Cho'Gal in cata, Felstorm's stuff. Khadgar is kind of taking his place.

[@DrPluton]

MrMeteos But Khadgar- though powerful- is still limited to things mages can do, not things every class can do combined.

[@frostyc2199]

Well we're gonna need something like that to take on Sargeras... :/

[@norvelled]

Not every class, but specifically a Paladin, Shaman and Mage. All at the same time. Oh, and he was the Guardian of Tirisfal for a time. Stupid ridiculous OP.

[@kingligglepuff6284]

I forgot slyvanas kinda died once in the worgen place , coming to your videos is amazing, because whenever i lvl an alt i try my best to spend time questing in zones to know them for the dungeons, and always wanted to know of the shadowkeep dungeon

[@Icewind416]

Where's the source for the Sylvanas artwork at the beginning of the video?

[@tessaxelisexX]

This was super awesome. Half of these I had never even heard of! Very interesting, loved the video!!

[@gorgiraffe]

link for the sylvanas pic? for research purposes ofc

[@gorgiraffe]

ok got it s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/81/0d/fa/810dfa1b0fe71b1e2ee83fce16533da8.jpg

[@TSLlol]

thank you, you are doing God's work, son.

[@gorgiraffe]

Oakenhunt proud to be attracted to sylvanas

[@harioschtroliki]

I honestly doubt that is even sylvanas

[@Yhdyssanakoe]

Best video yet. Forsaken, fuck yeah

[@Luuute]

4:26 Is that Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker? I think that's Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker

[@relaxedfish2344]

yeah I think that is thunderfury blessed blade of the windseeker, hey did anyone else see the thunderfury blessed blade of the windseeker

[@sandroguzelj1234]

no but i saw thunderfury blessed blade of the windseeker

[@Biouke]

You may be right, it looks quite a lot like Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. It may indeed be Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker really!

[@IndyX]

Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?

[@Achronos2006]

I love the concept of this video. Lore on some more minor chars. You should def do more with other races

[@aquaholic3774]

23:32 "The most strongest undead" wow.

[@GrumpyRook]

I know. What bothers me most about this channel, is that he has the communication skills of a grade schooler, that has never come in contact with another adult. He constantly mispronounces common words, uses odd inflections, and doesn't seem to understand how things SHOULD sound by default, and jumps to odd conclusions for pronunciations. It's just...baffling....

[@Ogahz94]

@@GrumpyRook nah his english fine and coherent, talk about hyperbole.

[@EffToyz]

Man, this is really good research in this video.

[@Aerophina]

Glory to the forsaken!

[@Whambow]

this video was incredible. i know you don't seem too keen on it cause of the work load/esoteric topic but it'd be great to see more videos that focus on smaller/overlooked lore characters (Which is something that other lore channels tend to stray away from)

[@Regunes]

Nothing that important, but maybe you could add in your video who killed Nathanos. Ramstein the Gorger, that pack of flesh in Stratholme.

[@zethraelofteldrassil3149]

This video was amazing. Your knowledge of WOW lore is even *more* amazing. Thank you for the research time spent. I love the backstories!

what about helcular?

[@myShevchenko]

Best lore video I've watched in a long time. Its nice to hear about the big guys like Arthas and Illidan, but stories like these 10 remind me how rich the world of Warcraft actually is. Incredible job!

[@MegaObeZara]

lilian voss is a DK in legion. When you start the frostartefact quest you see her when you walk to ice crown! :))

[@zachcohen8279]

MegaObeZara That would be Minerva RavenSorrow, Lilian Voss is a part of the Rogue Order Hall

[@aaronbrungardt6603]

Kudos on putting Nathanos #1. That was one tough SOB to fight in the Eastern Plaguelands in vanilla. He had a some undead puppies to help him. Also what made the fight tough was that zone was a PvP area, and fighting Nathanos made you PvP as well, which many horde players would camp and help the Champion of the Banshee when some unfortunate alliance player came along to pick a fight. So fun... Can anyone on the vanilla server say if Nathanos is there at Marris Stead? That alone is reason enough to join that server.

[@sherrigofdenmark2823]

Sylvanas is by no means evil, she is one of the most cunning and powerful leaders of the Warcraft universe, but deep down she is really not much more than a hardened and traumatized young elf that fears death and struggles desperately to survive. This is one of the reasons that she is one of my favorite characters in WoW.

[@aggressivesetwas1419]

Sylvanas isent very powerfull

[@jamesclayton4378]

lol NUB have you no understanding of the fact she is a Banshee?

[@aggressivesetwas1419]

James Clayton the only "strong" thing on banshees is that they can fly. ..

[@Vgpl0]

Some people must've missed out on the BFA cinematic if they think Sylvanas is weak. She'd slap the shit out of Genn, that's for sure.

[@ahmedchami5633]

Sylvanas is more than a banshee after all not all banshees get to have two forms and sylvanas is not evil but she does evil things to help her people and is by no means the next garrosh as well as she is not traumatized more or less she is obssesd with death since she became undead and she is not young after all zombies do not age

[@Wheva]
