The Story of Kel'Thuzad - Part 2 of 2 [Lore] 

"So, you're not upset about me killing you that one time?" -Arthas

Kel'Thuzad has like the best voice actor in my opinion

"Your victory is a hollow one!" "Wait, victory is a tree? Where do they sell the seeds?"

Good job nobbel on the lore behind the Archlich of Naxxramas! Lich Lord of the Plaguelands, Commander of the Dread Necropolis! Master, founder of the Cult of the Damned, Formerly of the Council of Six... Summoner of Archimonde the Defiler! The Betrayer of Humanity! Hearthstone Enthusiast, and Majordomo to the Lich King himself, KEL'THU-freaking-ZAD.

As I played through Warcraft 3, I always loved how much of a bro KT was. Definitely my favorite duo.

They still contain some part of their humanity , I really love this! they say you should love no one and no one loves you but KT obviously loved his cat, and Arthas had Jaina's locket in his possession.

I actually destroyed his phylactery in vanilla instead of completing the quest so that he wouldnt come back in wrath. Wtf blizz?

"No cats were harmed during the raid"

I would love to see a world of Warcraft Anime.....The way they made Kelthuzad look in the animation was amazing!

to be fair Kel'thuzad wasnt lying about coming back more OP

Of course I played well, I'm Kel'Thu-Freaking-Zad!

KT was pretty damned powerful when he came out in HotS but nowadays I don't see a lot of him. Popular damage dealers are more on the lines of Jaina and Kael. I hear he was very hard to play actually.

"Kel'Thuzad had such a good reprisal in Shadowlands!" -Some Blizzard Staff, 2021

Personally, I find him the best villain in Warcraft

A Scourge/undead lore vidoe just in time for Christmas!! Nice!

Nobbel we already got a rezzed Illidan story KT is a definite option in the future, I'm glad you're giving Blizzard more ideas to keep the game alive, also great work man

I find funny how Tychondrius says "Not powerful enough to escape death" about Medivh If Sargeras could hear him...

That animation was lit son

Warcraft comics got some pretty fantastic art.

I love you. Thank you. I needed this. Have a great week my friend.

Warcraft 3 is such a good game. I hope it gets re mastered kind of like what they did with StarCraft 1

I think Bolvar is protecting Kel'Thuzad because he is still useful, he's also recruiting the death knights so yeah Bolvar is planning something big.

That Dr. Evil sound clip caught me so off guard I died and was reanimated instantly. I now serve the Lich King. Thanks.

oh i am excited to play these missions in the reforged version soon :)

Was that his cat bigglsworth as a pet???

of course i played well im kethu fricking zad. BEST KELTHUZAD QUOTE, EVER

I was one of the few that got to see the inside and raid it before it was nerfed into whatever you want to call it today for Wrath. It was a different time.

I am on break so now I can watch it without being without being sleepless, HAH!

As usual amazing amazing work

imagine Kel'Thuzad and Teron Gorefiend teaming up :o

Kneel before Zad! Why aint we calling him Zad in HOTS yet? im glad they brought the OG voice actor to HS and Hots the voice in wow is weird.

I just realized kel'thuzad's phylactery was King terenas's urn

I know maybe a bunch of ppl ask for this but, can you do some Lore videos about Lor'themar? It's been a while I'm waiting to you to such thing, since you are the best doing this kind of videos! :) Thanks for all the effort you put in your works, for us. You are awesome!

Bolvar could use a servant as powerful as Kel'thuzad.

i loved these 2 videos man! very well done and entertaining!

I always thought that "Phalactery of the nameless lich" that dropped from Sindragosa in ICC was actually Kel'Thuzad's. So its location is currently in the pretty trinket collection of some adventurer.

Yeah my lore senpaiiiiiiii is back

Necromancer class confirmed.

It would be pretty twisted if Bolvar brought Kel'thuzad back to life

Admiral Taylor's garrison. "The master" they speak of must be Kel'thuzad!

Thank you for sharing Nobbel... Love your lore's :)

"... AND VERY HANDSOME" I burst out laughing my ass off

Another good piece of lore

"Assassins, Its a *trap* !"

19:55 yeah until he gets ganked by someone running circles around him lol.

kel'thuzad voice is soo epic god i wish if i get old i want to be that kind of voice. or pudge

tbh i dont like his voice acting in naxx

do you think its possible that ner'zhul know illidan would become what he is now when he directed him to the skull of guldan. maybe he know illidan would be the one to defeat the legion and used him as a way of getting revenge. this rabbit hole goes WAY to deep man D:

Imagine if Sylvanas brought about the Shadowlands expansion just so she can finally torture Arthas like she wanted.

Whosyourdaddy. Nobbel are you cheating?

Hey for taking WC3 cinematics for videos, I suggest turning down the volume for the background music. Could barely hear Sylvanas

Naxx wings are like the houses of the necrolords

Can you do a series on all the premop legendaries?

LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MISTER BIGGLESWORTH *MEEOW*

back in the old days i was collcting trophy from bosses, like the quest starting item onyxias head, the eye from cthun and so on, but badly i never was able to get the urne from kelthuzad

It's very sad that Kel'Thuzad changed from the right hand of prince arthas, one of the center characters in the entire lich king's plan, to being demoted to a guard of a important place and them literally "a boss in a quest". I really love Warcraft lore, but the more i look at WOW, the more i think that WOW actually don't have a good lore and don't do any good for the characters we love.

Great videos

Detailed lore on the Mag'har of Outlands? Origins, aftermath of the Burning Crusade, etc?

I really enyoyed the story of kel thuzad can you please do the story of naxramas

My hypothesis: Sylvanas will become the lich queen and Kel Thuzad will return to pledge his loyalty to the heir of the frozen throne, etc, etc

his voice acting was way better in warcraft3, as was many things. Man I really wish they would make a warcraft4

Kel'Thuzad for new Death Knight champion.

Bloody "Coup" as in chicken coup.. lol i think you meant coup, pronounced cou, the p is silent.

@nobbel87 can you tell me who are those guardians protecting frostmourne from people like Arthas to use it old gods minions,? Or void lords or legion related? And this portal they take is this something like we use for the invasions?

10:46 what you say simply cant be seen as truth. If it was like that he would have worded it differently. New lore cant overwrite the old one. The fact that Arthas considered Kelthuzad as a friend is canon by the stron gest of canons, by the game that first introduced them. They can make 1000 new books yet they change nothing in the end. Not this and not the fact that Arthas said once "no one can capture and kill my people" as a deathknigh.

Do tess greymane next please if theres anything interesting

is it just me or does the azeroth map ingame look kinda... "stretched"

I gotta say kel'thuzad had great voice actors in heroes of the storm and warcraft 3 but i can't say I like his voice in Wow that much

Hey nobble :D Im watching ir videos for long time but altough i have made several researches and rewatched some of ur videos i couldnt get a certain amswer. So i decided yo ask it from you yourself. How can u describe the Naxxaramas attack when it was in plaguelands wich occured in classic wow.I know its a mixture of both comic and game since in wotlk they talk about once defeating kelthuzad himself and now he is reformed and it means there was another attack on naxxaramas beside darion's party.and they also talk about darion's sacrifice wich shows that his journy to naxx is canon too but it makes some events none canon in game like player getting the ashbringer to monastery . Im gonna say my own oponion then I will be happy to hear yours too please help me to understand lore better Darion's party attacked naxx killed all 4 horsmen expect Zeliek Then darion escaped the necropolis and then the lights hope invasion and darion sacrificing blah blah Now my thoughts about the raid wich happen after darion's raid is that Kelthuzad ressurected all of bosses darion has killed (grobolus,thadius,anubrekhan and lady blaumeux and Thane Korthaz .since zeliek had already survived and he was not able to reanimate Alexandrous due to his soul now freed.) It actually makes sense since it was said Kelthuzad had a great necromancy power able to raise powerful undeads with no effort gifted to him by the lich king wich will be later given to Deathlord.but since they could not ressurect Alexandrous the leader of millitary quarter,and also the just reanimated bosses were at their weakest situation Naxxaramas was not at its full power and Argent Dawn tried to use this opportunity to strike at Naxxaramas so Ellis the Dawnbringer (maybe im wrong about name) gathered amd instructed players to invade Naxxaramas(I assume they still tried to enter it like assassins without drawing too much attention of full power of naxxaramas bcs its just stupid 40 champions overwhelm the whole necropolis)and they actually fought 3 of the horsemen.then they killed kelthu freaking zad and the quest line for making him completely gone begin. Its what i thought of considering both game and comic as canon. Sorry for long post so now I want to know whats ur oponion about these events.do u consider both of them canon too?

Can we get origin of gengreymane video

Hey nobbel, about the launching of the new wow why did it escalate so quickly? Is there anything I’ve missed?

Okay so... do we go in with Darion into Naxrammus or was it separate raids in Vanilla?

16:16 *DAT Austin Powers Reference*

I very much enjoy you Lore videos Nobbel, so i started my own wow lore channel next to my primary star wars lore channel :) It's called the crossroads inn, would be very much appreciated if i could hear your thoughts on it :)

what's that music when Archimonde was summoned in the dimensional gate?

it could've been an epic movie

Now that we have Bolivar has the new lich king does that mean kt would be on his side now?

It will be nice if he returns and try to ressurect Arthas.

Who decided to change Kel'Thuzad´s voice in WOTLK?

Is his phylactery not destroyed in the Borean Tundra quest line? The one where you find it in a small pool of water?

NOTIFICATION SQUAD, WADD UP LORE LOVERS?!

do an episode on Nemsy

feel like im too early.

When Kel'Thuzad's phylactery is destroyed, will he go to Hell for good?

16:03 *NOOOOOOOO YOU MONSTER*

Nobbel87 Do you think Kel'Thuzad could be in league with the Old Gods?

Lore Squad Fall in This is Senior Sargent SquishyFace Reporting!

Maybe it's time for a third part with Kel'Thuzad in Maldraxxus?

Make a Lore of Patches Turn one draw Patches "I am in Charge" XD

Mr.bigglesworth was the true last boss of naxx

"Give my regards to hell you son of a bitch." I now support Sylvanys fully. That was badass.

Side note, the 'p' in 'coup' is silent.

So kel'thuzad will return?

The "p" in "coup" is silent btw. It's said exactly the same way as "coo".

Leave Kelly alone, stop killing him

Nobel! U have a dam voice!

hope we get to see him in the next expansion in the Death Knight order hall xD one can only dream... dont fuck it up Blizzard >:C

If we ever see KT again, he I doubt it'll be normal KT. It sounds like he has ulterior motives. It would be interesting if he was somehow working with the void to get even more power. A void infused KT would be pretty badass. Even if he was twisted by the Old Gods against his will. I mean we see bosses like Skorpyron & Chronomatic anomaly as products of their environment. I feel like he could be one of those 'environmental bosses'. Perhaps he even hid his phylactery near an imprisoned Old God, after learning what was inevitable.

Part 3 of 3: Blizzard made bright character in Warcraft 3 and poo on him in HotS and Hearthstone.
