Arthas is the most tragic hero in the Warcraft series.

His father was an outstanding king when he was young and had good relations with his neighbors (elves and orcs).

Arthas was born in this era, the only prince and the much-anticipated new hope of mankind.

He learned to fight under the teaching of Muradin dwarves when he was a child, and then followed Archmage Anthony to Quel'Thalas to receive magic training, and met Jaina and Calthas.

Calthus had a crush on Jaina, but Jaina chose Arthas in the end.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon Arthas returned to the kingdom under the king's order.

Then he served as the captain of a poor paladin, the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

The head Uther admired him very much, but found that the prince was too young and restless.

Although the prince was a perfect prince on the surface, he was stubborn and conceited in his heart. Uther saw this and did not give him the position and power to mobilize the knights for a long time.

And Alsace was also very brooding about this deep in his heart.

Time flies, Chief Thrall had a dream, and the prophet guided him to Kalimdor, another continent. The change of the orcs alarmed the humans, and the prince was ordered to go to a certain village to do reconnaissance and assessment work.

Later, Arthas discovered the orc's Blackstone tribe and defeated it. During the pursuit, he found clues of the plague, and followed Jaina together, and finally found the trace of the undead and killed the little leader. Kel'Thuzad.

However, the plague spread through food. The prince realized the fragility and helplessness of life after defending the town, and he longed for greater power in his heart.

Uther arrived in time to save him, and the prince also hated Uther for not giving him cavalry troops, which caused the current situation.

Soon, he discovered that the residents of a city had eaten infected food. In order to eliminate them before they became sick, the prince prepared to bloodbath the city, but the stubborn Uther once questioned his words, and when the prince was in the worst mood When things got complicated, his lover Gianna left him, causing him to fall completely into the abyss of reason.

In the end, the enemy Dreadlord stood up and asked him to seek revenge on him in Northenland in the north. Into the mad prince, he didn't think about traps and other things at all, and led his troops to advance north.

On the way to Northernland, the prophet Medivh came forward and wanted the prince to go to the continent of Kalendor with the orcs to deal with the upcoming disaster, but the prince had lost his mind and did not listen to him.

After entering Northrend, the prince, who had no supplies, met his childhood teacher Muradin. There, Muradin told him the sad news of the magic sword Frost. Hearing that the sword has great power, the prince was moved.

After going through hardships, the prince finally got the magic sword, but the sudden burst of magic power instantly occupied his mind, and at the same time caused Muradin's death.

In the end, the prince used this sword to kill the Dread Lord, but his entire soul was absorbed by the sword as a price, and he became the best warrior under the Lich King.

Then the prince returned to the capital, killed his father in celebration of his triumphant return, and at the same time the undead army invaded the human empire in an all-out way.

After fully occupying Lordaeron, the prince met Kel'Thuzad again. Kel'Thuzad told him about the Burning Legion and asked him to go to the Sunwell of Quel'Thalas to resurrect it and let it complete the ritual to let The leader of the Burning Legion, Archimonde, appears.

Eventually after killing Antony, Archimonde was brought into this world and destroyed Quel'Thalas.

And Archimonde thinks that the undead are just small people, and they don't want them when they are used up.

In order to gain his own status and power, the prince followed the instructions of the Lich King to lure the demon hunter Illidan to obtain the power of the demon head in order to destroy the Burning Legion.

In the end, with the joint efforts of humans, night elves, and orcs, Archimonde was wiped out, and the Burning Legion began to collapse.

At this moment, another leader of the Burning Legion, Kil'jaeden, found the demon hunter Illidan and asked him to go to the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the Frozen Throne where the Lich King was at the price of giving him power. But it failed under the intervention of the night elves and was forced to flee.

After fleeing, Illidan was once again threatened by Kil'jaeden, so he could only lead the army to destroy the Frozen Throne himself.

The threatened Lich King urgently asked the prince to return to Northrend to escort him.

In the final battle, the prince defeated Illidan, but the power of the Lich King was about to disappear. In the end, the prince stepped onto the Frozen Throne, merged with the Lich King, and became the new Lich King.

To put it simply, Alsace was originally the prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the brave and selfless paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Later, in order to protect the people of his homeland, he was bewitched by the Lich King. Due to disagreements, he became hostile to his mentor and lover.

Under the impact of the strong desire for revenge, he picked up the cursed weapon, the ancient magic sword that can swallow other people's souls - Frostmourne.

Arthas gained power from it, but became a death knight who believed in darkness.

After that, he killed his father and seized the throne, turning the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron into a hell on earth, and finally stepped on the Frozen Throne and merged with the Lich King to become the new Lich King.
