A blue dragon who was killed by Arthas and Anub-arak as the pair made their way towards the underground caverns of Northrend. Sapphiron was later resurrected as a frost wyrm and, under the control of Arthas, helped him clear the entrance of the caverns by killing the guard dwarves. He was left behind together with the other flying undead creeps to guard the entrance because the caverns were too small for flight. He is currently tasked with protecting Kel’Thuzad’s inner chamber within the necropolis Naxxramas, serving as the penultimate boss before the showdown with the lich himself.

An Archmage of Dalaran who dwelled in the Quel’Thalassian Capital of Silvermoon. When the Undead Scourge laid siege to the city, Arcanister resisted in every way possible. Seeing that the battle was ending and that his comrades were far outnumbered, Arcanister fled with a handful of survivors to Dalaran in order to warn the Kirin Tor. When Arthas and Kel’Thuzad made their inevitable journey to Dalaran, the Mages were more than ready for them. The Mages had constructed a shield-type spell that drained the evil energy of the Undead Scourge and for a time the Undead were unable to attack the city. However, this spell had to be maintained by 3 Archmages, and Arcanister was one of them. Arcanister guarded the Gates of Dalaran and maintained the shield and held off the Scourge for a brief period. However, the Undead used devious tactics to combat the Wizards and humans of Dalaran and Arthas was eventually able to kill the Archmage. The other 2 mages resisted for a period but were also murdered by the teeming Undead Armies. With their deaths came the loss of Dalaran. Arcanister was a prolific and benevolent Mage who is remembered as a hero of the Human Alliance.
