Theldren Theldren is a level 60 elite Dwarf who hangs out at the arena Ring of the Law in Blackrock Depths . He is the leader of several gladiators which he participates along with in the arena . As seen from his abilities , Theldren is clearly a Warrior . Background . Both Theldren and his gladiators were once members of the mercenary - company The Veiled Blade . After the failed attempt at ( completely ) killing Lord Valthalak , Theldren left the company with a piece of Lord Valthalak ' s amulet and some of the other former members to become gladiators for the Dark Iron dwarfs in Blackrock Depths . According to Anthion Harmon , another of the former members of The Veiled Blade , Theldren beat him to an inch of his life when Anthion tried to retrieve Theldren ' s amulet - piece as Anthion had realised the curse behind it . As such , Theldren is a very violent and egocentric dwarf . Not either concerned with honor and good sportsmanship , he tries to never fight in a fair fight . His idea of a good fight is where he already knows he will win before it even starts . Still , he is a bit of a hot - head and will rush into a fight if his family ' s honor is being mocked . Strategy . Theldren and his fellow gladiators can be summoned using a Banner of Provocation . The Arena Spoils will be lootable after their defeat . Theldren ' s team of gladiators includes : Notice that not all his gladiators can join him at the same time . He is always accompanied by four of them , and it is random which of them it is . If a player wish to fight all of them , it will require at minimum 2 fights with Theldren ( only one fight may be fought each Blackrock Depths - run , thus instance will have to be reset ) . The fight with Theldren and his gladiators is unique compared to many other boss - fights . While most bosses found in 5 - man instances know on average 2 - 3 abilities , the members of Theldren ' s group know about 6 - 7 each . Many of the abilities are also used by player - controlled classes , rather than being unique abilities specific to a unique NPC as with most other bosses . This makes the members of Theldren ' s group similar to real players . Furthermore , the varying purposes of their abilities ( some are CC , some are AoE , etc . ) and the apparent class - roles of the members both in visual looks and acting ( Va ' jashni is a priest healer , Volida is a ranged mage DPS , etc . ) makes Theldren ' s group resemble an organized group of real enemy players , almost as when in an Battleground . Because of this , some players claim that the fight is more PvP - like than PvE . This may be intended as Theldren and all his gladiators are also immune to taunts , which is one of the most basic features of PvE while almost nonexistent in PvP . This style of encounter was later repeated in " " with Priestess Delrissa in Magisters ' Terrace , and in " " with the Faction Champions in Trial of the Crusader . Quotes . Aggro : Trivia . Theldren is mentioned in the book . This is given to the player along with a Brazier of Invocation as rewards later in the Dungeon Set 2 quest line . What is being described is how a player completing the quests will keep the Banner of Provocation and may use it to summon Theldren and his gladiators in Blackrock Depths as many times as he / she wants . " " As a side note , because I know that you ' ll be interested in knowing , the Banner of Provocation can be used in similar fashion at the arena in Blackrock Depths . Be sure to teach Theldren and his goons a lesson for me every time you get a chance when you ' re there . " "
