Blarus Whitrick Blarus Whitrick , like most of his fellow Forsaken , hates the Scourge . The Lich King afflicted him with undeath , murdered his family , and destroyed his country . Blarus studied wizard ry to gain personal power , all the while concocting plans to defeat the Scourge . Finally , he realized that only one force ever held control over the Lich King : the Burning Legion . Blarus knew that trafficking with demons was exceedingly dangerous , but could think of no better solution . So , he carefully studied warlock magic . Blarus planned to use the Legion to destroy the Lich King — or at least decimate the Scourge to the point where the forsaken could overcome it . Eventually , he realized he would need help , so he spread a few rumors that drew a handful of acolyte s to his side . Unfortunately , these rumors also attracted the attentions of Varimathras , Undercity ' s dreadlord protector . Varimathras ' forces raided Blarus ' lab , and the warlock and his surviving apprentices fled the city . Blarus and his coven wandered for a time , avoiding forsaken patrols and searching for a new base . During this time , Blarus came into contact with Mael Shelub , a nerubian necromancer who seemed interested in defeating the Scourge . Mael offered his services to Blarus , who readily accepted . The group settled in Gaval Moch , a ruined castle in Silverpine Forest . Blarus ' continued experiments again drew a dreadlord ' s attention . This creature was Ganthrifal , a nathrezim who had been skulking about Silverpine since the forsaken took Undercity . Ganthrifal spied on Blarus and concluded that this silly warlock could be useful . The dreadlord pretended to be called by one of Blarus ' spells and assisted the forsaken in his studies . With Ganthrifal ' s help , Blarus called a few other demons , and his acolytes made great strides in their magical studies . Ganthrifal fed Blarus ' delusions , and the warlock believed he controlled the demon . Things were going well , until some ogre s attacked the castle and were driven off to village of Deadhollow . The ogres wanted to use the village as a base , since Blarus ' forces denied them Gaval Moch . Ganthrifal ' s disobedience also made Blarus doubt the loyalties of the demons the dreadlord helped him summon , and he kept a wary eye on those beings . Blarus always has a few anti - demon spells ( protection from evil , hooks of binding and the like ) prepared just in case . A group of adventures invaded Gavel Moch , after the ogres attacked Deadhollow , in order to stop Blarus and his allies plans . After they made it to his room , Blarus was nervous and edgy . He did not think to parley with strangers , though when they initiated a discussion he willingly took part . Blarus is not evil — he is simply trying to do what he thinks best to destroy a powerful enemy . The heroes were able to draw out his entire story . What the heroes decided to do with this information is unknown . However , combat occured , and during the battle he was injured , Blarus uses his scroll of greater teleport to escape . Apparently the heroes convinced Blarus of his error , and later he asked them to assist him in overthrowing the Lich King by other means .
