Lord of the Neburian forces under Arthas's control, Anub'arak is one of Arthas's most loyal servents. He once was the king of the great Neubrian Empire before the Lich King wiped them out. When the Lich King revived the Neburians, Anub'arak pledge his loyalites to him and served as one of his greatest generals.

Anub'arak first met Arthas when he and his Neburian warriors killed three dragonhawk riders. After that the two joined forces and batttled a blue dragon that they turned into a great frost wyrm, Seperoth.

When Illidan was massing his forces on Icecrown Glacier, Anub'arak quided Arthas through the old Neburian cities as a shortcut to Icecrown and battled along side Arthas as he became the Lich KingThe former King of Azjol-Nerub, Anub'arak was among the Nerubians slaughtered in the War of the Spider who were ritually mummified. When Azjol-Nerub was crushed and the surviving Nerubians scattered, Ner'zhul the Lich King raised the high lords of the spider kingdom as undead to do his bidding, and Anub'arak was among them. 

Now a malicious Crypt Lord, Anub'arak used his powers to purge the snow swept landscape of any remaining resistance to the reign of the Lich King. Despite the pleas from his former subjects, he massacred many Nerubians who stood in his way. 

Anub'arak was sent south to meet Arthas when he arrived at Icecrown. Anub'arak saved the dark prince from an attack by blood elves before he introduced himself and told Arthas of Ner'zhul's plans. Anub'arak helped Arthas to establish a base and masterminded the attack on Sapphiron. Anub'arak told Arthas that it would take far too long to fight their way through the Kael and Vashj's expansive forces, and formulated a plan to go through the underground ruins of Azjol-Nerub to reach Icecrown, but warned that it would be a perilous journey. 

Anub'arak led Arthas into the ruined spider kingdom, negating many perilous traps along the way, but all the while, he fought many of his former subjects, the living Nerubians, who called him the traitor king for serving the Lich King, who had destroyed Nerub. 

As they entered the kingdom, they encountered survivors of Muradin's expedition, now led by Baelgun, who reported that an ancient evil had been released beneath the kingdom, and that they would not allow any to open the Inner Kingdom's doors. Anub'arak and Arthas destroyed the troublesome dwarves and broke into the Inner Kingdom. Soon, they came upon the evil the dwarves had spoken of - the Faceless Ones - strange, malformed creatures who had been imprisoned beneath the earth in ages long forgotten. They even faced off with a Forgotten One, a creature of great power and resilience. 

Upon entering the Upper Kingdom, an earthquake separated Anub'arak from Arthas, and Anub'arak and his minions dug fervently through the rubble to get to Arthas before he killed himself in one of the many booby traps laden throughout the halls of Nerub. Impressed at Arthas' resilience, when he found him, Anub'arak quickly ushered him out of Nerub and to the surface, where they were immediately engaged with Illidan and his servants in a battle for the Frozen Throne. 

Anub'arak was quick to the battle, defending Arthas as he magically activated the four obelisks surrounding Icecrown's pinnacle. Finally, all four were active, and Anub'arak stood by as Arthas climbed the stairs to his destiny.
