==History==
Anub'arak debuted in [[Warcraft III]], in the Scourge campaign. Before joining the Scourge, he was a  Nerubian living in the kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, up in the lands of Northrend. As the former [[monarch|King]] of [[Azjol-Nerub]], Anub'arak was among the [[Nerubian|Nerubians]] slaughtered in the [[War of the Spider]] who were ritually [[mummy|mummified]]. When Azjol-Nerub was crushed and the surviving Nerubians scattered, [[Ner'zhul|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.  

==Role as a henchman of Arthas==
Anub'arak was sent south to meet [[Arthas Menethil]] when he arrived at Icecrown. Anub'arak saved the dark prince from an attack by [[Blood Elf|Blood Elves]] before he introduced himself and told Arthas of Ner'zhul's plans. Anub'arak helped Arthas to establish a [[military base|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 expansiv(contracted; show full)

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