In the fictional [[Warcraft universe]], '''Anub'arak''' is the bodyguard of [[Arthas Menethil|King Arthas]] in [[Northrend]].

{{spoiler}}
==History==
Anub'arak debuted in [[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]], 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 King of Azjol-Nerub, Anub'arak was among the [[Nerubian|Nerubians]]s 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. 
     
(contracted; show full)as, 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 [[obelisk
|obelisks]]s surrounding Icecrown's pinnacle. Finally, all four were active, and Anub'arak stood by as Arthas climbed the stairs to his destiny.

==Anub'arak in ''World of WarCraft''==
Anub'arak, presumably still in Northrend, has not made an appearance in ''World of Warcraft''. He is mentioned in the backstory to Patch 1.11, involving the opening of [[Naxxramas]] - Kel'Thuzad's fortress. According to the story posted on the WoW website, entitled "Road to Damnation", Anub'arak led Kel'Thuzad through Naxxramas, showing him the Lich King's experiments with undeath. It is believed that when a Northrend expansion comes out he will be a raid boss.
