Death Knight is the name of two distinct orders of powerful necromancers. These orders share a few things in common, including riding horses with horned skulls for heads and some similar abilities.
The death knights of the
Second War were powerful
undead necromancers created by
Gul'dan to replace the
warlocks slaughtered by
Orgrim Doomhammer. The first and most prominent of the death knights was
Teron Gorefiend.
A new order of death knights emerged during the Third War, in service to The Lich King. They were created from living and undead humans (and occasionally other races) who had been granted unholy runeblades, and most were former paladins who had forsaken the Holy Light.
