Darion Mograine

By:
Last Updated:

He is the son of Alexandros Mograine and a former knight of the Argent Dawn. He came into possession of Corrupted Ashbringer after killing his father in Naxxramas as part of a failed rescue plan carried out by some members of the Argent Dawn and used it to kill himself and free his father's soul. He became a death knight of the Scourge.

For this concept I wanted to do two things. One, be faithful to the Unholy Death Knight class in World of Warcraft, and two, successfully create a hero that deals damage through sustained area damage and slows. I don't want him to be bursty, but bring the enemy teams health down over a long winded team fights, making it difficult for healers to keep up as the team fight becomes longer. He is a specialist in the same manner that Nazeebo is a specialist.

Darion Mograine is a melee specialist that excels at sustained area damage by spreading disease across the battlefield and infecting his enemies.
