The dreadlords: cunning, vampiric demons who serve the Legion through deceit.

The nathrezim prefer whispers to open war. The Legion set dreadlords such as Mal'Ganis, Tichondrius and Balnazzar to watch over the Lich King and guide the Scourge’s conquest of Lordaeron. When the Lich King broke free of them they scattered, yet some still hide in plain sight: Balnazzar wears the face of the Scarlet Crusade’s Grand Crusader.
