'''Nefarian''', also known as '''Blackwing''', was the eldest son of [[Deathwing]]<ref>[http://media.worldofwarcraft.com/movies/video_loader/wow_video.htm?vid=nefarian_en&dir=movies/nefarian&rating=wow Official WoW Gameplay Trailer: Blackwing Lair]</ref> and his Prime Consort [[Sintharia]]. Like his father and his sister [[Onyxia]], he had a human guise, appearing as '''[[Victor Nefarius]]''', Lord of Blackrock. Holding the [[Blackrock clan]] and various clans of [[ogre]]s under his control, Nefarian ruled from [[Blackwing Lair|his lair]] at the top of [[Blackrock Spire]] until he was defeated by [[adventurer|champions of Azeroth]]. Upon the return of his father and the [[Shattering]] that resulted, Nefarian was brought back to life as a rotted abomination, and [[Blackwing Descent|descended further]] into [[Blackrock Mountain]], where he set up a laboratory full of new (and mostly failed) experiments - including reanimating his sister Onyxia. Ultimately, he was destroyed once again by Azeroth's champions.

==Background==
  +
[[File:Nefarian Monster Guide.jpg|thumb|Nefarian in ''Monster Guide'']]
  +
The [[black dragonflight]] was among the greatest threats to mortal life the world has ever known. Led by the fallen Aspect, [[Deathwing]], the black dragons ravaged and subverted the kingdoms of humanity and elves for generations. Yet, during the Battle of [[Grim Batol]] (nearly fifteen years ago), Deathwing was defeated by his fellow [[Aspect]]s — though he managed to escape complete destruction at their hands. Whether he was eventually captured by the other Aspects or is merely hiding in seclusion, it is clear he has no direct control over his diabolical flight.
  +
  +
Since Deathwing's departure, his eldest children have arisen to lead their brethren and recoup their failing numbers. Deathwing's eldest son, the malicious and cunning Nefarian, has claimed the burning fortress of [[Blackrock Spire]] — and [[Blackwing Lair]] as his aerie.
  +
  +
Nefarian has been experimenting with the blood of all of the various dragonflights to create a [[chromatic dragonflight]] of unstoppable warriors. In this task he has succeeded his father, and aided by his [[Onyxia|sister]], he plans to use them to rally the Black Dragonflight to his command.
  +
  +
In Blackrock, aided by his loyal [[dragonspawn]], he fights a constant battle with [[Ragnaros]] and his forces for control of the mountain, and ultimately control of the entire region. To this end, he made efforts to bolster his forces like his father Deathwing in ages past. Nefarian delights in capturing Ragnaros' elemental minions and using them for his own insidious purposes.
  +
  +
He has struck up an alliance with [[Rend Blackhand]], though he only uses him and his [[Dark Horde]] to further his own goals. Nefarian's mad bid for dominance has even attracted the ire of the [[red dragonflight]] — in the form of the red dragon [[Vaelastrasz]] — which has always been the Black flight's greatest foe. Though Nefarian's intentions are known, the methods he is using to achieve them remain a mystery.
  +
  +
With the black dragonflight once again under solid leadership, and with the support of these new chromatic dragons, he plans to strike back against the other dragonflights, as well as the mortal nations of the world.

  +
{{wow-section}}
  +
Nefarian appeared in ''World of Warcraft'' as the final encounter in [[Blackwing Lair]], implemented in [[patch 1.6]].
  +
  +
The [[Head of Nefarian]] begins the quest {{quest|The Lord of Blackrock|The Lord of Blackrock}} for the Horde and the Alliance. It drops from Nefarian in [[Blackwing Lair]]. Like the [[Head of Onyxia]], Nefarian's head may be delivered either to [[King Varian Wrynn]] in [[Stormwind]] for the Alliance or [[Garrosh Hellscream]] in [[Orgrimmar]] for the Horde. Wrynn will send you to [[Field Marshal Afrasiabi]] in the Valley of Heroes, while Thrall will send you to [[Overlord Runthak]] near the gates of Orgrimmar.

Turning in the head grants everyone in the city the [[Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer]].

  +
{{bc-section}}
  +
With the coming of [[Patch 2.1.0]], it seems that Nefarian had died in-universe. [[Lady Sinestra]], added in the patch, says during an event involving her and a [[Dragonmaw Clan|Dragonmaw]] [[fel orc]] named [[Overlord Mor'ghor]]:
  +
  +
:''You have no doubt heard about Nefarian's failures on Azeroth...While he has fallen, the experiment continues. My master...He continues the work that his progeny began.''
  +
  +
This seems to imply that Nefarian is dead, or at least presumed dead by the [[black dragonflight]].
  +
  +
===Wrath of the Lich King===
  +
{{wotlk-section}}
  +
It is also implied that the adventurers defeated Nefarian, as [[Varok Saurfang]] mentions that he put the [[head of Nefarian]] on a pike. (if the player has turned in the [[head of Nefarian]])<ref>{{quest|The Defense of Warsong Hold}}</ref>
  +
  +
===Night of the Dragon===
  +
{{novel-section}}
  +
During the book [[Night of the Dragon]], [[Kalecgos]] and [[Krasus]] reveal that Nefarian, the eldest and most powerful of Deathwing's children, had been slain by brave fighters. Kalec later mentions to [[Dargonax]] that Nefarian's mother, [[Sintharia]], abandoned him to his enemies after he failed her (though considering the circumstances, it's possible that Kalec twisted the truth to try and turn Dargonax against Sintharia).<ref>''[[Night of the Dragon]]'', pgs.143,207</ref>
  +
  +
[[Sintharia]], Nefarian's Mother and creator of [[Dargonax]] and the [[Twilight Dragonflight]], referred to Dargonax as Nefarian on a few different occasions.<ref>''[[Night of the Dragon]]'', pg.206</ref> While never really explained a few different opinions could be speculated. One that Nefarian's body or essence was used to create Dargonax or that Dargonax is Nefarian resurrected. Sinestra shows spite towards both Onyxia and Nefarian throughout the novel and so one could infer that she is not referring to Dargonax with motherly love of Nefarian. At the end of the book it is assumed that Dargonax and [[Sinestra]] are both killed, however the Twilight Dragonflight continues to exist either through Deathwing's doing or through Sintharia's false demise as well as both Sinestra and Nefarian being present in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

After his death in Blackwing Lair, Nefarian was reanimated and charged by [[Deathwing]] to continue his insidious endeavours within [[Blackwing Descent]].<ref>[[Dungeon Journal]]</ref>
  +
Nefarian, the eldest son of Deathwing the Destroyer, has been bested by the heroes of Azeroth in the past, most recently in Blackwing Lair. Hubris and arrogance have ever been the great dragon's weak points - but returning from beyond the veil of death has made him cautious. Where another wyrm might strike back with brutish anger against the tiny insects who disrupted his plans, Nefarian has retreated.
  +
  +
Dwelling on the lessons learned from his defeat in Blackwing Lair, he has burrowed deeper into the heart of Blackrock Mountain, and rebuilt his sanctuary. The [[Vault of the Shadowflame]], a deep pit of cascading magma, is the heart of Blackwing Descent, and the location of horrific new experiments in undeath and magical augmentation, including a triumph dear to even Nefarian's cold, wrathful heart.<ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/blackwing-descent/</ref>
  +
He had continued his experiments along with his minion [[Maloriak]], which yielded results such as [[Chimaeron]], [[Atramedes]], and the reanimation of his sister, [[Onyxia]], until he was slain yet again by adventurers in [[Blackwing Descent]].

Nefarian usually enters combat in human form at first, summoning his many minions and allies while he wears down his enemies with powerful spells. If seriously threatened, he takes on his true form, using his shadow flame breath to incinerate anyone who is not properly protected. He uses his corrupted power ability to incapacitate whatever characters he feels are the greatest threat. If badly wounded, Nefarian uses his powerful magic to retreat. If prevented from retreating, he uses his most powerful spells and abilities to turn his enemies against each other, and to drain their health and spells while restoring his own. Nefarian’s breath, known as shadow flame, is among the deadliest of any dragon’s attacks. Any living target affected by Nefarian’s breath is set afire with [[Shadow Flame|shadow flame]], taking terrible damage. The only protection from this attack is the [[Onyxia Scale Cloak|scales]] of another powerful black dragon.

Like his father and his sister Onyxia, he had a human guise, appearing as Victor Nefarius, Lord of Blackrock. Holding the Blackrock clan and various clans of ogres under his control, Nefarian ruled from his lair at the top of Blackrock Spire until he was defeated by champions of Azeroth.
