Bloodmage Thalnos.

Bloodmage Thalnos is a skeleton mini-boss once found in the Graveyard of the Scarlet Monastery, just below the staircase at the far end of the graveyard itself.

Background

Thalnos earned repute in the Scarlet Crusade for the brutal torture methods he used to "purify" new recruits. Ultimately the sadistic mage contracted the plague of undeath and arose as a fearsome skeletal being. The vengeful Thalnos prowled the monastery's graveyard commanding apparitions and zombified creatures to attack anyone who trespasses on his unholy domain.

In Hearthstone

This section contains information exclusive to Hearthstone and is considered non-canon.

Thalnos appears as a legendary card in Hearthstone. His flavor text reads: "He's in charge of the Annual Scarlet Monastery Blood Drive!". The artwork actually depicts Turov the Risen, a skeletal mage from the TCG.

Trivia

• Thalnos is voiced by Marc Graue.
• Thalnos received an Adventure Guide icon but was never added to it.

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Although he lacked any distinguishing mortal features, judging from his title Thalnos was probably a blood elf blood mage prior to his undeath, as the Crusade also had Fellari Swiftarrow and Arellas Fireleaf in its ranks at some time.
