Biography
Ashbringer
Following the Third War, Lady Blaumeux witnessed the enslaving of Alexandros Mograine by Kel'Thuzad.[2] She later fought against the party Darion Mograine led into Naxxramas. She was eventually defeated when Grunn'Holde struck her in the head with a throwing axe.[3]
World of Warcraft
Along with her fellow horsemen, Lady Blaumeux stood in Naxxramas above Stratholme and oversaw the Military Quarter. They later fought the champions of the Alliance and Horde and the Argent Dawn assaulting the necropolis.[4]
Wrath of the Lich King
By the time of the war against the Lich King, it was revealed that Lady Blaumeux survived her encounter in the Eastern Plaguelands, or was reanimated, and subsequently returned as one of the Four Horsemen in the newly relocated Naxxramas floating above the Dragonblight. They eventually fell a second time under the attack of the adventurers.[5]

Trivia
- Blaumeux is voiced by Kath Soucie.
- Blaumeux likely represents the "Rider of Famine", based on her black color scheme.
- Her armor is closer to a female version of the armor of the death knights of the old Horde rather than the Scourge's designs.
- An unused NPC representing a modern version of Lady Blaumeux was added roughly at the same time as matching versions of the three other original Horsemen, all presumably meant to appear in World of Warcraft: Legion. She and these other NPCs didn't make it out of the Legion alpha stage.
- Wrath of the Lich King added an unused coloration of Blaumeux that uses a red coloration instead of her usual blue-black coloration. This may have been due to the removal of Alexandros Mograine as a horseman, replaced with Baron Rivendare; who shared a coloration with Blaumeux. This was likely an attempt to keep the original color scheme of the Horsemen intact, but was scrapped before launch. Attempting to load the texture will load the horse correctly as well as parts of Mograine's armor and Blaumeux's hair, but her face will not load correctly. As several of the textures are recolors of Blaumeux's unique texture pack, this was not unintentional. This coloration was also used as part of TCG artwork for the new Four Horsemen, where Blaumeux's horse is now red, though she is still wearing her original armor.

It is possible that Blaumeux didn't meet her final death, just like Baron Rivendare.[6]
