Prince Malchezaar is a man'ari eredar lord of the Burning Legion. He took control of the tower of Karazhan and can be fought at the very top. Access to his room, the Netherspace, is granted after completing the Chess Event. It is unknown when Malchezaar arrived at Karazhan or what his goal there was. He apparently arrived while some agents of the Violet Eye were still alive inside the tower, notably Keanna. It was likely shortly before Karazhan was sealed, as the Violet Eye were aware of Keanna's death. He was seemingly a collector of rare weapons such as Light's Justice and Gorehowl.
Malchezaar is also a "memory" in the fight against Argent Confessor Paletress in the Trial of the Champion encounter of the Crusaders' Coliseum.
