Helcular

Helcular is a level 38 humanoid that can be found accompanied by Kel'Thuzad, patrolling the road to and from Southshore in the Old Hillsbrad Foothills, accessed via the Caverns of Time. In the World of Warcraft present timeline, he is dead, but can be resurrected as Helcular's Remains, a level 44 elite undead, as part of the Helcular's Revenge quest chain. If attacked by Alliance he summons skeletons to attack them.

Biography
Helcular was a mage living in the Hillsbrad Foothills, presumably having some affiliation with Kel'Thuzad's Cult of the Damned (and later, possibly, the Scourge, as his appearance in Old Hillsbrad predates the debut of the Scourge plague). Helcular was preparing to transform himself into a lich when a human lynch mob from Southshore found the cave where he was performing the ritual, and subsequently murdered him. He was buried in the Southshore graveyard.

One of Helcular's apprentices, Novice Thaivand, resides at the town of Tarren Mill. Now a member of the Forsaken, he directs members of the Horde to find Helcular's rod and begin the process of resurrecting him, so the dead mage could have his revenge on the people of Southshore.

Cataclysm
Following his resurrection, and having survived his onslaught against Southshore, Helcular has decided to join to the Forsaken just as his apprentice did years before. Helcular now seeks to remove the worgen threat from the Banshee Queen's sphere of influence, and expresses the belief that his new opponent Ivar Bloodfang should have been killed in Silverpine. He seems to be eager to find a method by which to remove the Worgen's immunity to the curse of undeath.

Conversation with Kel'Thuzad
At some point during their patrol in Old Hillsbrad, Kel'Thuzad and Helcular stop and begin conversing...a conversation that seems to indicate that Kel'Thuzad taught him the art of necromancy:
