See: [npc=31125] for the original version.
Was originally located in the northern wing of [zone=4603], accessible only if your faction controls the open-world Wrath version of Wintergrasp, where he dropped pieces of the S5 Arena set and the T7 raid set, as well as the [item=43959].
Like the other Anniversary world bosses, this version drops scaled versions of the original drops.
