The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Grand Warlock Nethekurse encounter in The Shattered Halls.

Nethekurse, once a shaman of the Shadowmoon clan, abandoned his reverence for the elements to master the art of wielding fel magic. The demonic energies at his command have left him a husk who finds delight only in torturing young fel orcs to test the limits of their mental and physical strength.
