Undead Lich

Warning: Contains plot spoilers for the PvE campaign.

The Lich Lord is a powerful undead sorcerer of great cunning. He is the mastermind behind the swarms of undead that plague Kryta. He seeks to capture the Scepter of Orr to use it to control the Titans and build an unstoppable army to conquer all of Tyria.

The Lich Lord is in reality Vizier Khilbron, the former advisor to the King of Orr who caused The Cataclysm and the downfall of that kingdom by casting a forbidden spell. It is not clear if he had desired to be a Lich and thus caused the Cataclysm on purpose to create the massive armies of undead that he commands (as evident by the Decayed Orr Emblems that his forces drop), or -as is rumored- that he caused this by accident in order to protect the kingdom against the Charr invasion and becoming a Lich was a result of that mistake.

The Lich Lord is very manipulative and insidious. He manipulates players in the game to oppose the Mursaat and hand him the Scepter of Orr, then he manipulates them to go to the Ring of Fire Islands to open the Door of Komalie to unleash the only weapon strong enough to defeat the Mursaat, the Titans.

The Lich Lord is also the Flameseeker mentioned in the Flameseeker Prophecies. There is a beautiful mural of the Lich Lord in the south eastern corner of the Pockmark Flats (see adjacent). This maybe a sign that his coming was indeed foretold by priests of Ascalon.
