Lich King, Discussion.

[Swimer94]

Well, I was reading trough wowiki a bit (Nothing to do) and than read some WoWHead Comments made by some well-knowledge people who know the lore very well (And Hardcore PvPers if I forgot to mention) about Lich King being now only Arthas, who killed Ner'Zhull.
What is Lich King now? Who is left (Mind) Arthas or Ner'zhull the orc shaman, I've always wondered but now I have my CoTh Pals to answer my question
So, let us sumarize: The Lich King was made of the orc spirit Ner'Zhull made by the big boss (Kil'Jeaden) his spirit was trapped into the Frozen Thorne, than Arthas came and shattered the prison, putted the helm etc. etc. and boom Lich KIng was borned, perfect fusion (Stated by Blizzard) so I was thinking...
Who controls the body? Who is the mind? Ner'Zhull or the Human, post your oppinions!!!
Because blizzard explanation, and what I've heard didn't really satisfied my curiosity.. :?:

According to what I've read, Arthas managed to mentally defeat Ner'zhul during the years of Vanilla and Burning Crusade, and has probably enveloped Ner'zhul's power also.

In other words, yeah, it's Arthas. Just, VERY VERY BAD.

EDIT: Disregard that, I'm a doodoohead. :3

In the final pages of the story of Arthas that was published the Lich King slays both himself and Ner'zhul in his mind before awakening. So it would be inaccurate to call him Arthas or a combination of both. What he is now is some sort of distorted thing that is the product of all the manipulations that turned Arthas down the road of the Death Knight.
