Needs to die and stay dead

Lol he was a tool, and a stupid one at that.
The Lich King used him as bait to chase arthas halfway around the world for Northred. Where he god killed. His dreadlord brothers didnt even care.

Probably the boss with the most situations that you can kill him in.

Aint that the truth. As if the othertimes were not good enough

From a quest in Northrend:
"I am Mal'Ganis. I AM ETERNAL!"
Nuff said.

As Arthas and Jaina Proudmoore were investigating rumors of plague, they were attacked again and again by the forces of the Scourge posing as the personal army of the dreadlord Mal'Ganis. Kel'Thuzad helped play the part by telling Arthas that it was Mal'Ganis himself and not the Lich King behind the plague. Each attack, each town destroyed hit at Arthas' weakness, his pride. Arthas began to take his inability to protect his people from the Scourge personally, and soon became obsessed with killing the dreadlord.

Mal'Ganis led Arthas to Stratholme, and left him with the choice of either slaughtering all of its inhabitants or watching them fall to the plague. Arthas chose to kill his own subjects rather than let them become slaves to Mal'Ganis in death, killing most of the inhabitants of the town. Mal'Ganis was there in the wreckage, and goaded Arthas once again to come to Northrend to finish their battle. As expected, Arthas took the royal fleet and sailed north. The Prince's obsession with the hated dreadlord led him further down the path of evil, first lying to his men, betraying his mercenaries, and finally forsaking his own soul to take up the runeblade Frostmourne, grievously wounding Muradin Bronzebeard in the process.

The moment Arthas took up Frostmourne he became a tool of the Lich King, completely subservient to his will. This was what Mal'Ganis had planned all along. Confidently he approached Arthas and informed him of his fate. However, the manipulative and traitorous dreadlord was himself betrayed, as the Lich King's first whispers to Arthas were that the time for his vengeance had come (this was the first step towards Ner'zhul's independence). Arthas defeated the dreadlord and believed him to be slain.

*WotLK spoilers*

Recent discoveries have shown that this is not the case. Mal'Ganis is still alive -under the guise of Barean Westwind - and has taken over control of the Scarlet Onslaught, much like Balnazzar had done with the original Scarlet Crusade. To this day, he is plotting his revenge against the traitorous Lich King.

Does a lot of grandstanding for someone who loses fights all the time.
