"The Beginning Battle, with Dread Lord Balnazzar"

When Tirion was captured, Balnazzar guarded the Ashbringer in order to kill anyone who attempted to claim it.

The Ashbringer

Unknown to Sylvanas, Balnazzar lived, having staged his death with his brother, and went underground within the Plaguelands. Not content to simply sit by while the undead legions overran Azeroth, he formed a new plan to oppose them. He also sought to establish a means to protect himself by creating a new army. While he was stuck between worlds of the living and dead,he killed the paladin Saidan Dathrohan and possessed his body.

He then helped found the Scarlet Crusade, an order of knights focused on the singular goal of defeating the Scourge in all its forms. Recognizing that he wouldn't be able to twist Alexandros Mograine into his service, Balnazzar manipulated Alexandros's son Renault Mograine into killing his father with the Ashbringer.

While Alexandros would be raised by Kel'Thuzad into service of the Scourge, a schism would cause a group of paladins to form a new order known as the Argent Dawn. Left unopposed, Balnazzar established control over the Scarlet Crusade, which soon became synonymous with corruption and extremism

Balnazzar (along with Mal'Ganis) is the only Dreadlord known to have the powers to possess another being as proven with his possession of Saidan Dathrohan. He also seems to be able to take on the mannerisms of whomever he possesses and can express false compassion despite being a Demon. This makes him highly convincing, making his diplomacy alone one of his many strengths. One example of this is shown when he makes conversation with Renault Mograine convincing him to betray his father.

He is also able to use the blood of those he possesses (or of his own possibly) to project images, as seen in the Ashbringer. Balnazzar is able to telepathically communicate using this projection, this may be shared by other Dreadlords seeing as Varimathras can communicate with him also.

In addition he can also cast the drain life spell which he uses in the battle against the scourge at Hearthglen to heal Dathrohan's wounds killing a scarlet crusader in the process.

History

King Magni Bronzebeard forged the Ashbringer from a piece of crystal purified by wielders of the Holy Light. This gave the sword strange Light-bearing powers. It was named for its ability to slaughter undead, leaving nothing but ash in its wake. Ashbringer passed through several hands, serving both Light and Shadow, before it came to the legendary paladin Tirion Fordring, who used it to shatter the Lich King’s runeblade, Frostmourne, on the top of Icecrown Citadel. Tirion has carried Ashbringer with him ever since.
