Arthas Menethil is a fictional character who appears in the Warcraft series of video games and novels by Blizzard Entertainment.

He later became the Lich King, one of the most prominent antagonists in Warcraft lore. The critical reception of the character has been mostly positive.
In Warcraft III, Arthas is voiced by Justin Gross. In subsequent appearances, he is voiced by Patrick Seitz (paladin and death knight Arthas) and Michael McConnohie (Lich King Arthas).
