This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.
Lord Garithos had the unique class "Dark Knight". He has a mix of abilities from the Paladin, Tauren Chieftain and Mountain King hero units - although the versions of "Shockwave" and "Avatar" are extremely different. The use of a paladin spell perhaps suggests the traditional D&D background for a dark knight of being a fallen paladin.
