Highlord Darion Mograine, leader of the Knights of the Ebon Blade. Charged by the Lich King Bolvar Fordragon to aid the new Deathlord of the Ebon Blade with the raising into undeath of what will be the new Four Horsemen, after the Four Horsemen of Naxxramas. The original Horsemen were one of the greatest fighting forces in the whole of the Scourge, and so the new Horsemen shall be for the Ebon Blade.

After raising first the former General Nazgrim, then former king of Stromgarde Thoras Trollbane, and thirdly High Inquisitor Whitemane of the Scarlet Crusade, the leader must be raised. The role of leader of the Four Horsemen has been chosen for Tirion Fordring (Icecrown link used as I could not find the correct NPC page at the time, will hopefully fix later), who was killed after the Battle for the Broken Shore.

Together with the first three Horsemen, Darion Mograine and the Deathlord take position outside of Light's Hope Chapel. The Deathlord enters first, the guards unaware of what would be done. Entering the crypt by the chapel, the Deathlord raises an army of undead who battle the Argent Dawn and Argent Crusade members while the Horsemen, Mograine and the Deathlord enter the sanctuary beneath the chapel. Facing some of the Silver Highguard, the battle culminates with the Deathlord facing Lady Liadrin.

After defeating her, the other Death Knights arrive to witness the raising of Tirion. However, Liadrin unleashes her full power in this holy place, blocked off from the Lich King's eye. She stops the dark ritual, & Darion opens a Death Gate back to Acherus: The Ebon Hold. The three Horsemen take it, & Darion gives his life to make sure the Deathlord survives.

Broken & defeated, Mograine's corpse was brought back to Acherus, where the Horsemen had gathered. It was now that the Lich King reveals his true plan: Darion was to die so that he could become the leader of the Four Horsemen. Darion, seeing now what he did not before, takes up his new role upon his resurrection. He now stands as the Fourth Horsemen of Acherus, passing leadership of the Ebon Blade to the Deathlord.

The ability he provides when assigned as a Champion you take into the field is a very cool thematic ability, but is really only good for the very minor knock back effect that might interrupt certain mobs' casts that you couldn't otherwise interrupt. It suffers from a very small range, terrain obstructions can prevent the horsemen from doing anything at all, and if it actually does any damage it's so low to be barely noticeable.

All in all, it's cool to be able to have the Four Horsemen charge through an ongoing battle for a minor thematic effect, but it's unlikely to be of more use than that without changes.
