Background
Taken directly from the quest: Capturing the Phylactery
I suppose an explanation is in order. You've met one of the archmage's apprentices, Ravandwyr, but there was also another named Naberius. He was an ardent student, but was drawn to necromancy. When Kael'thas appeared with his forces, Naberius seized the opportunity to betray the archmage, handing over the secrets to the tower's defense. Now, it seems, he has become a lich. If we are to stop him, we must capture his phylactery. Knowing him, he would've buried it somewhere out of sight in his domain.
Naberius was an apprentice to Archmage Vargoth. When Kael'thas attacked Kirin'Var Village due to their close proximity to his Tempest Keep and most of them were members of the Kirin Tor. Kael'thas used every thing he could to destroy the village including a mana bomb. Archmage Vargoth was trapped in The Violet Tower since Kael'thas wasn't strong enough to kill him. All but Vargoth died in Kirin'Var. Naberius always talked about Necromancy and he used this attack to betray his master and his "friends" and didn't allow their spirits to find peace. Naberius since then has turned into a Lich and hide his Phylactery (a bane to Liches, such as himself) in the middle outhouse behind the inn. Adventurers should seek out Ravandwyr, another apprentice to Vargoth's if they wish to try to kill this Lich. He is now located in the Chapel at the Chapel Yard in Kirin'Var village, his device for manipulating the villager's spirits can be found in the barn.
Combat
- He has a full array of ice spells, including frost bolt and frost nova.
- He mind controls the person whoever is the highest on his aggro list. Note: He does not mind control when only one person is on his aggro list.
- He is immune to kick, stun, and disorient effects. But not slowing effects from like Frostbolt or Ice Cone.
- He has an AoE spell called Lesser Shadow Fissure's Consumption which every few seconds, does exactly 1000 damage each time. You can avoid this by stepping out of it's radius.
- The two ghosts near him will not aggro when Naberius is pulled.
Notes
- It is not explained how he became a Lich, one can assume that he corrupted his own soul and body when corrupting the dead villagers.
- It can also be noted, to date, he is the only Lich not directly associated with the Burning Legion or the Lich King.
