Deathwing is one of five Dragon Aspects and leader of the black dragonflight. Thousands of years ago, Neltharion was empowered by the Titans with dominion over the earth and the deep places of Azeroth. However, driven mad by the Old Gods, he turned against the other Aspects during the War of the Ancients. Among both mortals and dragons his name has become one whispered with a feeling of fear and contempt. This was also the exact point where Chernabog approached Neltharion to join the Dark Spawn Council, to which Deathwing agreed only half-heartedly. But after Chernabog was defeated in battle, Deathwing was quick to leave the Dark Spawn and escape the Banished Realms
The black aspect involved himself in Second War, adopting the form of Lord Daval Prestor, in order to destroy the Alliance from within. He also managed to turn his greatest enemy, Alexstrasza, into a slave of the Horde, with whom he later allied himself. After suffering a series of defeats culminating with his being chased off by the other Aspects, Deathwing retreated to the elemental plane Deepholm to recuperate. From Deepholm, Deathwing observed his former mate Sintharia's experiments with the twilight dragonflight in Grim Batol. Deathwing now continues his late consort's work.
Deathwing will make his return as the primary antagonist in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, the third expansion. Though long believed by most to be dead, Deathwing is regaining his strength in Deepholm and plotting a return that will shake Azeroth to its foundations.
Deathwing has control over the land and its fathoms, including lava. His main attack, and that of his dragonflight's, is to use his breath as a cannon of lava. He can live within volcanoes and high temperature areas.
Role in the series[]
Deathwing once aided Jafar in an attempt to take over Agrabah in Benny, Leo, and Jonny's adventures of Aladdin. He is also another one of Maleficent's former boyfriends. he was set to appear in a future Spongebob project by request from Tman. saddly, this request has been now dropped because Scroopfan being pushed too far by a recuring request of Fasmadic, which also resulted in the end of Dreadwing being in the series. but at least there's his exsitence in the Benny Leo and Johnny series. However, Deathwing's role in Aladdin is somewhat confusing. Despite clearly being stated above that his origin was the origin given above, somehow he is suddenly Leo's uncle and Samson's brother. And despite having been said to have KILLED Samson and Jaina, they turned out to be merely been in the form of a lion amulet. It's safe to say that Deathwing won't appear storywise because Leo tricked him into crashing into a mountain, blowing him up and destroying him for good. however, outside of that, it appears he's set to become the big bad for the new series, Jak and Friends adventures, starting his own villain team, although, much differnet from the Benny, Leo, and Jonny series, he remained the form of a giant dragon, being made by Ed Edd and Eddy series maker Russleluke in his other account, MrRuscole, who of which is appearently a huge fan of Wow, (world of warcraft), which should come to no surprase that deathwing is added to his faverisum series.
