Archmage Arugal is a former mage of Dalaran who lived within the ruins of Shadowfang Keep and was later raised from the dead.
Background
World of Warcraft
Originally a respected patriot of Gilneas, Arugal eventually became a member of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran. However, after the Scourge destroyed Dalaran and most of its populace, he fled to Shadowfang Keep above Pyrewood Village.[1] Frustrated by their lack of progress, and against the advice of his peers, Arugal used Ur's research[2] to summon extra-dimensional entities to bolster Dalaran's diminishing ranks of his own. Arugal's summoning brought the ravenous worgen into the world of Azeroth. The feral wolf-men slaughtered not only the Scourge, but quickly turned on the wizards themselves. The worgen sieged the keep of the noble Baron Silverlaine. Situated above the tiny hamlet of Pyrewood, the keep quickly fell into shadow and ruin. Driven mad with guilt, Arugal adopted the worgen as his children and retreated to the newly dubbed 'Shadowfang Keep'. He resided there, protected by his massive pet, Fenrus — and haunted by the vengeful ghost of Baron Silverlaine.[1]

The Shade of Arugal
After he was defeated and beheaded by agents of the Horde[3], Arugal's headless body was buried at the foot of the path leading up to his former stronghold of Shadowfang Keep. At the behest of the Lich King, the darkfallen princes Keleseth, Valanar, Theraldis and Atherann resurrected Arugal as a ghost in the service of the Scourge and sent him to the Grizzly Hills to subvert the trapper communities.[4]
As indicated by Theraldis' comments, Arugal was sent to Solstice Village to convert the population into worgen, and later did the same in Silverbrook. He then settled his base of operations in Shadowfang Tower on Bloodmoon Isle, off the Eastwind Shore. The majority of the populations of the trapper villages willingly joined the Wolfcult, while those who resisted were killed or (in the case of the workers of the Hollowstone Mine) cursed to undeath.[4]
He seems to command the Bloodmoon pack of worgs. He has three lieutenants: Varlam (a human cultist atop a worg), Selas (a worgen), and Goremaw (a worg).
Arugal's defeat, along with his three lieutenants, is required for 
[75G3] Hour of the Worg.
Cataclysm
Arugal may reappear in the Heroic version of Shadowfang Keep that will be released during the new expansion: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. However Lord Godfrey may replace Arugal as the last boss of Shadowfang Keep since was killed then resurrected in Grizzly Hills.
Arugal's Gold Coin
[Arugal's Gold Coin]-"I wish someday to retire to my own tidy little estate, with a bunch of pet dogs to keep me company."
Quotes
Arugal's monologue to Deathstalker Vincent
Arugal and Vincent
- "I have changed my mind loyal servants, you do not need to bring the prisoner all the way to my study, I will deal with him here and now. Vincent! You and your pathetic ilk will find no more success in routing my sons and I than those beggardly remnants of the Kirin Tor. If you will not serve my Master with your sword and knowledge of his enemies...Your moldering remains will serve ME as a testament to what happens when one is foolish enough to trespass in my domain!"
Other quotes
Fenrus the Devourer dies:
- Who dares interfere with the Sons of Arugal?
Aggro:
- You, too, shall serve!
Transforms player into a worgen:
- Release your rage!
Killing a player:
- Another falls!
