-Mael Shelub, is a [[nerubian]] [[necromancer]], who seemed interested in defeating the Scourge.{{Cite|LoC|141}} Mael offered his services to [[Blarus Whitrick]], who readily accepted. The group settled in [[Gaval Moch]], a ruined castle in [[Silverpine Forest]]. Shelub made his room in an intact tower on the side of the castle. When a roving [[ogre]] band attacked Gaval Moch, hoping to use the ruins for its own purposes. Blarus’ forces drove the ogres away, and Mael Shelub animated their corpses to replace the acolytes lost in the attack.

-Mael Shelub is a bitter and cruel necromancer. He despises everyone, especially the [[Lich King]], and prefers the company of the dead to that of the living. Mael hates the Lich King because he feels that [[undead]] creatures should always be under mortal control — anything else is an abomination. This mindset also pits him against the free-willed, uncommanded [[forsaken]]. Mael Shelub, the necromancer, despises forsaken, as they flout magical control. He had been trying to use Blarus for his own purposes, but would have slayed him if given the opportunity. Mael, like [[Ganthrifal]], pretended to serve Blarus because he believed he could use him.

-His magic allows him to animate minor undead creatures — zombies and skeletons — that do routine work around Gaval Moch but offer no real combat ability. To supplement his army, Mael stalks Silverpine Forest and brings more zombies into his fold. He also convinced (making liberal use of command undead) a local [[spectre]] to join him, and the creature serves loyally. In addition, after the ogre attack, Mael attempted to create zombies from the ogre dead. He knew the possibility was remote since ogres, being giants, are not eligible to become zombies. Much to his surprise, they did rise from the ground — but as withered ogres, not zombies. Mael believes that he is a surpassingly competent necromancer. The truth is that the Lich King, dimly aware of a remote threat, granted Mael a small amount of power to combat Blarus’ plans.

-Mael hates Blarus and would have willingly slayed him, though his undead alone are not powerful enough to do so and he still believed he could use Blarus. The nerubian despised Ganthrifal, who moved in on his territory. Mael often entertained the thought of murdering the cunning dreadlord. He was the most likely candidate to join the heroes against the other factions, however, Mael Shelub was also just as likely to turn against them in the aftermath. He is chaotic evil and not to be trusted.

-Mael Shelub’s undead perform routine maintenance and had repaired the doors and strengthened walls of Gaval Moch. For a long time, Mael had felt that joining forces with a hated forsaken was a poor idea, though he had not been able to determine how to extirpate himself from the situation. When the heroes came along to destroy Blarus' plans, he thought he had his chance, and offered to join forces with the heroes (sending zombies ahead and coming behind himself with a withered ogre retinue). When he turned on heroes and is wounded, he ultimately he escapes using a scroll of teleport. Some time later, Mael Shelub’s twenty children come looking for Dad.{{Cite|LoC|140, 141, 143-144}} The creature is found operating in Lordaeron.{{cite|LoM|148}}
