Maleki the Pallid

Maleki the Pallid is a boss in Stratholme. Maleki is a mortal human adept at Frost and Shadow magic.

''Maleki was among the first to join the Cult of the Damned, showing tremendous aptitude in harnessing the chill of the grave. Driven by an insatiable desire for power, the mage fervently hones his skills in dark magic to prepare for when he will be remade as a lich.''

Maleki the Pallid is the easiest of the three Ziggurat bosses. He's a caster, so he dies pretty quickly. He’ll cast Frost Bolt and Frost Nova throughout the fight, but neither are very powerful. He casts a very nasty life drain at the primary aggro target on occasion though, this needs to be healed through or interrupted. The aim is to kill him and then destroy the Ash'ari crystal.

It's possible that Maleki is the leader of the Thuzadin, a sect of the Cult of the Damned named after Kel'Thuzad.
