Dark Inquisitor Xanesh

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh is a human boss in Ny'alotha, the Waking City.

She is also found by the adventurer and Wrathion in the Vault of the Shadowflame in Blackwing Descent where she intended to revive Nefarian's experiments and use Wrathion's essence to resurrect Nefarian and Onyxia to serve N'Zoth. However, she was thwarted in this and retreated to Ny'alotha. Within Ny'alotha she tortured Queen Azshara for betraying N'Zoth until she was slain by Wrathion and Azeroth's champions.
