Gen 3: People specifically risen into undeath as Death Knights by The Lich King- All PC DKs (I don't feel like who the LK was makes enough difference to differentiate)
Gen 3.5: Death Knights risen into service by the Deathlord - Nazgrim, Whitemane, etc.
Gen 4: People Who are saved from death by Red Dragonfire and then put on the Helm of Domination?
Gen 4 is too specific to be a gen on its own.
