Theory: Denathrius is an Incubus

[Nagawithlegs]

Namely, the first Incubus (or male Succubus/Sayaad) we've ever met in Warcraft.

He has their horns, their hooves, has a sultry sexy low-cut v-neck and a knowledge of sins and dark magic. It's looking very likely that Denathrius created the Nathrezim in his image, but it's a mystery as to why he's lacking their wings while retaining their other physical traits.

Perhaps male Sayaad lack wings. And he tacked them onto the Nathrezim because he's always lacked them himself. If you note here the wowpedia even mentions that they look so similar to Nathrezim while being a different species... and I doubt that Denathrius created the Sayaad as well.

While it's weird that a demon could've somehow became a god of the Shadowlands (with demon souls) all four of the Eternal Ones seem to have weird traits and backstories, so maybe that's his own.

Also note this tidbit mentioned as a rumor about incubi:
Incubi are kept as slaves on their home planet, having been rendered incapable of escape or independent movement.

So, wingless?

Also could explain why there are no female Dreadlords: because they were made by an Incubi and did not want female agents, maybe because of some kind of trauma. It sounds like a joke but if his wings were torn off or melded off by female Sayaad...

EDIT: This also explains why the Dreadlords are so willing to fuck over the Legion despite being such a big part of it. They could be descendants of a demon who felt no love whatsoever for demons and sided with the Jailer over his own kind.

Pretty sure the wings are just part of the fel the dreadlords took in. Similar how illidan gained hooves and wings.

Definitely possible, but its weird that Denathrius has horns and hooves without the wings. It implies that if he created the Nathrezim in his image based on how they resemble Venthyr, who he also made, but why would they have hooves and horns (demon traits) BEFORE they became demons? Because Denathrius has them. But why? Did he drink some fel?

Unless he was a demon himself? Or its the worlds greatest coincidence like Draenei hooves LOL

[Razion]

I mean, he's sultry enough to be a Sayaad. And not smart enough it seems to be a Dreadlord. Definitely a lot more about the sin and revelry than conniving aspect. I think it makes sense.

Sire Denathrius is an eternal one and not a demon. he didnt goto the twisting nether when he died but Nathrezim are demons and do goto to the twisting nether when they die.

To be fair, he never actually died. His sword absorbed his life force/essence before he could perish in order to save him.

Incubi are hot.
Denathrius is not.

true but he is still an Eternal one and that is confirmed. Nathrezim are demons and go to the twisting nether when they die although Denathrius could be an original dread lord before they all became infused with fell. Denathrius also could have wrote that book to the person that created him which could be a first one.

With how much he sucks "he" can only be a succubus

i mean its not like only the demons have hooves or horns, if we ignore animals (we obviously will) then tauren too have horns and hooves and they are not creatures of fell... the ardenweald inhabitants too, both 2legend and 4leged (dont know their race names ) have both hooves and horns, and they are not demons (or perhaps they are...)

The stoneborn have wings and horns. It's not unlikely that he created the Nathrezim with both venthyr and stoneborn appearances in mind.

Plausible enough of a theory, although whether it pans out remains to be seen. I'm more inclined to think Denathrius is a unique being as an Eternal One - but he's also capable of creating beings whole-cloth (as he did with Renathal and the Curator), so perhaps it's possible he might have created the incubi at some previous point.

[OCoyne]

The Q&A section saying Sire has other allies will probably resurface the Dreadlord rumors which started in Alpha.

It's certainly feasible with the dialogue with himself and The Accusur during the Revendreth main storyline, I thought it was happening during the main storyline, he does afterall use the Dreadlord model and animations.

[shoc]

Considering I haven't seen him seduce and fuck anyone to death I'm gonna say no. It's the Nathrezim who were made in Denathrius' image.

[Nagawithlegs]

Well, here come the Dreadlords at least.
