Having learned from his previous failures with the Lich King, the Jailer decided to use Domination to control Anduin directly. He had Anduin's sword Shalamayne transformed into a mourneblade, Kingsmourne, and inserted what was left of Arthas Menethil's soul into the blade to serve as the source of Anduin's Domination.
Was the jailor controlling Arthas?
No, he's not. In the intro to Shadowlands, Bolvar Fordragon makes a reference to the Helm of Domination's “true master” which is strongly implied to be the Jailer. Since Arthas, as the Lich King, was under the command of the helm, he couldn't also be its “true master.”Did the jailer create the Lich King?
Kil'jaeden the Deceiver created the original Lich King from the spirit of the orc shaman Ner'zhul for the purpose of raising an undead army to weaken Azeroth in preparation for the Burning Legion's invasion.Did the jailer make Frostmourne?
Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination were crafted at the Runecarver's Oubliette in Torghast by the Runecarver, who was forced against his will to do so by the Jailer.Is the jailer the final boss of Shadowlands?
Apparently the Jailer was not supposed to be the final boss of Shadowlands. Not only that, but Bellular knows who the real final boss was supposed to be but isnt allowed to say. This could explain why hes so bland as a final boss. He wasn't supposed to be.How ARTHAS Worked Against The JAILER! - Lich King's Masterplan
Why does the jailer have a hole in his chest?
As punishment for his treachery, the Eternal Ones decided to banish Zovaal to the inescapable Maw, where he would forevermore be its Jailer. They stripped him of his anima and his sigil—leaving a gaping hole at the center of his chest—and used them to create a new Arbiter to judge souls in his place.Is the Primus the real jailer?
The Primus is the Jailer.Zovaal is, and has been from nearly the start, his Dominated pawn, speaking his words and carrying out his plans. And we've just made a very, very big mistake. Let me explain.
