Ru'sad is a scourge necromancer in charge of the undead forces found in Zul'Aman. He was under command of leaders in Stratholme. He was interested in killing the high elves found there, to prevent them from rejoining any high elves in Hillsbrad or Khaz Modan, in order to prevent them from reviving the Sunwell. He had sent gargoyles, ghouls, and zombies into the jungles to look for them. Brann killed one of these gargoyles during his journey in Zul'aman and found a letter written by Ru'sad on its corpse, giving hints that the lost and scattered high elves, still had importance.
