Prince Valanar is the Scourge overlord of the Borean Tundra. He rules from Naxxanar, a Scourge necropolis above the Temple City of En'kilah in the northern edge of the Tundra.
Valanar can also be found in Valiance Keep disguised as Counselor Talbot, manipulating the Alliance leadership in order to weaken it. This is not revealed until the quest 
[72] Last Rites.
He is also shown in a vision for the quest 
[75] Out of Body Experience, where he and three other darkfallen resurrect Archmage Arugal from the dead.

Background
Death Knight (manga)
All this time he was disguised as Counselor Talbot, ready to lead the Alliance forces in the hands of the Lich King. He was stopped by Thassarian.
Icecrown Citadel
Valanar, along with his brother Keleseth and Prince Taldaram from Ahn'kahet, have returned in Icecrown Citadel as members of the Blood Prince Council. The three princes were raised in undeath by the Lich King to avenge themselves upon their slayers and to act as bodyguards for Blood-Queen Lana'thel, the blood-queen of the San'layn. They were unsuccessful and defeated once again.[3]
His line "Naxxanar was merely a setback!" is a tribute to the oft-paraphrased line delivered by Kael'thas in Magister's Terrace.

Atop Naxxanar in Borean Tundra:
- Prince Valanar says: My liege, the infiltration and control of the Alliance power structure by our cultists is well underway.
- Image of the Lich King says: Your progress in this region has been impressive, Blood Prince. I am pleased...
- Prince Valanar says: The power you've bestowed upon me has allowed me great mental influence over human minds. I bear these offerings as proof of my progress.
- Leryssa and General Arlos appear and walk toward Valanar and the Lich King. Thassarian runs forward.
- Thassarian yells: Leryssa!
- Thassarian yells: What have you done to my sister, you motherless elf scum!?
- Image of the Lich King says: Now this is a surprise, Thassarian. I hadn't heard from Mograine or the other death knights for months. You've come to rejoin the Scourge, I take it?
- Thassarian says: I would sooner slit my own throat. You will pay for what you did to your own men, Arthas... for what you did to me! I swear it.
- Prince Valanar says: Allow me to take care of the intruders, lord. I will feed their entrails to the maggots.
- Image of the Lich King says: Do not fail me, San'layn. Return to Icecrown with this fool's head or do not bother to return.
