Is Tichondrius a fraud?

[Kuras2003]

no but lets be real, it was in his best interest to make sure Archimonde gets summoned during "Under the Burning sky", did he had so much faith in Arthas and his undead that he just decided to sit this one out? why he wasn't present to defend Kel'Thuzad even just in case?

Never trust a dreadlord - they are always scheming, distracting etc.
Then again, maybe he was observing the event and was ready to intervene? (by now i'm quite shaky on lore)
I couldn't tell you what any of them were up to at that time of the story.

i recently read some lore that he was present during sige of dalaran and when arthas na kelthuzad were busy stealing book of medivh, he was busy stealing skull of guldan, so that confirms he was taking active aproach?

Lore-wise it doesn't make much sense, but things such as this were sacrificed in the sake of gameplay in my opinion.
The humans would've stood 0 chance against Tichondrius, who has divine armor, can summon 4 infernals and has finger of death.
Kinda why you don't fight Archimonde in the night elf finale, apart from the last 30 seconds.

okay but it not cannon or anything that he has "Divine armor" and can summon exacly 4 inferlas (no more, no less). he could have abilities of normal dreadlord with normal armor, also i think it makes perfect sense lore-wise for him to be here. After all its in his best interest to summon his master, no?

he was busy discussing who is stronger superman or batman with the other dreadlords or he was like "see that ghoul balnazzar? its you!" i was there man who the hell you think caught the blue big bad demon destroying dalaran on camera ? me of course!
