Lore
Thrall, Deathseer is the death knight version of 
Thrall.
In the web comic Undeath Conquers All, a 
Pompous Thespian tells a tale of how Arthas Menethil and Jaina Proudmoore were corrupted into death knights of the Scourge and waged war against the living, causing the world to cry out for heroes to stand against them. Thrall answered the elements' call and began the long and perilous journey to Icecrown, while, across the sea, Uther Lightbringer tracked down his former student. Arthas and Jaina easily defeated Uther, but some time later they returned to the Frozen Throne, only to be ambushed by the now undead Uther, who yelled for them to die. He was interrupted by Thrall, who urged Arthas and Jaina to surrender and return to being the heroes they once were. However, he was swiftly silenced by a blast of magic which transformed him into a death knight as well. The now undead Thrall stated "As I was saying... surrender, or the elements will destroy you. Let us begin." The Pompous Thespian's story ends with a massive battle between the undead Jaina, Uther, and Thrall, with the moral of the story being that the Frozen Throne does not bring people together, but rather pits them against one another until only the strongest remains. After being offered more gold by the audience, the thespian reluctantly concedes that Jaina won.
The deathseer's pale blue color scheme suggests an association with the Frost death knight specialization.
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- "Combining martial prowess with supernatural cold, frost death knights leave their enemies chilled to the bone—and broken of the will to fight. Unlike mages who learn to harness frost magic to great effect, these death knights are born of it, rime gripping their decaying hearts. These frozen undead warriors wield dual blades to strike with ferocity and inflict deathly cold upon anyone who would stand against them."

Trivia
- Chillingly, the undead Thrall has painted a white skull mask on his own face.[1] In orcish culture, this was a practice used by shaman to mark certain failed apprentices as "dead" to their people, notably used by the Void-corrupted pale orcs and the shaman Ner'zhul, who would one day become the first Lich King.
- Thrall, Deathseer underwent multiple redesigns during the development of Knights of the Frozen Throne. Some early names for the card include "Thrall, Voodoo Master" and "Thrall, Frost King", with some early effects being "Battlecry: Corrupt your Hero Power." and "Battlecry: Summon two Ice Guardians".[2]
