"The Scarlet Crusade is a religious organization dedicated to the eradication of the undead. They are a major adversary of the Forsaken, and several quests in Tirisfal Glades involve attacks on Scarlet Crusade troops, leaders, and strongholds (including the Scarlet Monastery). The Scarlet Crusade maintains several bastions throughout the former lands of Lordaeron, namely the Scarlet Monastery, Hearthglen, Tyr's Hand and a large temple within Stratholme, wherein it is headquartered. The leader of the Scarlet Crusade, the Grand Crusader, is commonly known to be the paladin Saiden Dathrohan, but is in actuality the Dreadlord Balnazzar. The motives of the demon leading a quest to exterminate all undead (created by a plague ordered by the lord of all demons himself) are unknown.
The Scarlet Crusade is one of Azeroth's most controversial organizations due to the appeal of its mission to many individuals within the Alliance. While the Alliance is generally in agreement that the Scourge and the Forsaken need to be eradicated from Lordaeron so they can return home, few would agree with the methods commonly used by the Scarlet Crusade. The Crusade’s members are mostly soldiers — many are former Knights of the Silver Hand — who saw such devastation wrought by the Scourge that they resort to extreme measures to destroy the undead. This includes killing any mortal they assume to be carrying the plague, killing any mortal they believe may soon be undead, killing mortals who stand between the Crusade and undead, or killing mortals who may sympathize with undead. “Sympathizing with the undead” is how Crusaders interpret any argument that their methods are severe. As such, they are the natural enemies of the Scourge and the Forsaken, but they are also the enemy of anyone who cannot prove that he is alive — usually within ten or so seconds. As such, members of both the Horde and Alliance will often meet on the way in or out of the Monastery and roleplayers of each faction will finally find themselves with something to agree upon. The Crusade has already destroyed several undead encampments on Lordaeron. At this rate, it is likely that the Crusade will continue its battle until either it is destroyed or the undead annihilated. It should be noted, however, that due to the fact that quests within World of Warcraft involve the deaths of most of the leaders of the Scarlet Crusade, it can be considered canonical that the Crusade is essentially crippled following these events.
Scarlet Crusade mobs are usually humanoids, and they often have warrior or priest abilities. Some Crusaders also possess the powers of the paladin class. "
