Someone probably changed his avatar with ShadowKeeper. It isn't an armour or anything.

It looks like the player used Shadowkeeper to change his avatar to a Death Knight. If you're thinking about doing the same thing, there's something you need to know. Some of the monsters look pretty cool, but their avatars are not always functional, shall we say. For example, Sarevok's avatar is holding a big sword even when he doesn't have a weapon in his hand, and if you put a weapon in his hand, a second weapon appears on his avatar and it sort of just floats there, which is pretty annoying. Also, most of the monsters don't have spellcasting animations, which makes them inappropriate for spellcasters, and some of them don't have attack animations, so you can't see their attacks.

Ever tried giving your character the avatar of Demogorgon and then have her wielding weapons and casting spells? Weird things happen to your game if you do so. :)
