The Lich King: Pretty much Kel'Thuzad's entire reason for existing. After being one of the most powerful men in the field of magic and falling from grace (of his own volition, mind you) to die and be reborn as a skeleton, he's pretty much made the rise of the Scourge his sole mission in unlife. He doesn't exist without the Lich King.
It's kind of funny, seeing as his first encounter left him with a lot of doubt and regret, but it's not something he'll ever mention or think about in this day and age. He realized too late that he fucked up, which is why his relationship with this Lich King (being Arthas) in particular is very interesting. The most powerful man in magic dragged the Prince of Lordaeron down with him and because of the whole mess of Lordaeron, there is an extra attachment there.
For all he preaches of the lack of emotion from the armies of the Scourge, I really don't think he could say the same for himself. It's pretty plain in most of his canon writing that he would be very distraught without Arthas or the Scourge to base his life on.
