My interpretation of ner’zhul is that he was a relatively good person who was brought to the dark side by someone exploiting his biggest weakness. As far as i’m aware, as soon as ner’zhul realized what he had been duped into, he tried to stop it only for gul’dan to shut him up because everyone liked him and his kool-aid. Ner’zhul and his shenanigans to make portals to new worlds wasn’t in of itself even that bad of a thing given the situation the orcs were in. He was someone who was put into a horrible situation all for the crime of missing his dead wife and kinda liking having the spotlight. I think hes kinda interesting in that aspect. Ner’zhul isn’t some great hero, or some super evil guy, hes just a guy who’s suffered from something pretty much everyone will at some point. Everything after that kinda spirals super hard out of his control, even him using the scourge was nothing more than him being a puppet.
