There is a quest added in WoW in Wrath of the Lich King which, among others, in fact do show Arthas was a living death knight. If you create a human DK you'll get human abilities and not undead ones. These DKs are playable and when you select any living race to be DK you get their attributes and abilities.

The lore says that anyone who is killed by the sword, his soul will be trapped inside, yet Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, after she was raised from the dead, managed to get both her soul and free will back. We also have a little plot hole about Frostmourne. In War 3 expansion, after Frozen Throne was damaged and Lich King was losing his power, Arthas was gaining back his human nature. The key to become DK was to give your free will (soul) and not your life. Difference between first and second generation is that Lich King's DKs were brute warriors and not so much spellcasters. Arthas was the first DK of the second generation. The second generation of DKs from Lich King itself. The most known DK of first generation is Teron Gorefiend. This DK were more like necromancers - spellcasters. Souls were merged by fallen warriors of Stormwind.
