5th Old God Speculation

Hello Guys.
So,my friend yesterday had this interesting idea he came up with while we were speaking about lore.He suggested that the 5th Old God would be based on Satan.It's name could be Sa'tagh or something similar and he could be locked in the center of the Earth (similar to Satan in Dante's Inferno) in a prison called Hell.As Dante describes Satan as being locked within thick deep ice we could have our 5th Old God being imprisoned in the same way.Dante also wrights that Satan has 3 faces (and 3 set of wings for that matter)on the right a yellow-ish pale face,on his left a black/dark face and his main Bloodred Face.Well,to me it sounds logical for a creature such as an Old God to have 3 (or more) faces.
I asked my friend
'Why 5th?Why not 3rd or 4th?'
,and he responded '
Well,Satan is the all powerful ruler of evil so it be most logical for the strongest Old God to be based on the evilest creation known to man'
,which to me sounds
very
logical.
I find this idea to be very intriguing and possible.Im sure that some may say that we already have a Satan in WoW,just look at Sergeras.But to me Sergeras doesnt cut it,he is not as evil as he is supposed to be and he is certenly not as hideous and manipulative enough to be similar to the Devil.An Old God however,i cant think of anything more fiting honestly.
Discuss.

Doubtful. Seems like Sargeras or maybe Kil'Jaden are meant to be the satan equivalent. old gods are based on Lovecraft mythos so we'll likely see something more of that sort.

Why would Blizzard base their last boss on real life? Seems stupid to me, that's like naming the Lich King Hiffler and Northrend Germiny.

Pfft, C'thulu will be the last boss, I can see it now: A Northrend Archaeology team awakes him while he was stuck in frozen ice, awakening, the lord of Vash'jr overthrows all of Azeroth!

In no way are we sure about the number of Old Gods in Azeroth, and even then, there might be much, much more beyond.Because the Ordering of Azeroth speaks about the death of C'thun and the sealing of four other Old Gods?

the idea is good ... but the old gods (at least those on azeroth) are based on H.P. Lovecraft's works
this idea is good for let's say if they find a old god on outlands or some other planet but I dont see it happening on azeroth
and Sargeras is totally the equivalent of the Devil.... just look at the lore....: He was one of the titans but doesn't like .... pretty much the whole universe so he decides to wage war against his former buddies (see the similarities with Lucifer ? ) and for the record he is totally the most cunning villain ... He let his avatar be killed by the Guardian of Tirisfall so he can posses her future baby.... what else is there to be said

Aldo i do agree with this i just cant view Sergeras stronger then the Old Gods,i just cant.It may be because i love Old Gods,because they in total are more then just one Sergeras,but to me they are so much more evil (They corrupted the Dragon Aspect of time in a state that even he with his Time Control could not stop).
Which makes me think that if the Old Gods did that to Nozdormu,and he cant do anything about it...doesnt that mean that eventually the Old Gods are going to re-take Azeroth?

well atleast Nozdormu is out of their reach (and they corrupted the Aspect of Earth A.K.A. Neltharion the Earth Warder A.K.A. Deathwing) Nozdormu is not in a single Time which kinda gives him immunity to their corruption... I think
and just to trow that out.... in the fight between the titans and the old gods ... the old gods lost .... and beeing that Sargeras is probably the strongest Titan ever(he was charged with defending the universe before switching teams) makes him stronger than a single old god at least. And on the corruption battlefield : He corrupted bunch of High elves from the other side of the galaxy
But lets just call it truce ... the old gods and him are probably working together... just because their causes are similar

The Master Glaive
my friends. With this weapon, Sargeras or Aman'thul could defeat any Old God. EDIT: And if all the Old Gods were killed, Azeroth would be destroyed, that's why the Titans built prisons for the Old Gods, such as Yogg-Sarron, instead of killing them.

While it is true that the Titans imprisoned the Old Gods since killing them will kill Azeroth,it was by no means easy.Alot of Titans fough the Old Gods,alot of Titans died,alot of Titans realized the true meaning of the word Horror.But in the end the Titans won,what can we do :<.
So many Titans went trough so many pain to defeat the Wicked Master,Sergeras cant do it alone.And,this may sound crazy but...one of the reasons or even
the
reason for Sergeras going insane may be the Old Gods,not necesserly those on Azeroth.

even though there were only a few of the old gods on azeroth . They still had minions. The Elemental lords were under their control after all and they are at least as strong as the Aspects or even stronger

ok. Just there was always an uncertainty (eg. how in war of the Ancients they referred to them as the Three, etc.). So we can be sure there's 5 of them?
On Azeroth, there are only 5; C'thun, Yogg, N'Zoth and two others. Yogg was a part of the Three. But again, the Ordering story comes right out and says that the Titans sealed away 4 Old Gods in prisons, and that another group of them fought C'thun and 'killed' It, sending it's massive body to rest in the deserts of what would be Silithus. It's possible there are more out in the Deep Black, but on the planet, only 5.

There are varying numbers to the Old Gods depending on the source you look at. Sargeras is obviously a reference to Satan. Therefore it is not likely that any of the Old Gods will be based on Satan. As far as Sargeras being stronger than the Old Gods, it should be pointed out that their greatest strength is manipulation of the psyche. Sargeras has already shown a slight weakness of the mind, in that he was corruptible at all.
I'm not so sure Nozdormu is immune to the Old Gods' corruption. We still do not know how he will come to be in charge of the Infinite Dragonflight do we? I haven't read Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects, so I don't know if it reveals why. I hate to see the Old Gods behind everything, but there seems that they may very well be.
I'd like to ask; why would killing the Old Gods destroy Azeroth? What was the reason given,if any?

Its not always called Satan but there is commonly some kind of "ultimate evil" in fantasy storys, some kind of devil that trends twords the Satan metaphore.
Doubtful. Seems like Sargeras or maybe Kil'Jaden are meant to be the satan equivalent.This, since Sargeras mirrors the fall of Lucifer in some ways.
That and Kil'Jaden is a big red guy with horns, a tail, and hooves who may or may not have a goatee.
EDIT: Also Lucifer is an Angel, the Old Gods are GODS, clearly more powerful.
