Sir Zeliek is one of the Four Horsemen of Naxxramas. He was a paladin in life, so strong in his faith, that even in undeath, the power of the light still heeds his call, smiting his foes in battle.[1]
Though his body is forced to obey Kel'Thuzad's commands, Sir Zeliek managed to retain his sanity and morals despite his corruption. This could be seen as a mark of great spirituality and mental strength.
Zeliek likely represents the "White Rider of Conquest", based on his color scheme and the wings on his helmet (signifying victory).

Ashbringer
Sir Zeliek fought against the party Darion Mograine led into Naxxramas. He stabbed Brannigan Thundermaul in the back, asking for forgiveness as he did so. Before he died, Brannigan managed to strike Zeliek in the head, temporarily taking him out of the fight. When Zeliek stirred, the battle was over, and he was left alone to lament his cursed existence.[2]
Wrath of the Lich King
Sir Zeliek survived his encounter in the first siege against Naxxramas in the Eastern Plaguelands, and returns as one of the Four Horsemen in the newly relocated necropolis, floating above the Dragonblight.

The paladin code of conduct states that if a paladin ever willingly commits an evil act, he or she should lose all Light-based abilities. This may explain why Zeliek still wields the Light - technically, everything he does is against his will.
