Characters from ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' include:
== The High Heavens ==
=== The Angiris Council ===
The Angiris Council is the ruling body of the High Heavens, formed to oppose the Great Evils of the Burning Hells. The Council comprises five Archangels, each of whom represents an aspect of Anu: Imperius the Archangel of Valor

=== Tyrael, Archangel of Justice ===
Tyrael is the Archangel of Justice and the closest thing the games have to a main good guy outside of the player characters. Despite or because of his standing as the Archangel of Justice, Tyrael has several times gone against the Council's decision to not interfere with the world of Sanctuary against the Great Evils. He is as a result something of a maverick within the Angiris Council. In particular, he and Imperius frequently butt heads over whether or not to aid humanity against the Burning Hells. He personally formed the Horadrim to combat the Prime Evils. Eventually, they, aided by Tyrael, succeeded and imprisoned the Prime Evils within their soulstones.
He first appears in the second game where he attempts to prevent the Diablo-possessed Aidan in freeing Baal, but he is overwhelmed and imprisoned by both in after Marius sets Baal free. He is freed by the heroes of the second game, however, and he subsequently aid them against Diablo from Pandemonium Fortress at the gates of Hell. In ''Lord of Destruction'', he is unable to aid against Baal, but after the Lord of Destruction's death, he arrives to find the Worldstone corrupted and as such subsequently finds it necessary to destroy it with his sword.

=== Imperius, Archangel of Valor ===
Imperius is the Archangel of Valor and the effective leader of the Angiris Council. As such, he is essentially the ruler of the High Heavens. Imperius is noted to be the greatest warrior in creation, and he has clashed with the Prime Evils several times. Despite his hatred of the demons, he refuses to help the humans of Sanctuary against them, as he believes the humans to be abominations that should be purged, as they were born of the union between an angel and a demon. Because of this, he frequently butts heads with Tyrael who wishes to aid the humans and interfere in the world of Sanctuary.

=== Diablo, Lord of Terror ===
Of the three Prime Evils, Diablo is the youngest brother
He was eventually slain by the hero of the first game: [[Knight in Shining Armor|Aidan]], a warrior of great prowess {{spoiler|and King Leoric's eldest son}}. However, this would be far from the last heard of Diablo, for the Aidan jammed the soulstone into his own head, believing his will strong enough to contain the Lord of Terror. Alas, he failed and Diablo took over his body and in the company of Marius, he set out east to free Baal and reunite with Mephisto, before he headed back into Hell to reclaim his dominion over it. The heroes of the second game managed to defeat him, however, and his soulstone was shattered, seemingly putting Diablo to rest forever. {{spoiler|Except

* [[Demonic Possession]]: Did this on the prince and later on the hero of the first game.
* [[The Dreaded]]: He is not known as the "Lord of Terror" for nothing.

* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}: {{spoiler|Damage him well enough, and you get this}}.
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: When his servants are torturing Adria, he orders them to not overly torture her, not because he cares about what she becomes, but because they once tortured someone in a so extreme way that he ended up unable to say anything understandable.

=== Azmodan, Lord of Sin ===
Line 231 ⟶ 229:

A Jeweler that the Nephalem comes across in the aqueducts outside Caldeum, while he was searching for a valuable cursed crucible. He tags along, but is also on a quest of his own that involves finding (and fixing) a magical jewel with an evil spirit trapped inside. He recalls the multiple misadventures (and romantic conquests) that he's had on his quest, but also states that the "never touched" [[Consumate Liar|truth]] and that [[Unreliable Expositor|his memory isn't all that good]]. There exists the possibility that he ''might'' be an ancient Xiansai [[The Trickster|trickster-god]]... or he might simply be a crazy old man.

=== Deckard Cain ===
[[File:
The last of the Horadrim, an order of scholars and magi formed by Tyrael to combat the threat of the Great Evils. Old and wise, he aids the heroes of the games by giving away useful knowledge and identifying certain items. He can come off as rambling and a bit too eager to locate certain truths. In the first game, he acts as the local town elder in Tristram and is, apart from Adria who fled the town beforehand, the only survivor of the fall of Tristram, having been stuck in a cage. He's eventually rescued by the heroes of ''Diablo II'', whereafter he aids them for all of the remaining acts. Following the destruction of the Worldstone, he believed that the demon invasion would come instantly. When he learned this wasn't the case, he travelled about for twenty years, along with his adopted niece Leah, searching for the pieces of the Prophecy of the End Days. While in the cathedral of Tristram, he has pierced almost the entire prophecy together, just as the Fallen Star lands on the cathedral and plunges Deckard down into its depth, starting the events of the third and final game.
----
* [[Action Survivor]]: He is supposedly not a fighter, but an avid adventurer as he has to gather certain knowledge from dangerous places. In addition, he is incredibly lucky when it comes to surviving certain death, like the fall of Tristram and the Fallen Star landing on him.
Line 271 ⟶ 267:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Stay a while and listen."
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}: {{spoiler|In the third game

=== Haedrig Eamon ===
[[File:
A blacksmith in the town of New Tristram in the third game. His grandfather was Chancellor Eamon, a close advisor to the king, who was buried with the king's crown so that the Skeleton King could never rise again. In New Tristram, he's the one in charge of disposing the people who has been bitten by the undead. However, he hesitates as he is about to have to kill his own wife, but the hero of the game assures and assists him in this task. Afterwards, he both sets up his blacksmith shop and tells the hero of the location of the crown so that the Skeleton King can manifest in physical form and finally die. When the hero retrieves it, he repairs it and sends the hero on his or her merry way.
----
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[The Blacksmith]]
* [[Blue Blood]]
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Uses an ordinary blacksmithing hammer to slay undead.
Line 291 ⟶ 287:
=== Lachdanan ===
[[File:
Captain of King Leoric's knights. As King Leoric's madness became apparent, and Lazarus' poisonous advice took hold of the king, Lachdanan was sent off to fight against Westmarch. When he returned from the disastrous campaign, he found the king's madness having only increased and that he was slaughtering the people of Tristram. As such, he found himself forced to slay the mad king. However, after having given the king a proper burial, he rose from the grave as the Skeleton King and cursed both Lachdanan and his men to servitude in death. While cursed, Lachdanan managed to flee as the only one, but as the curse took hold, he dared not venture out of the Tristram Cathedral for fear of turning on the people he should be protecting. The hero of the first game eventually acquired an elixir for him which allowed him to pass on peacefully. In the third game, his journal can be found scattered within the cathedral catacombs and a ghostly vision of him slaying the mad king appears before the hero fights against the Skeleton King.
----
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
Line 305 ⟶ 300:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: He was honor-bound to obey the king's command and fight against Westmarch.
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: After being cursed by the king, he asks the player to retrieve an elixir for him that'll allow him to pass on peacefully.
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Of all of Leoric's knights, Lachdanan is the only one who manages to withstand the curse and retain his own will.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Very loyal to King Leoric and dutifully obeys the call to fight against Westmarch despite knowing how bad an idea it is. However, when he returns to Khanduras, he finds the king slaughtering his own subjects in his madness, forcing Lachdanan to slay him.
* [[Old Soldier]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[The Undead]]: Was turned into one by the king's curse, but thankfully, he retained his mind and was helped to die by the hero of the first game.
=== Archbishop Lazarus ===
[[File:
King Leoric was a devoted follower of Zakarum and as such he placed great trust in Archbishop Lazarus from the Church of Zakarum. However, unbeknownst to him, the heart of the church had been corrupted by Mephisto and Lazarus was no exception. In the labyrinth underneath the cathedral in Tristram, he found Diablo's soulstone and shattered it, unleashing the Lord of Terror, who immediately tried to possess Leoric. While Diablo failed, Leoric was maddened by his attempts to possess him, and Lazarus used this opportunity to sow distrust of his own court in the king. He also manipulated the king to send his own army into a meaningless war against Westmarch which only weakened his own armies. After Diablo gave up trying to possess Leoric, Lazarus took Albrecht, Leoric's youngest son, down into the labyrinth underneath the cathedral where Diablo took over the prince's body. He was eventually slain by the hero of the first game when he came knocking, trying to find the missing prince.
----
* [[Beard of Evil]]
Line 329 ⟶ 324:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]
* [[Uriah Gambit]]: Manipulating the king into sending his armies against Westmarch safely disposed of a lot of Lazarus' foes in the court, with exceptions being [[Knight in Shining Armor|Lachdanan]] and {{spoiler|[[Warrior Prince|Prince Aidan]]}}.
=== Leah ===
[[File:
Introduced in the third game, Leah is the daughter of Aidan and Adria. After being born, she was left in the care of a supposed friend of Adria's, though at some point, Deckard Cain picked her up and raised her as his adoptive niece while they travelled around the world. Having been born after the Prime Evils had been slain and as such raised in a world without the threat of demons looming over the world, she is highly sceptical of her uncle's stories. She still aids him in his research, even if she does not believe in the Prophecy of the End Times that Deckard Cain searches so fervently for. A very driven young woman, she does her very best in aiding wherever she can, be it helping the guards of New Tristram or tending to the wounded all night.

=== King Leoric/The Skeleton King ===
[[File:
Leoric came to Khanduras as a lord from the east, and he quickly rose to becoming king of Khanduras. He ruled justly and wisely for many years, through which he was dearly beloved by his people. Alas, this was not to be. The cathedral in Tristram from which Leoric ruled turned out to have been built upon Diablo's prison. Released by the Archbishop Lazarus, Diablo promptly attempted to possess and take over the king. While the king was too strong-willed to be possessed, the ordeal gradually made him lose his own sanity. In addition, Lazarus fed him lies, convincing him to turn against the neighbouring kingdom of Westmarch, which was militarily superior to Khandrus, by making him believing Westmarch was plotting to overthrow him. Diablo eventually stopped trying to possess Leoric and instead turned on his youngest son Albrecht. Madder than ever with grief over his son being missing, the king turned on his own subjects in Tristram, for which the returning captain of his knights, Lachdanan, had him slain. Yet, this would not be the end of the king, as he rose from the grave and cursed the knights who slew him. He was eventually slain by the hero of the first game, Aidan, who {{spoiler|is revealed in ''Diablo III'' to have been his eldest son}}. He returns in the third game, having been awakened by the Fallen Star, however, not in fully physical form. He still commands his undead legions however and sends them against New Tristram, but the hero of the game eventually manages to make him manifest physically and slay the Skeleton King for the third and final time. In addition, his journal can be found within the lower levels of the cathedral, detailing his thoughts from his arrival in Tristram to his final bouts of madness.

=== Maghda ===
Line 389 ⟶ 383:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: She rarely goes for a direct approach, instead relying on her Coven, demon summoning, tricks and illusions. The only guy she killed personnally was {{spoiler|Deckard Cain}}, and she did it while he was weakened and immobilized by her minions. Even when you finally confront her, she goes half of the fight behind a shield and sending demonical slaves to fight you. The Wizard even lampshades it by saying he/she didn't thought she would have the guts to face him/her in person.

Needless to say, [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|your character doesn't really take it well

* [[The Insomniac]]: Throughout the second game's cinematics, he only gets to sleep for real '''once''' and that's out in the desert. Poor guy.

=== Zoltun Kulle ===
[[File:150px-
The most powerful of the original founding members of the Horadrim, Zoltun Kulle is... or rather ''was'' a mage of unparalleled power and skill, probably the best ''ever''. He was also completely [[Evil Sorcerer|insane]]. He participated in the Horadrim's hunt and capture of the three Prime Evils , and served as the keeper of the order's Soulstones. After the hunt was complete, he lost his sense of purpose, and became obsessed with the power of the Soulstones, and with duplicating and improving Tyrael's design for them. Eventually, he left the order and retreated to the deserts outside Caldeum, where he built his [[Eldritch Location|Archives]], a place where he conducted unspeakable experiments aimed at creating a Soulstone of his own, which he would then use to unlock his Nephalem potential (that the Worldstone had supressed). His evil spread so far, and became such a threat that the order rallied against him, eventually breaching his Archive and stopping him before he could complete the Black Soulstone, his creation. Since they were unable to kill him, however, the order instead removed his head, hiding it away while stashing his body in [[Another Dimension]], and sealed his Archive with a curse. Obviously, he's [[Not Quite Dead|far from dead]]...

[[File:
A warrior who served in the Mad King Leoric's campaign against the neighboring nation of Westmarch, when this man returned from service he found his beloved homeland cursed and set out to vanquish the source of the impending demonic invasion. In the end, the Warrior was able to defeat Diablo, but his fatal error was his decision to try and forever seal him away within his own body by plunging the soulstone into his head. His name is later revealed in ''Diablo III'' to be Aidan {{spoiler|and is also revealed to have actually been King Leoric's eldest son
