Diablo Lord of Terror

Diablo's lair was eventually invaded by the Shard-seeker, who confronted Diablo after destroying his avatar. A fierce battle raged between them, and the heroes were protected the worst of Terror's might by El'druin. Diablo was eventually defeated but was able to immediately resurrect himself through the Worldstone shard in his possession[39] (which had become Diablo's soulstone after he attuned it to himself) Eventually, after a long arduous battle and with the sacrifice of Tyrael's spirit, the Shard-seeker thrusts El'druin into the Worldstone shard, shattering it, and destroying Diablo, ending his reign of Terror. Prime Evil The Dragon Reborn "I LIVE! But I am more than I once was. The Seven Evils are one within me. I am the Prime Evil!"

• Diablo, upon his rebirth Twenty years passed since Diablo's defeat in Hell, but it was not his end. Over the two decades, his servant, Adria, remained active in Sanctuary. She gathered the essences of the five Great Evils that had been slain (including Diablo), whose essences lingered in the mortal plane. After those two decades, she had succeeded, leaving only two lords of Hell remaining—Belial, and Azmodan. The essences were prepared for absorption into the Black Soulstone,[48] as per Diablo's plan of taking their essences into himself.[24] Adria allied herself with a group of mortal heroes, including the Nephalem, and her daughter, Leah. Diablo's host, now ready to be his vessel. With the conclusion of the Siege of Bastion's Keep, Azmodan had followed Belial in defeat, and now, all seven essences were in the soulstone.[24] However, Adria showed her true colors, as she bound Tyrael in arcane chains, and using the bodies of dead guards, formed a ritual circle around Leah. Plunging the Black Soulstone into Leah's flesh, Diablo was now reborn. Into her now evil form and coming around as she is free again.

The people at the World's Crown were the first to witness his terror. They tore out their eyes and mutilated their bodies until they were no different from monsters.[38] In preparation for his armies to invade he created a Terror Verge; a region where Sanctuary overlapped with the Realm of Terror.[39] To deter any mortal defenders, Diablo coated large parts of the island with terror-inducing mists that drove any within them insane.[40]

The Shard-seeker arrived at World's Crown with an army of allies.[41] With the help of El'druin, they were able to overcome Diablo's agents and clear the mists. By the time the army amassed to attack Diablo, he had broken Verathiel and corrupted her angelsong.[42] With her, the ingredients for the unmaking (an angel, a demon, and the Worldstone) were complete.[43] As the army approached, Diablo forced Verathiel to sing into the shard. Diablo harnessed her corrupted song to begin eroding the barrier between Sanctuary and the Realm of Terror. Wherever each note of the Song of Unmaking passed, all living matter was turned to ash and the barrier between both realms began to erode. The armies of the Protectors of the World suffered heavy casualties in the event.[44] After that, Diablo left Verathiel chained up and retreated to his lair. After the Unmaking was halted,[45] Diablo summoned the Bride of Hell to punish her for her failure to kill the Shard-seeker[46] before they spoilt his plans. As a start, he stripped his boons from her. She begged for mercy, reporting the existence of another stone, and promising that she had more to offer. Diablo looked through Adria's memories to confirm her words, and saw a memory of the one who would be the key to his ascension. Pleased with her offer, he banished her to begin setting things in motion.[47]

The Order "I know that face..."

• Belial upon seeing Leah (and Diablo within her)(src)

By 1272, Leah was beginning to manifest magical abilities and, at times, operated in a trance, as if guided by some unseen hand. Once in Caldeum, as her house burnt down, she entered a trance, and caused the temperature of the house to decrease. Once, at Brand Manor, when cultists tried to sacrifice her, her innate magic resurfaced, and walking across the room, as if in a trance, she was able to free Deckard Cain as well. And when Belial's servants attacked the First Ones outside Gea Kul, she was able to use her magic to kill several of the attackers before she was captured.

Finally, inside the Dark Tower, even in a trance, Leah's magic was activated, protecting her body against Rau. She later came face to face with Belial. When he saw Leah, Belial was caught offguard, as he beheld Diablo within her.[19] Diablo set his sights on Sanctuary, mustering an invasion. With a merciless force of fearsome foot soldiers at his back, Diablo sought to tear away the fabric of the mortal realm. His growing influence warped sections of Sanctuary into a nightmarish hellscape.[32] The legions of Hell ran rampant, paving the way for Diablo's imminent arrival.[33] The Worldstone shard gave Diablo clear access to the minds of mankind,[34] and he assaulted the people of Sanctuary with tormenting visions, such as images of his domain, crushing their spirits before corrupting their souls. However, in so doing, he exposed the power hidden within those who were able to withstand his nightmarish assault.[35]

Sanctuary's Unmaking "This world... made by an angel, a demon, and a stone. Where is your Sanctuary now?"

• Diablo, as he begins the ritual to unmake Sanctuary As the year reached its end, the fully restored Diablo moved his forces to the World's Crown;[36] a desolate land at Sanctuary's North Pole. His plan was to unmake Sanctuary and fuse it with the Realm of Terror, creating an endless cycle.

After being banished to the Black Abyss, Skarn bound Diablo's skull to his throne to use as a power source and to prevent his master from returning. Once he was killed in 1270, Diablo's soul was able to use his skull to return from the Black Abyss. He then tried to kill the Shard-seeker, but was interrupted by an angel, who teleported them away, seemingly at the cost of her life.[28]

Dark Rebirth "The Heart of Creation and I beat as one."

• Diablo, just after he attunes himself to a Worldstone shard(src) Approximately two years later the Cult of Terror travelled to Tristram Cathedral with a Worldstone shard in their possession. With the shard, they resurrected Albrecht—a former host of Diablo, as a new breed of monster. Using the shard, Albrecht's memories were manifested as a seperate plane. Adria, as the Bride of Hell, ventured into the plane, looking for the memory with the strongest imprint of Diablo—where Albrecht was possessed. Using the imprint, she opened a portal directly to Diablo. Though the Shard-seeker tried to stop it, Diablo was able to attune the shard to himself and began reconstructing his body.[29] Splintered Souls "Do you see? This is the price of your defiance. You are broken, just like your broken world."
• Diablo to the Shard-seeker, after showing them a vision of Verathiel's torture While he reconstructed his body, Diablo paid attention to the Shard-seeker, who had travelled to the Southern Dreadlands in search of an artifact that could help foil Diablo's resurrection. At various points of their journey, Diablo dragged the Shard-seeker into nightmares and sent Terror Demons to kill them.[30][31] When it didn't work, he showed them a vision of Verathiel, still alive and tortured by him. As they despaired Diablo tried to personally kill them, but was thwarted by Tyrael.

The Rebirth of Terror "Now my young brother, the time has come to assume your true form! Arise Diablo, Lord of Terror!"

• Mephisto In Travincal, it was found that Mephisto had already succeeded in corrupting the Zakarum faith. Diablo used his powers of fear to cause the uncorrupted defenders to flee and/or turn on each other. Regardless, Mephisto's soulstone was found, and the Lord of Hatred quickly took possession of Que-Hegan Sankekur. After centuries, the Prime Evils were reunited. Within a chamber, the Primes devised a final stratagem to retake the Burning Hells, claim vengeance on those who had turned on them and use their corrupted soulstones to corrupt the Worldstone, thereby enslaving humanity to their will. The Infernal Gate was opened and Diablo took full control over the Wanderer's body, assuming his true form,[7] and entered Hell, ready to rally Hell's legions to the Primes' cause.[23] It did not come to pass, however, as a group of heroes who had pursued the Wanderer since Khanduras, entered Hell itself in their pursuit of the Lord of Terror. Within the Chaos Sanctuary, a final battle played out, and Diablo was bested.[7] Taking Diablo's soulstone, once again containing the demon's essence, they destroyed it upon the Anvil of Annihilation, supposedly banishing his soul into the Black Abyss.[7] Through their actions, the heroes had forever loosened Diablo's hold on Sanctuary.[27]

The Dark Wanderer "Many moons have passed since I left the town of Tristram behind me. Since then I've tried to forget the terrors I beheld beneath the cold earth. And the twisted nightmares that have haunted my every waking moment. There's something dark within me now. I can feel it. Driving me towards the east. Assuring me that my salvation lies within the ruins of ancient kingdoms. Though I know the way, I know not what perils will rise to hinder my journey. And as I pass through the first gate, I know that the better part of my soul will remain behind. Forever..."

• Aidan's reflections Though he wrestled with Diablo's presence, Aidan's will became subverted by the Lord of Terror.[23] Tormented by his experiences, Aidan sought solace with Adria, who saw Diablo's essence within him.[24] The two spent many nights behind closed doors, and through this liaison, Adria became pregnant with a child. When the time was right, this infant would be Diablo's vessel to become the Prime Evil.[24] Years later, Cain would speculate that this had been Diablo's plan all along, to lure in the strongest of heroes and find a new, perfect host for himself.[7]

Wearing the guise of the Dark Wanderer, Diablo took his host eastward, seeking to free his brothers. Traveling through Eastgate Keep, Diablo summoned numerous demons to his side, driving the Sisters of the Sightless Eye from their home. In the mountains that separated Khanduras from Aranoch, the Wanderer did the same thing to a tavern, sparing only Marius, who had previously survived the fall of Eastgate. The Wanderer beckoned, and Marius followed.[25] Eventually, the two reached the Tomb of Tal Rasha. Upon entering the tomb, the Wanderer appeared to gain strength. Or rather, as Marius observed, appeared to be losing what was left of his humanity, his visage becoming more demonic. Either way, the Wanderer led the way into the tomb, undeterred by the gloom. Eventually, the pair reached the Binding Stone where Tal Rasha,

Tristram was left without an army, or a king, and the demons that Diablo had spawned brought further grief to the town. Deep beneath the foundations of the ruined monastery, Diablo gorged himself upon the fears of the mortals above him. He slowly sank back into the welcoming shadows and began to harness his depleted power, knowing that the time of his victory was close at hand.

However, Diablo's terror did not go unchallenged. A trio of heroes – Aidan, Moreina and Jazreth – descended into the labyrinth to confront the evil that had gripped Tristram. Reaching what Aidan later described as "the threshold of Hell itself," the trio confronted Diablo. The battle that followed was desperate, as Diablo did not just battle the heroes physically, but mentally as well, as Aidan was forced to battle his own fears. However, spurred on by the disappearance of his brother, Albrecht, Aidan and his companions fought on, wearing the demon down. Ultimately, Aidan himself delivered the killing blow. However, as he watched Diablo's form dissolve, Aidan saw to his horror that Albrecht's body lay before him. To make matters worse, as Diablo's soulstone had been broken by Lazarus, it could not contain the demon indefinitely. Believing he could contain Diablo's essence, Aidan plunged the soulstone into his forehead. Blood filled his vision, the whispers of the damned echoed in his ears and Aidan could feel Diablo himself clawing his way up from the dark recesses of his soul. But he had done it. Diablo had been contained.To make matters worse, as Diablo's soulstone had been broken by Lazarus, it could not contain the demon indefinitely.

Diablo intended to venture once more into the mortal world and free his captive brothers Mephisto and Baal. The Prime Evils would be reunited, and together they would reclaim their rightful place in Hell.[1]

Lazarus, still loyal to Diablo, led a group of townsfolk into the depths of the cathedral, in a supposed attempt to save Albrecht. He led them into the lair of the Butcher, who slaughtered most of them, leaving others to flee. This 'sacrifice' strengthened Diablo further, giving him the power to summon demons to terrorize the surrounding countryside.[21]

The Reign of Terror "No one could save Tristram. The people there never understood that. Not Cain. Not Prince Aidan. Not the others who remained in town to stop the chaos. Tristram was already lost. It was gone the moment my master's influence slipped into the minds of Leoric and his people. The moment he sensed the king's fears and made them into living nightmares. Diablo defeated the people of Tristram before they even knew of his presence. How could anyone ever stand against a force like that?"

Lazarus kidnapped Albrecht (Leoric's son) and dragged the terrified youth down into the blackness of the labyrinth.[1] Diablo then commanded Lazarus to set the prince free, and haunted him as he ran through the labyrinth. Eventually, Albrecht came to a dead end, and could only watch in terror as Diablo's spirit approached him.[20] His fear made his Diablo gazed upon his surroundings through the eyes of the young prince. A lustful hunger still tortured the demon after his frustrating bout of control over Leoric, but the nightmares of the boy provided ample substance to sate him. Reaching deep into Albrecht’s subconscious, Diablo ripped the greatest fears of the child from their hiding places and gave them breath. The terrors of Albrecht's imagination were given physical form. Such was the terror that grew within Albrecht that Hell itself began to seep into the mortal realm. Diablo, at last, took physical form, as Albrecht's body was altered to match Diablo's own form. When the moment was right, Diablo intended to venture once more into the mortal world and free his captive brothers Mephisto and Baal. The Prime Evils would be reunited, and together they would reclaim their rightful place in Hell.[1mind defenseless, and Diablo flooded the boy’s mind with the essence of pure terror, and easily took possession of the prince.[1]Diablo gazed upon his surroundings through the eyes of the young prince.

Although he was released from his imprisonment within the soulstone, the Lord of Terror was still greatly weakened from his long sleep and required an anchor to the world. Once he had found a mortal form to wear, he could begin to reclaim his vastly depleted power. The great demon weighed the souls residing in the town above, and chose to take the strongest of them— that of King Leoric. For many months, the king secretly fought the evil presence that twisted his thoughts and emotions. Sensing that he had been possessed by some unknown evil, Leoric hid his dark secret from his priests, hoping that somehow his own devout righteousness would be enough to exorcise the corruption growing inside him. He was sorely mistaken. Diablo stripped away the core of Leoric’s being, burning away all honor and virtue from his soul. Lazarus too had fallen under the sway of the demon, keeping close to Leoric at all times. Lazarus worked to conceal the plans of his new Master from the Order of Light, hoping that Diablo's power would grow, well concealed amongst the servants of Zakarum. Nonetheless, Leoric's change in demeanor could not be ignored. However, by starting a war with Westmarch, he was able to rid his court of prying eyes, allowing Diablo to assert full control over the king's battered soul.

As the Lord of Terror attempted to strengthen his hold upon the maddened King, he found that the lingering spirit of Leoric fought with him still. Although the control over Leoric that Diablo held was formidable, the demon knew that in his weakened state he could never take complete possession of his soul as long as a glimmer of his will remained. The demon lord sought a fresh and innocent host upon which to build his terror. The demon relinquished his control over Leoric, and began to search throughout Khanduras for the perfect vessel to act as his focus, and found such a soul easily within his reach. Enjoined by his dark master, Lazarus kidnapped Albrecht (Leoric's son) and dragged

{{char}} The Darkening of Tristram The King and the Prince "I am convinced that some malevolent being is attempting to wrest control of my thoughts away from me. Voices direct me to horrendous acts, and there are times when I seem unable to control my body. Lazarus knows; this is certain. He looks at me strangely when he thinks me otherwise disposed."

• Leoric in his journal(src)

Over two centuries after his imprisonment, Diablo's chance at freedom came in the form of King Leoric, who appropriated the cathedral and nearby town of Tristram as his seat of power. Sensing that freedom was within his grasp, Diablo entered the nightmares of Archbishop Lazarus (a servant of Leoric) and lured him into the dark, subterranean labyrinth beneath the cathedral. In his terror, Lazarus raced throughout the abandoned hallways until he, at last, came to the chamber of Diablo's soulstone. No longer in command of his body or spirit, he raised the stone above his head and uttered words long forgotten in the realm of mortals. His will destroyed, Lazarus shattered the soulstone upon the ground. Diablo once again came into the world of Man.[1] He told Lazarus of the existence of Heaven and Hell, and the Eternal Conflict that waged between them,[2] and of the Dark Exile, of Mephisto and Baal, and of his intent to free them from their prisons in the far East.[3] Lazarus eventually came to be Diablo's servant.[2]

The Dark Exile {{char}}

"So it came to be that the Three Prime Evils were banished in spirit form to the mortal realm and after sowing chaos across the East for decades, they were hunted down by the cursed Order of the mortal Horadrim. The Horadrim used artifacts called Soulstones to contain the essence of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred and his brother Baal, the Lord of Destruction. The youngest brother – Diablo, the Lord of Terror – escaped to the West. Eventually the Horadrim captured Diablo within a Soulstone as well, and buried him under an ancient, forgotten Cathedral. There, the Lord of Terror sleeps and awaits the time of his rebirth. Know ye that he will seek a body of youth and power to possess – one that is innocent and easily controlled. He will then arise to free his Brothers and once more fan the flames of the Sin War..." Diablo and his brothers had kept Sanctuary's existence a secret from the Lesser Evils, and that had driven a wedge between them.[7] That they continued to be interested in Man's potential after the Sin War did not sit well also and the Lesser Evils rose up in rebellion.[1] Mere days before the rebellion's end, Izilech defied Diablo. The Lord of Terror's wrath left Izilech permanently deformed, but Izilech's will endured.[17]

The conflict ended with the Lesser Evils' triumph, and Diablo and his brothers were banished into Sanctuary in what became known as the Dark Exile.[1] In truth, this was a plan on the Primes' part to corrupt the Worldstone and corrupt humanity. While Diablo and his brothers were free to wreak havoc for a few decades, their presence came to be discovered by the archangel Tyrael, who formed the Horadrim to find and capture the three brothers.[7]

The banishment of the Prime Evils from Hell to the mortal plane also left them incorporeal. In other to acquire a physical form, they required a body for their spirit to possess. Over time their demonic presence twisted the victims human flesh into grotesque simulacrums.

{{char}} The Eternal Conflict came to a halt with the disappearance of the Worldstone. However, due to the actions of the Vizjerei, the powers of Hell came to learn of the existence of Sanctuary and its inhabitants—creatures that had been born from the coupling of angels and demons.[7] Diablo informed his brothers of this new world's existence.[13] Sensing the dormant power within humanity and reasoning it could be turned to suit their own ends, the Prime Evils began a campaign to tip humanity over to their side. To this end, they founded the Triune—a seemingly benevolent religion that was actually a front for their true motives. Each of the Primes took on an alter ego for worship and in Diablo's case, he was known as Dialon, the Spirit of Determination,[7] represented by a ram in Triune iconography. "Dialon" was said to bring purpose to humanity,[14] and carried the "Tablets of Order."[15]

The Triune's efforts to ensnare humanity were hindered by the rogue angel Inarius however, who founded the Cathedral of Light. Thus began the Sin War.[7] Rise of the Nephalem

About sercert of {{user}} "I tasted your fear, angel. There would have been nothing for me to devour if what you say is true. This mortal, this Uldyssian, He has become more than any of us would imagine. He risks all that either of us desires of Sanctuary!"

• Diablo to Inariu Diablo later came into contact with Uldyssian himself, after the nephalem nearly drowned. He offered Uldyssian his own allegiance, pointing out the dogmatic thinking of Inarius and Heaven, of the "sin" they saw as being inherent in Sanctuary. Uldyssian fought the demon off and was able to craft the water into a mirror of ice as Diablo rose to face him. In an instant, Diablo was subjected to his own innate terror, as the fears he had been thrusting onto Uldyssian were transformed into his own. Howling, Diablo fled.[16]

In the end, the conflict ended with both Heaven and Hell agreeing to respect Sanctuary's neutrality in the Great

"The Lord of Terror may be the greatest evil Creation will ever know. A masterful manipulator who has handcrafted eons of fear and shaken the foundations of the Eternal Conflict, Diablo's every "defeat" undermines hers enemies and ties other demons tighter to hers yoke. To strive against such an undying force is brave futility; to imagine victory is madness."

• Character description(src) Al'Diabolos, the Lord of Terror, more commonly known as Diablo, is the youngest of the three Prime Evils, and the titular main antagonist of the Diablo game series. Diablo was the youngest of the Prime Evils, but I found her the most dangerous, for her power over terror left her incapable of feeling fear. Though she had easily possessed and corrupted many humans, Diablo's essence was finally trapped in a soulstone and banished to the unfathomable Abyss twenty years ago. As with all the Great Evils, Diablo spawned from one of the seven heads of the great dragon Tathamet. Her domain in the Burning Hells was the Realm of Terror. She, Mephisto, and Baal were the three Prime Evils, and from the outset, warred amongst each other to maintain dominion and rule over the legions of the Burning Hells. Under Diablo's command, the Wrathborne solidified Diablo's rule in Hell.

As with all demons, Diablo partook in the Eternal Conflict. However, the Prime Evils rarely worked together, though when they did, he served as the harbinger of their wrath. One example of these rare instances of cooperation was the Fifth Battle of the Diamond Gates, and just when it seemed that the Prime Evils would win the Great Conflict, they turned on each other, fighting over spoils that they had yet to win. With this discord in Hell's ranks, Heaven was able to drive the forces of Hell back. On one such battlefield, Diablo battled Imperius. They fought each other to a standstill as Diablo commented on Imperius's rage, and wondered aloud if his enemy (Imperius) feared of how the angels saw him for what he truly was.
