Changes

===History=Background======Diablo ruled the [[Burning Hells]] together with his two elder brothers, [[Baal]] and [[Mephisto]] for eons. They were locked in an eternal war with the [[High Heavens]], and as always, hell had its own power struggles, primarily between the three [[Prime Evils]], and the five [[Lesser Evils]]. When the Archangel [[Inarius]] and the powerful demoness [[Lilith]] grew tired of this eternal war, they decided to create a refuge from it all, a [[Sanctuary]]. They, and other [[Demon]]s and [[Angel]]s, had children on Sanctuary, whom were neither demon nor angel, and significantly more powerful than either. These children were called the Nephalem, and Diablo found great interest in their lives. The war with the heaven halted, seeing what would happen with Sanctuary. The Sin War====ChronologicallyHigh Heavens, with [[Tyrael]] and [[Imperius]] in the forefront wanted this "abomination" eradicated. Diablo first appeared saw potential in the massive powers of the nephalem, and the [[Sin War trilogy]] began. When Tyrael and the angels saw goodness in the humans, which details the ancient conflict on they were content to leave them to it, but the world of [[SanctuaryWorldstone]]would act as a dampener, making the nephalem less powerful, and became humans.  The Lesser Evils, to blinded with their hate of Heaven, saw only the Prime Evils' meddling with Sanctuary as a distraction from the true war, and started a revolt in Hell. The Three were banished from Hell, and walked the earth of Sanctuary, spreading chaos in their wake. Posing as [[Dialon]], the Spirit of Determintaion, Diablo secretly led a group of religious fanatics in attempt to establish control over the realm. After the plan failed, the Archangel [[Tyrael]] created the [[Soulstone|Soulstones]] and charged the [[Horadrim|Horadric Order]] with the imprisonment of the Prime Evils. Diablo was imprisoned in a Horadric monastery that later became [[Tristram]], and immediately started trying to spread terror and corruption. A few hundred years later, he was strong enough to try and corrupt [[Leoric|King Leoric]]. The Lord of Terror invaded Leoric's dreams, attempting to corrupt and possess the King. Leoric was able to resist Diablo's presence, but he was driven mad by the ordeal. Diablo had already drawn in [[Lazarus|Archbishop Lazarus]], Leoric's most trusted adviser, and with Lazarus whispering into his ear, the mad king turned on his own people, executing those who disobeyed him, ordering his army into a suicidal war against the friendly neighbouring and previously allied kingdom of [[Westmarch]], and finally purging most of the townspeople from Tristram when his son, [[Albrecth]], vanished. The horrible truth was that it was Lazarus himself who kidnapped the boy. While Leoric was too strong for Diablo, Albrecht was not. The terror Albrecht felt in the tomb strengthened Diablo further, and he used Albrecht as his vessel. He inhabitated the body and warped it in a demonic shape. A hero travels through the Tristram labytinths, catacombs, caves all the way down to Hell in order to confront Diablo directly and ultimately defeated him. The misguided hero drove Diablo's soulstone into his own forehead, hoping to contain the demon himself. He took it upon himself to bring the stone to the East and to imprison Diablo once more. The [[Wanderer]] travelled the countryside, unleashing demons and horrors in his wake as he was slowly possessed by Diablo. Surrendering control to the demon within, the Wanderer freed [[Baal]] and [[Mephisto]], eventually travelling to Hell where he completed the transformation into his true demonic form. He was, however once again followed to Hell, where the pursuing heroes unlocked five seals to summon him in his Chaos Sanctuary. After defeating Diablo the heroes destroyed his soulstone, banishing him from Sanctuary back to the Burning Hells. If this was a permanent death of Diablo or not is unknown, but such an evil rarely dies easily.  ==Friends==Diablo's two older brothers:* [[Baal]]* [[Mephisto]] Diablo's favored servant or pet is the spider demon [[Astrogha]].

==Diablo Appearances======Diablo=I===

The first encounter with Diablo occurs after a lone hero journeys deep beneath [[Tristram|Tristram's]] Cathedral in search of a demonic presence plagueing the countryside. Diablo had nearly possessed the former ruler of Khanduras, [[Leoric|King Leoric]]. Finding the king too strong willed to dominate completely, Diablo instead possessed his son, [[Prince Albrecht]]. The hero takes a portal directly to Hell in order to confront Diablo directly, ultimately defeating him. The misguided hero drove Diablo's soulstone into his own forehead, hoping to contain the demon himself.
