Upon reaching New Tristram, the player may take up a quest to help Haedrigs' Wife, who is very sick. He asks the player to venture out into the wild, and see what he can do, as he cannot leave her side while she suffers. Upon completion of the Quest, Haedrig joins the player's Caravan, following him on his journey throughout Sanctuary.

It is unknown if his wife dies, lives or becomes part of the caravan.
