===Diablo 3 Theories=History==Many players believe that According to [[Deckard Cain]], Tyrael will be central to the plot "was renowned for being calm and controlled and meticulous in his execution of Diablo 3combat technique. They claim that he will suffer " Tyrael's weapon is the legendary ''El'druin'', the repercussions Sword of destroying the WorldstoneJustice, and has perhaps even been cast out of heaven he was known in the intermittent 20 years since his wings seem to ages before the rise of man as being at all times fair and impartial, as Justice should be smoking[http://diablo3x.com/diablo-3-website-tyrael-is-turning-evil] he may be also be corrupted and an enemy in the next game [http://forums.diii.net/showthread.php?t=669472]. Finally, in a Q&A session a Blizzard Representative said in answer to a question on The High Heavens and Tyrael:

<blockquote> "We are not going ===Pre-''[[Sin War (novels)|Sin War]]''===Though relatively little has been revealed about Tyrael's activities prior to reveal any details about [[Inarius]]'s betrayal and the Sin War, it is known that [[Izual]] once served under the Archangel of Justice as his "most trusted" Lieutenant, but I can say we do address a lot eventually chose to lead "an ill-fated assault upon the fiery [[Hellforge]]", resulting in his capture, torture, forced betrayal of the issues that you’re talking aboutHeaven, and fall from grace. I can extrapolate It seems also evident that Tyrael clashed himself countless times with the forces of Hell, and at some point encountered and likely fought against [[Mephisto]] and [[Diablo]], two of the high heavens aren’t very pleased about his actions. I probably shouldn’t say any more." [http://www[Prime Evils]].diii.net/blog/comments/diablo-3-open-qa-full-transcript1/] </blockquote>

The official website line is that Tyrael has been missing for ===''[[Sin War (novels)|Sin War]]''===Roughly three thousand years before the last 20 yearsdarkening of [[Tristram]] by [[Diablo]], a farmer by the name of [[Uldyssian]] decides to embark on a mission to destroy both the [[Triune]] and nobody has heard anything about himthe [[Cathedral of Light]], his latent powers secretly awakened by the disguised demoness [[Lilith]], managing to first decimate the ranks of the [[Prime Evil]]-founded Triune.

[[ImageFile:Tyreal_bareTyrael.jpggif|left|thumb|600px|]]While Tyraeldoes not appear in person in the first novel of the series, he is mentioned in ''[[Birthright]]'' by his brother, the renegade [[Inarius]], when the latter recalls his time serving as seen on a commander of the official home page. Some fans claim that High Heavens and his wings seem failed efforts to be just smoke, make even Tyrael see "reason" and realize what he saw as if he is being banished from the ultimate futility of the Eternal Conflict. Towards the end of the ''[[Scales of the Serpent]]'', Tyrael, though not mentioned by name, tells [[High HeavensAchilios]]that he has need of him, renders him unconscious, and spirits him away.[[Rathma]], [[Mendeln]] and [[Trag'Oul]]are unable to find any trace of Achilios, and, noting the absence of the Burning Hells' foul touch, realize that "another angel" other than Inarius has taken Achilios, meaning that Sanctuary had been discovered by the High Heavens at long last.

Uldyssian taps into his full potential and might in order to dispel the forces of both Heaven and Hell, but soon realizes that the raw power he had unleashed was threatening to destroy his entire world. After Trag'Oul tells him what must be done to save the realm, Uldyssian willingly sacrifices himself, thus saving Sanctuary, all those he loved, and, perhaps most of all, his own humanity.

THIS PLACE CALLED SANCTUARY HAS BROUGHT FORTH SUCH AS WE HAVE NEVER WITNESSED, THINGS I MYSELF CALLED ABOMINATIONS! Before Imperius could interrupt, Tyrael is known to only a very few.

THEY DO NOT... OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL... CHOOSE... YES... CHOOSE TO COMMIT SUCH GREAT SACRIFICE FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS...<br />...I DID CALL THEM ABOMINATIONS... AND I WAS WRONG! MY VOTE IS FOR THEM... FOR I WOULD SEE WHAT THEY MIGHT BECOME... AND MARVEL IN IT.</i></blockquote>

Since he was close to destroying Sanctuary himselfThis single decision by Tyrael would forever alter both his own nature and that of both Sin Wars, and from then on, originallygrowing endlessly fond of humanity and deeply impressed time and again by its innate potential for greatness, itTyrael began to intervene more and more frequently on mankind's clear behalf against the [[Burning Hells]], even going as far as acting against the mandates of his fellow Council members in order to protect the race he now cherished most. Ironically, hewho once callously manipulated and tried to annihilate humanity would in the following millennia serve as one of humanity's greatest and most devoted allies of all, understanding that perhaps not everything was so easily defined by mere laws after all, and embracing humans not afraid to take action against what as unnatural abominations, but as valiant and truly great "heroes", as he considers a threat to would call them, for the [[High HeavensLight]].

==Background=''[[Diablo (game)|Diablo]]''===After the [[Dark Exile]], Tyrael was the one responsible for establishing the [[Horadrim]] in order to protect Sanctuary from the [[Prime Evil]]s and the creation of the three [[Soulstones]] from the Worldstone itself. Moreover, he helped [[Tal Rasha]] and his fellow mages to imprison [[Baal]], offering crucial aid and advice to them. Tyrael's actions caused the Horadrim to hail him as their "Savior", for without his aid, Sanctuary would have long since fallen to Hell's unholy slavery.

===Sanctuary===When the [[Angiris CouncilDiablo]] first discovered was freed again, Tyrael openly intervenes, even directly grappling with the [[SanctuaryDark Wanderer]]to stop the release of Baal, Tyrael was designated but ultimately fails to lead Heavenstop the Prime Evils because of [[Marius]] removing Baal's Soulstone from Tal Rasha's chest. Ensnared by Baal's forces tentacles and bound to the Binding Stone in destroying the "abomination". This was [[ImperiusTal Rasha's Chamber]]' view, one Tyrael sympathised with, since is eventually freed by the player and travels to the [[Pandemonium Fortress]] where he gives the player the whole existence of sanctuary comes from a defiled union of [[angelquests]] to destroy [[Izual]]s and finally Diablo himself. He is unable to overtly help the player because according to his own words, he was severely weakened by Baal, who damaged the forces that bind him to Sanctuary, and also because he was wary of what could befall Sanctuary if the High Heavens were aware of the corruption that had so tainted it. After Diablo is defeated, he opens the portal to [[demonHarrogath]]s.

When Tyrael witnessed He appears again in the [[UldyssianLord of Destruction (game)|Lord of Destruction]] sacrificing himself for , when Baal is defeated, having been rendered incapable of direct intervention due to the Demon Lord. He informs the player that the world of sanctuary he [[Worldstone]], which had a change of heartbeen corrupted by Baal, must be destroyed in order to safeguard Sanctuary, and took subsequently does so with his Sword, but not before sending the deciding vote within heroes to safety. Tyrael's fate has been left to speculation, since he has been missing for the last twenty years after the council to save Sanctuary from destructionof the Worldstone.

The council wiped ==Appearance==[[File:TYRAEL.jpg|thumb|270px|Tyrael wielding [[Sword of Justice]]]]Tyrael has the memories appearance of all humansa tall, imposing humanoid. He is clad in burnished bronze and golden plate armor, and none now know that Tyrael could have been has tendrils of light coming out of his back which also double as wings. Although he is described in the one responsible for the undoing of all Diablo II manual to be "beautiful beyond comprehension", in game his face is a featureless mask of humanitydarkness.

===The Horadrim===[[File:Horadrim_SigilTyrael's tendril-like wings, being made of holy energy, do not seem to stay a uniform length.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Sigil of While in the [[HoradrimPandemonium Fortress]].]]After they seem to be only a few metres long in length, they are wider than the existence span of the [[SanctuaryWorldstone]] was secured, itself when Tyrael has been ordered by his fellow angels on many occasions not destroys it. They can also be utilized to interfere with ensnare foes or manipulate objects (such as closing the mortal world. He has often disobeyed, fearing that Sanctuary would otherwise fall in door to Tal Rasha's tomb after he and the hands of the [[Burning Hells]]Horadrim imprisoned Baal and Diablo.)

When the [[Prime Evils]] later were banished from hell during the [[Dark Exile]], Tyrael helped humanity to create the [[Horadrim]] and creating the Soulstones they used to imprison [[Diablo]], [[Mephisto]] and [[Baal]] with, centuries before the events covered in Diablo I and Diablo II. He also helped the Horadrim to seal the essence of Baal in the body of [[Tal Rasha]].  ===The Worldstone=Personality==[[File:Tyrael.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Tyrael destroying Even before his change at the [[Worldstone]].]]Tyrael was captured by Baal after he failed to stop Diablo from releasing Baal but was eventually freed by the adventurers end of [[Diablo II]]. He returned to the adventurers in the ''[[Pandemonium FortressSin War]]'', the last bastion before [[Hell]]Tyrael, to offer some assistance. When "not sounding sanctimonious like [[DiabloInarius]] was defeated and the adventurers had caught up with [[Baal]] to slay himbut rather simply stating a fact", Tyrael made it clear that Baal had permanently corrupted the [[Worldstone]]. He decided that the only thing he could do told Uldyssian to protect [[Sanctuary]] was to destroy accept the sacred relicinevitable end. The destruction left the massive [[Mount Arreat]] as nothing more than a craterFurthermore, and dealt a devastating blow to the [[Barbarian]] tribesunlike Inarius, who saw it as their life duty sought to humanity to protect the Worldstone. The Barbarian tribe leader [[Anya]] considers the destruction fuel his own vanity and tells us in her valediction that this action was never foreseen in ego, or the prophecies. ===Speculation: Tyrael's Agenda===[[File:Angel concept1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|This [[ArchangelPrime Evils]], who likely is Tyrael, is doing something powerful.]]Tyrael has appeared sought to humans in many other times and locations to assist the humans in the fight use humanity as weapons against the demonic forces. Amongst players there is much speculation as to Tyrael's real agendaHeavens, but in the game all of the [[NPCs]] seem to hold him in the highest esteem. However, the speculation includes notions such as Tyrael in fact caring nothing for humans, and the destruction of the [[Worldstone]] is for some devious purpose. Seen from a certain light, it seems strange he first supplied [[Soulstone]]s to the [[Horadrim]], only to ask the heroes to destroy them a few hundred years later. What implications will the destruction of the Worldstone have on [[marked Sanctuary]] and how do we know it really was corrupted beyond salvation? [[Baal]] had for destruction not spent THAT much time in the chamberout of particular hatred or cruelty, but because he truly finds doing both righteous and was necessary - the stone really so easy to corrupt? ===Friends===As with execution of his personality, it's hard to know if Tyrael ever had any human friends, but if he did, [[Tal Rasha]] would likely be part of those, as would [[Deckard Cain]] inviolable and the heroes who helped defeat the Prime Evilssacred Justice.  ===Foes===More than anything, Tyrael opposes the [[Burning Hells]] and [[demon]]kind. If has gone to great lengths to uphold this is his only motivation for helping humans on [[Sanctuary]]Justice, or if he perhaps is using the human world as a battlefield against Hell is unknown.  <!--===Other Related People===List anyone not included in friends/foes. Not limited even directly interceding whilst attempting to interactions in the games, but include books as well as rumours, but make sure rumours are marked as such.--> ==Previous Appearances==[[File:Tyrael.gif|right|thumb|180px|Tyrael in [[prevent Imperius from slaying Diablo II]].]]Also, Tyrael is seen in three places in [[Diablo II]]. The first is at notably the end only member of Act Two, when he greets the player from the island where Baal/Tal Rasha had been imprisoned. The second meeting comes in the [[Pandemonium Fortress]], the town Angiris Council to of Act Four, where Tyrael interacts with characters like any other [[NPC]], though of course he's his own volition undergo a bit less chatty. He is not a merchant, but he can resurrect dead [[follower|mercs]], for the usual price. What Tyrael does with the [[gold]] is an eternal question truly drastic change in personality and running joke for many players. The third sighting of Tyrael comes at the end of Act Five, when he descends from above after [[Baal]]'s defeat in the [[Worldstone Chamber]]worldview.

After In ''[[Diablo II]]'', Tyrael appears as a speech in which he asserts that Baal has poisoned positive character, personally protecting the last of the [[WorldstoneHoradrim]] , [[Deckard Cain]], and constantly offering considerable advice and aid to the player, transporting them around the world and telling them ways to save Sanctuary from the chaos of Hell. He is very concerned for mortals and is always seeking to aid them in their battles against the Prime Evils. He is (as far as immortals go) a friendly and that it will no longer function approachable personality. Compared to keep most some of the forces other members of the [[High Heavens|Heaven]] , Tyrael is also somewhat impatient and belligerent, as evidenced by his eagerness to help the mortals in contrast to his peers' aloofness, and his berating the player for arriving in [[Burning Hells|HellTal Rasha's Tomb]] from flooding into the mortal world, Tyrael creates a portal for the human heroes to leavetoo late.

After their departure==Powers==[[File:D3Tyrael.jpg|thumb|left|380px|The Justice of Angels]]As the Archangel of Justice of the supreme [[Angiris Council]] (thus described as being the "essence" of Justice, by Inarius, and champion of its aspect, by Mephisto), Tyrael hurls is one of the mightiest and highest-ranking [[Angels]] in the [[High Heavens]]. In the ''[[Sin War]]'' novels, he displays enough power on Sanctuary to restrain even [[Uldyssian]] (albeit through exploiting his sword into the Worldstoneweakness) and easily render unconscious and seize control over [[Achilios]], causing it almost forcing him to shatter into countless millions slay his friends against his will, also providing him with a never-ending supply of piecessharp, and its this explosion in some manner, magical arrows. Tyrael can use his tendrils of energy, or his wings, to physically hinder and grab onto other objects and apparent doom for humanity that fills the final cinematic of Diablo IIcharacters.

For more information about While palpably formidable enough to dominate [[Diablo]] in his [[Wanderer]] form, Tyrael apparently lacked the strength to take on both Diablo II NPC and Baal at the same time, and for all his power and authority seemed "unsettled" when he spoke the name of Diablo, who he deems to be the "worst of the [[Three]]". In addition, in the scene with Marius, Tyraelseemed to have either slowed down the passage of time itself or brought himself and Marius to another plane briefly. Notably, see: '''{{iw|Tyrael Tyrael}}'''was able to destroy the primal Worldstone artifact with but a single strike from his signature weapon, the ancient Sword of Justice.

So far of course only Contrary to popular belief, he takes [[gold]] to revive [[Diablo IImercenaries]], leading to many calling him a money-hoarder.Blizzard jokingly explained this behavior by saying that Tyrael has to pay certain bills.He also opens the portal to Harrogath.* '''Tyrael can be seen in four Diablo II [[Tyrael dialoguecinematics]]s''', and in Diablo 3 teaser trailer.
