==Personality==
==Background==
===Sanctuary===
When the [[Angiris Council]] first discovered [[Sanctuary]], Tyrael was designated to lead Heaven's forces in destroying the "abomination". This was [[Imperius]]' view, one Tyrael sympathised with, since the whole existence of sanctuary comes from a defiled union of [[angel]]s and [[demon]]s.
When Tyrael witnessed [[Uldyssian]] sacrificing himself for the world of sanctuary he had a change of heart, and took the deciding vote within the council to save Sanctuary from destruction.
The council wiped the memories of all humans, and none now know that Tyrael could have been the one responsible for the undoing of all of humanity.
===The Horadrim===
After the existence of Sanctuary was secured, Tyrael has been ordered by his fellow angels on many occasions not to interfere with the mortal world. He has often disobeyed, fearing that Sanctuary would otherwise fall in the hands of the Burning Hells.
When the Prime Evils 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 Mephisto in the body of [[Tal Rasha]].
===The Worldstone===
Tyrael was captured by Baal after he failed to stop Diablo from releasing Baal but was eventually freed by the adventurers of [[Diablo II]]. He returned to the adventurers in the [[Pandemonium Fortress]], the last bastion before [[Hell]], to offer some assistance.
When [[Diablo]] was defeated and the adventurers had caught up with [[Baal]] to slay him, Tyrael made it clear that Baal had permanently corrupted the [[Worldstone]]. He decided that the only thing he could do to protect [[Sanctuary]] was to destroy the sacred relic.
The destruction left the massive [[Mount Arreat]] as nothing more than a crater, and dealt a devastating blow to the [[Barbarian]] tribes, who saw it as their life duty to protect the Worldstone.

Tyrael is seen in three places in [[Diablo II]]. The first is at the end 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 of Act Four, where Tyrael interacts with characters like any other [[NPC]], though of course he's 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 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]].
After a speech in which he asserts that Baal has poisoned the [[Worldstone]] and that it will no longer function to keep most of the forces of [[High Heavens|Heaven]] and [[Burning Hells|Hell]] from flooding into the mortal world, Tyrael creates a portal for the human heroes to leave.
