==Cain's Personalityin Diablo 3==
[[Jay Wilson]] spoke about Cain's personality in an interview from [[BlizzCon 2008]] [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/]. According to Jay, Deckard is darker and more somber this time. It's been twenty years since the events in Diablo II, and Cain's spent that time questing for more ancient knowledge, and trying to warn his fellow citizens that the danger is not past. No one listens, people don't want to believe or think about such things, and Cain's grown increasingly desperate. He's now a tragic, reclusive figure.
Here's a quote. [http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p1.html]
::'''''IGN: '''Considering everything else as well, how has Cain changed? He's been a threat throughout the previous games and expansions…
::'''Jay Wilson: '''Well, Cain's obviously a lot older, reaching towards the end of his life. One of the things that has plagued him all these years is that growing up, he was never much of a believer in the Horadric Order which was kind of handed down to him. It wasn't really until the events of the original Diablo that he came to realize this was all true, a serious threat. Throughout the original Diablo and Diablo 2, he re-familiarized himself with what he grew up with.
::He's spent the last 20 years trying to atone, he's always felt that if he had been more active earlier on, maybe he could have stopped it, maybe he could have prevented all this from happening. So that's what he's spent this time trying to do, trying to figure out how he can put an end to all of this and stop it once and for all. His urgency has become even stronger, because he knows he's reaching the end of his life. So it's made him fanatical, a little bit, a darker character.
