When the [[Prime Evils]] were exiled from [[Burning Hells|Hell]] into the Mortal Realm by the [[Lesser Evils]] a group of mages brought together by the [[Archangel]] [[Tyrael]] organised themselves as te the [[Horadrim]] and in order to defeat them and bind them to [[Soulstone]]s which were provided by [[Tyrael]].

The [[Horadrim]] caught up with Baal near the desert city, [[Lut Gholein]], and although they where eventually able to subdue the demon, the [[Soulstone]] that was meant to imprison him shattered in the process. The remaining shards of the Soulstone still behaved as the original one, but were not big enough to contain the essence of Baal for very long.

Realizing that, Tal Rasha theorized that a mortal of strong will should be able to contain Baal within his own soul, dooming that man to wrestle with the demon for all eternity. Tal Rasha volunteered himself for the process, guided by Tyrael, Jered Cain and his fellow Horadrim were led to a secret tomb, one of seven tombs located in the [[Canyon of the Magi]], there they had built a great binding stone, and chained their leader to it. After being bound to the stone, the fragment of the Soulstone containing Baal was pierced through the chest of Tal Rasha by the Archangel Tyrael, thus completing the prison, dooming Tal Rasha to struggle for eternity against Baal.  In [[Diablo II]] the [[Dark Wanderer]] and [[Marius]] find [[Tomb of Tal Rasha|Tal Rasha's tomb]]. Tyrael stops the Wanderer from reaching Baal, however, Marius ends us removing the stone from Tal Rasha's chest and releases Baal. He is still in possession of Tal Rasha's body allowing him access to all of Tal Rasha's power and knowledge. At the End of Act V, Tal Rasha's body is destroyed.

 ==ItemsTrivia==Tal Rasha inspired one of the few most powerful sets of [[Diablo II ]] items which have Display Auras: {{iw|Tal_Rasha's_Wrappings Tal Rasha's Wrappings}}.  The Diablo II {{iw|Act_II Act II}}monster called {{iw|Greater_Mummy Greater Mummy}} and related mummies can sometimes be heard saying "Tal Rasha".
