Please note that in most cases, the term "character" is slang for "player character" or "character class". It refers to the ''[[class]]'' you play in a given game. If a player says: "My Barbarian character", they really mean: "My character of the Barbarian class", it's just easier to say the first one.
===Previous Player characters===
Besides the [[Barbarian]] who is the same character carried over from [[Diablo II]] into [[Diablo III]], character usually have some impact on the environment.
In [[Diablo I]], the three main characters (the {{iw|Monk Monk}} and the other expansion characters are not [[canon]]) are seen as random adventurers entering the [[Tristram]] labyrinths, and each getting some sort of demonic corruption. The [[Rogue]] character turned into [[Blood Raven]], the [[Sorcerer]] turned into [[The Summoner]] and the [[Warrior]] was the one killing [[Diablo]]'s mortal body, plunging the [[Soulstone]] into his own head. He was then completely overcome by the demon, turning him into the [[Wanderer]]. This is pretty well described in [[Deckard Cain's Journal]].
Then starts [[Diablo II]], and a new band of adventuring heroes follows the Wanderer's footsteps to stop him freeing his brothers (and complete the transformation into Diablo). The group of heroes are generally counted as a solid group, with one or more of each class following through the story line. These are semi-anonymous, and as is previously stated, the only Diablo II character to appear in [[Diablo III]] is the Barbarian.
