==Personality==
[[File:Mepisto's_Seal.jpg|thumb|right|Mephisto's Seal.]]
Mephisto is presumed by some to be the most intelligent, strategic and analytical out of the three [[Prime Evils]], but the weakest in terms of power.
 
He is considered the most [[evil]] of the three, using this overpowering evil to bring the dead [[undead|back to life]], filling them with unmatched hate for the living to create some of the most persistent [[zombie]] creations possible.

Archangel [[Imperius]] nodded at Tyrael, in agreement to Mephisto's petition. Mephisto requested the Angiris Council to be given the rebel Angel Inarius to pay for the loss of his children: [[Lilith]] and [[Lucion]]; and the sealing of the truce.
Mephisto rose his hand and bit it to bleed his black fluids upon the place chosen by Tyrael. Afterwards, Inarius was given to Mephisto to be taken into the [[Burning Hells]] for eternity. Mephisto asked what would be done with the cavern and the find within -- referring to the [[Worldstone]]. Archangel Imperius said a new pact should be done about that. What this pact was is yet unknown. Mephisto agreed with Imperius that the [[edyrem]] were to begin at the beginning with their powers set dormant and their memories of the past events of the Sin War to be wiped from their mind. Mephisto requested the firstborn, [[Rathma]] and the other [[nephalem]] to be able to remember for they were few remaining and their day was at an end.
 
===New Sin Wars===

Millennia after this, the [[Burning Hells]] were still locked in the [[Great Conflict]] with the [[High Heavens]]. The humans' souls could be used by either side as an additional source of power, and thus [[angel]] and [[demon]] kind brought some of the battle to [[Sanctuary]] in stealth, trying to vie for the favour of man. This is also the [[Sin War]].

The corrupt angel [[Izual]] facilitated the idea, and the Prime Evils manipulated the [[Lesser Evils]] to throw the trio out of hell, banishing them on Sanctuary in spirit form, greatly weakened. The angels did not see it as a threat because they were so weak.
Something went wrong with their plans, however, when they were ===Capturing the Three===[[File:Mephisto_fan_art2.jpg|thumb|right|Fan art by klinesmoker]]Mephisto was the first [[Prime Evil]] to be captured, they were too weak and the [[Soulstone]] used to hold him was buried in a vault beneath the [[Temple of Light]] in [[Kurast]]. One third of the [[Horadrim]] brotherhood took residence in the tomb awaiting the capture of the remaining two Brothers. With high casualties to even break free from the stonesbrotherhood, and all of The Three were thus eventually captured.
Mephisto The original plan was buried in to just take the [[Kehjistan]] jungles, under what would become [[Kurast]]Soulstone and use it to channel energy from Hell. When each of the Prime Evils were first captured they had been sufficiently weakened to not even be able to escape.
===Modern Days===
Even while captured[[File:Mephisto3.jpg|thumb|left|Mephisto in his [[Durance of Hate]].]][[File:Durance of Hate.jpg|right|thumb|The full layout of Mephisto's [[Durance of Hate]].]]However, after centuries of trying, Mephisto finally managed to overcome the prime evils still had some power however powers of the Soulstone enough to influence and Mephisto used his to subtly start corrupting corrupt the local [[Zakarum]] churchpriesthood. Their warped priests  Mephisto made the use spells to shatter the Soulstone into seven shards, breaking the magical seal and freeing him. The six smaller shards were inserted into the left palms of six Zakarum [[Paladinarchbishop]]s by Mephisto, and other fanatics brought many lands they were ordered to bring him human sacrifices as nourishment and areas of [[Sanctuary]] under running their heelstemple. They travelled all The largest shard pierced the way to hand of the Western continent where [[King LeoricQue-Hegan]] would take over who had replaced [[TristramKhalim]] and invade , known as [[WestmarchSankekur]].The Que-Hegan is the highest divine authority of the Zakarum faith, and Khalim had been killed because he was uncorruptable by Mephisto. 
Mephisto used Sankekur's body to remain on the [[mortal plane]], warping it as normally happens with possessions. He used his power over the Zakarum faith to send emissaries to the west, eventually brining [[Leoric|King Leoric]] to [[Tristram]], and ending with [[Diablo]] being freed in the guise of the [[Dark Wanderer]], who freed his brother [[Baal]], and the three met up in Mephisto's Durance of Hate in [[Kurast]]. For years, the corrupted religious leaders of the Zakarum kept Mephisto supplied with information and misguided followers to carry out his plans of conquest.
[[Diablo]] was in the end freed, and travelled in the guise of the [[Dark Wanderer]] to the desert of [[Aranoch]], releasing [[Baal]] with the help of [[Marius]], and carried on towards the jungles and Kurast, where Mephisto still was captured. As the youngest was freed from under Tristram, he consolidated the forces of [[Hell]] and punished [[Andariel]] and [[Duriel]] for their actions against them (despite it being part of their plans).
The three sent Diablo to reclaim [[Burning Hells|Hell]], and Baal to conquer the [[Worldstone]]. Shortly thereafter the group of adventuring heroes arrived, killed the corrupt priesthood and destroyed Mephisto, going on to destroy his Soulstone on the [[Hellforge]], banishing him from the mortal realm permanently. The heroes also went on to kill Diablo in his own domain and Baal on [[Mount Arreat]], although not in time to save the Worldstone from corruption.
Mephisto was freed only for a short while as the group of heroes hunting Diablo arrived in Kurast and destroyed the oldest Prime Evil.
What has happened in the last 20 years since then is unknown. Whether or not he's truly dead is also hard to know, but true [[evil]] is very hard to destroy...

'''A remark and a wink hurled in Auriel's direction after Mephisto said:'''
:''"'We like you, made false assumptions about this place, false assumptions about the creatures spawned by both our kinds.' - A blazing red eye materialized, then winked in the direction of Auriel, who utterly ignored it."'' ([[Mephisto]], page 332 of [[Diablo: The Veiled Prophet]])

'''The [[Kiss of Mephisto]] destined for someone special:'''
When the Kiss of Mephisto (aka ''Blood Marble''), the stone that resurrects [[Morlu]] indefinitely is first mentioned in the [[Diablo: The Sin War]] trilogy, the name was explained to be because it was originally a gift for someone else, other than [[Lucion]].
