===Diablo 2 Act Five Mercenary Name Change===
This mysterious event occurred when the D2 v1.13 patch was released in 2009. The patch.txt said that two Mercenary names, "Klar" and "Tryneus" were added, and when fans dug into the code they discovered:<ref> {{cite web | url = http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/the-mystery-of-klar-and-tryneus/ | title = v1.13, Act 5 Merc Name Changes | accessdate = 2010-08-13 | date = 2010-12-15 | publisher = Diii.net | quote = One of the odder tidbits in the v1.13 patch notes is this little line, “Updated two Act 5 mercenary names to Klar and Tryneus.” What does this mean? Why was the change made? }}</ref>
::In 1.13, MercX136 is called 'Klar', in 1.12 it was 'Weohstan'.
If there's some plot reason to use the names of two Act Five mercs in Diablo 3, Blizzard could easily have just used two existing merc names. That they changed the names in this fashion, intentionally calling attention to their actions, makes it seem meaningful.
