==Background==
The male Barbarian character himself is the same individual from as in [[Diablo II]].
Lead by [[Bul-Kathos]], the tribes called "barbarians" by the people of the [[Western Kingdoms]] united in for and took upon themselves a sacred charge, duty to protect [[Mount Arreat]] and its mystical secrets, until it was destroyed. They call themselves the [[Children of Bul-Kathos]], and have seen their culture collapse after the destruction of the [[Worldstone]] and Mt. Arreat.
The Children of Bul-Kathos developed a kinship with the land over the years, and learned to harness the primal energies in nature to enhance their own substantial physical prowess, popularly referred to as "[[fury]]". They also developed a spiritual strength that far surpasses most of the living and dead creatures found throughout Sanctuary. [[Ancient]] spirits even guarded the very gates to the [[Worldstone]] Keep. A number of Barbarians started roving the lands outside the Steppes, prepared for war and seeking information regarding the activities of the [[Prime Evil]]s before . This lead to the conflict events that ended with transpired in [[Diablo II]], which had the once proud Barbarians see their homelands destroyed and their culture collapse after the destruction of the [[Worldstone]] and Mt. Arreat. In his personal history, the Barbarian found in [[Diablo III]] defeated [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Baal Baal], only to learn from [[Tyrael]] that the Worldstone had been corrupted and would have to be destroyed. The destruction of the Worldstone caused a shockwave so powerful it blasted Mount Arreatto rubble, destroying the remainder of Baal's army in the process, thus saving the Barbarian lands from its invasion. However the Barbarians found their sacred Mt. Arreat laid to complete waste, and the duty that had been theirs for generations was therefore broken.
