Changes

NPCs, Non-Player Characters, are the principle sources of information about the game's [[lore]]. They are also the usual sources for [[quests]] and quest rewards, and the NPC merchants are invaluable for equipping your hero for battle.

Here is the list of confirmed NPCs that are going to be in Diablo 3.

By the looks of it, Deckard Cain will be a major NPC in Diablo 3.

As of now, we don't have a lot information concerning the Non-Player Characters. Because of that here is a section dedicated to possible NPCs as well.

Be as it may, it is clear that there is some significance to the appearance on the cinematic trailer, as these take a substantial amount of time to prepare. Any random NPCs may be dropped out of the game as the development progresses but Leah was important enough to be put in the trailer which they had to begin working on months before the game announcement.

There is writings on upper left corner of [http://www.diablowiki.net/Image:Desoto-concept1.jpg the concept art picture of DeSoto] indicating that he is been around at least from December 2006. Pablo DeSoto is also the only person named in the lore section of the official page. This indicates that Pablo DeSoto is an important character, most probably a NPC. This would make sense if the speculation is proven right about Leah being the daugher of DeSoto.

Other possible NPCs include Adria, the witch from Diablo 1, which is mentioned in [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/lore/journal.xml Deckard Cain's journal] and other NPCs which might be returning to the game. Everything is possible but without appearance on the gameplay trailer, cinematic trailer, artwork or the official page's lore section everything is open to speculation.
