'''Deckard Cain''' returns in Diablo III, and reprises his role as an advisor and lore-master for the player. How could he not? Cain is an ''the'' essential [[NPC]] in the Diablo universe. As a wise sage and the last of the [[Horadrim]], Cain has played an important part in both [[Diablo 1]] and [[Diablo 2]] games. This old, classic Diablo character will definitely ask you to stay a while and listen.
==Cain in Diablo III==
Cain appears as an [[NPC]], but it's not known if he'll pick up where he left off in Diablo II; following your character from town to town and offering item identifications and quest/plot info. He did not appear in the Blizzcon 2008 demo.
There is mention of Deckard Cain on the [http://www.diablo3.com main page] of the official page:
::"When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram Cathedral seeking clues to defeat new stirrings of evil, a fiery harbinger of doom falls from the heavens, striking the very ground where Diablo once entered the world."
==Cain's Personality==
[[Jay Wilson]] spoke about Cain's personality in an interview from Blizzcon 2008 [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/]. According to Jay, Deckard is darker and more somber this time. It's been twenty years since the events in Diablo II, and Cain's spent that time questing for more ancient knowledge, and trying to warn his fellow citizens that the danger is not past. No one listens, people don't want to believe or think about such things, and Cain's grown increasingly desperate. He's now a tragic, reclusive figure.
