'''Lachdanan''' was the Captain of the Knights of the Order of Light and an honored Champion of Zakarum. Lachdanan was a pious knight and servant of [[King Leoric]]'s]], who survived a disastrous attack against [[Westmarch]] only to return to find his king had finally turned all the way into a raving madman. The king, his mind destroyed after struggling against [[Diablo]]'s power, ordered his remaining warriors to attack Lachdanan and his company, but Lachdanan prevailed, finally slaying the king himself. As he died, [[LeoriLeoric]]c cursed Lachdanan into eternal damnation for his "treachery".
He is encountered in the lowest levels of [[Hell]] as a benevolent [[Steel Lord]]. He imparts his tragic tale to the player, and implores him to find a [[Golden Elixir]] capable of purifying his cursed soul and putting him to rest. If this is accomplished, Lachdanan swears that if there is a way to repay him/her from beyond the grave, he will find it. In the interim, he presents you with his unique helm, the [[Veil of Steel]], before presumably committing suicide in his new demonic form.
==Diablo 3==
Lachdanan's ghost returns to guide adventurers in Diablo 3. He is found in the Cathedral of Tristram.
