He was the first NPC with a speaking role in the Blizzcon 2008 demo, where he greeted new characters and gave a bit of information about the grim situation in New Tristram. He had different dialogues for each of the three characters ([[Barbarian]], [[Witch Doctor]], and [[Wizard]]) playable in that demo, and imparted information about the mysterious [[meteor]] that had struck the Cathedral and awakened evil within, and either warned or encouraged the player to investigate.

+::[[Witch Doctor]]: The spirits speak to all of us.  Listen, and find guidances.
-::'''Witch Doctor''' - It is a small being that dismisses things simply because they are different. No matter. I am here to storm the dark scourge brought by the fire from the sky.
+That's a simple thing for you to say.  You were born to fight monsters like the risen dead.  Me, I'm a farmer.

+When Leah told us the dead were pouring out of the cathedral, we quickly went to put an end to it.   At first it seemed we were succeeding, but th-but they just kept coming.  We -- well, we were overcome.  Captain Daltyn and the men fought valiantly.  They protected me.  I am no soldier.  I am -- I was a farmer. I should not have been out there with them.
-Her dialogue with Rumford was somewhat flirty, as she taunted him for being afraid to face the monsters himself, boasted that she would clear out the demonic infestation in nothing flat, and all but ordered Rumford to buy her a drink to toast her success when she returned. Rumford seemed somewhat overwhelmed by her arrogance and authority, and became rather meek and soft spoken before the Wizard's powerful presence.
+I do not know how I made it back here.  None of the others did.  And now, somehow I'm supposed to lead the militia.

-The '''Captain Rumford''' [[NPC]] was found in the small town area where new characters began the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo. He was a guard and nominal leader of the few surviving humans in the area, and had special dialogues for each of the 3 characters. During the dialogues he imparted information about a [[meteor]] that had struck the Cathedral and awakened evil within, and either warned or encouraged the player to investigate.

 The story telling mechanism of such NPC dialogues and plot devices is a simple one; the characters, NPCs and your own hero, know more about the story than you, the player, do. So players learn about the world and their own character's personality by watching and listening to the interactions between their character and the NPCs.
