Characters in the Diablo universe is what makes it interesting. From the Diablo games' different classes to NPCs and regular inhabitants of Sanctuary introduced from books and comics. They are all what makes the universe of the games.

The heroes of the games have in the lore been anonymous, so even if we associate strongly with them, they remain unnamed.
Non-Player Characters
NPCs are characters played by the computer in the Diablo games. They usually have proper names, and some sort of background. Most of the important characters in the universe has or will be represented as an NPC in a Diablo game.
