[[Yaerius]] is an [[archangel]] but not a part of the [[Angiris Council]]. It is believed that [[Yaerius]] created the belief of the [[Zakarum]] church by appearing for the prophet [[Akarat]].
==Background==
::''In ages past, the [[Archangel]] Yaerius visited a young ascetic named [[Akarat]] and revealed to him the tenets of what was to become the religion of [[Zakarum]]. These teachings stressed the necessity of resisting all things [[evil]], and embracing, with total devotion, the [[Light]]. The [[angel]] appointed Akarat to be the prophet of these new teachings, and bade him take the word to the people of all lands.''[http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act3-zakarumzealot.shtml]
::''"The Archangel Yaerius had coaxed a young ascetic named Akarat into founding a religion devoted to the Light."'' - [[Diablo: The Black Road]] The [[Demon]] Lord [[Kabraxis]] prevented Yaerius from bringing forth Zakarum during the [[Sin War]], and tried to create an antithesis to Zakarum, using his own prophet: [[Kreghn]]. ==Disputable Facts==It is not certain whether Yaerius was really an [[Archangel]] or just one the [[demon]]s in disguise, like [[Diablo]] as the Archangel [[Mirakodus]] which led [[Ureh]] to ruin. Not much is known about Yaerius as the only mention of him is in [[Diablo: The Black Road]]. The texts above are interesting as it sounds like Yaerius was pushing Akarat to create the religion. ==References==* [[Diablo: The Black Road]]* [http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act3-zakarumzealot.shtml Zakarum Zealot] {{Character navbox|impAngels}}
