The Horadrim was a brotherhood of Mages formed by the Archangel Tyrael to combat the Three Prime Evils: Diablo, Mephisto and Baal on the mortal realm.
The Horadrim was formed from the three major mage clans in the East by Tyrael to defeat the Three who were wrecking havoc in the mortal realm. The Horadrim received three Soulstones from Tyrael, which would be able to contain the demons once they had been defeated.
The brotherhood defeated and captured Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, in Kehjistan and imprisoned him beneath the Temple of Light in Kurast. The then peaceful Zakarum monks would then protect the Soulstone.
Diablo and Baal escaped Kehjistan, and went West over the sea to Aranoch. Baal took refuge inside the city of Lut Gholein for three days and then travelled North into the Aranoch desert a short distance, but was found by the Horadrim, who attacked him. Baal's greatest achievement here was that he managed to shatter the Soulstone meant to imprison him.
The Horadrim managed to subdue the Lord of Destruction, but the shattered stone could not contain the demon. The group realized they needed a mortal vessel to bind the demon within. The leader, and the greatest of the Horadrim, Tal Rasha, volunteered to wrestle with the demon for all eternity.
Jered Cain and the remaining Horadrim followed Diablo's wake of terror to the Western kingdom of Khanduras, where he was finally imprisoned within the remaining Soulstone after an epic battle. The Horadrim used the catacombs in their Tristram monastery to forever store the demon.
The threat was gone and as time passed the Horadrim's numbers dwindled, and the brotherhood forever gone. The only known descendant of the Brotherhood is a great grandson of Jered Cain, named Deckard Cain, a mere scholar with no experience in magic or battle.
