'''Temporary RemovedThe Archbishop Lazarus'''was an ambassador from the [[Zakarum]] Church and an advisor to [[King Leoric]].
This article will return shortly!==Background==Lazarus was actually the Custodian of [[Mephisto's Soulstone]] in [[Kurast]] before arriving in [[Khanduras]]. When [[King Leoric]] set up court in the abandoned monastery in [[Tristram]], [[Diablo]] reached out and lured the Archbishop down in to the catacombs of the monastery to shatter the soulstone that imprisoned him.
--Diablo tried to fully possess [[User:LeordLeoric|LeordKing Leoric]] 19:14but failed, 6 November 2008 so he ordered Lazarus to bring down the King's son, [[Albrecht]], into the labyrinth as a mortal host for the Lord of Terror. After the death of King Leoric, Lazarus emerged from the monastery and whipped the villagers into a frenzy to find Albrecht in a ruse to lead them right into the lair of the [[Butcher]]. When the villagers had seen the horrors of this attempt to save Albrecht, Lazarus hid deep in the monastery labyrinth, where he remained. He was later defeated by an unnamed hero, who later became the new mortal host for the Lord of Terror. ==Lazarus in Diablo Games==His staff, the Spire of Lazarus and the dagger Wizardspike (CETsometimes dropped upon his defeat), are both unique items in [[Diablo II]], although Lazarus's staff was not able to be wielded in the first game, serving only as a key to the cathedral's tower where Lazarus resided.
