'''Bartuc''', ''Bartuc the Warlord'' and '''The Warlord of Blood'' are all names of [[BartucHorazon]] 's brother who was lured into darkness, and fought on the [[demon]] side in the [[HorazonSin War]]'s brother. ==Background==Both Bartuc and [[Horazon]] were members of the powerful Eastern [[mage clan ]] known as the [[Vizjerei]]. This mystic clan studied the ways of demons [[demon]]s and had catalogued their lore for generations. While Horazon focused on the mastering of the arcane [[magic ]] and mind control, Bartuc leaned toward demonic magic.
[[Bartuc]] was lured to the side of Darkness and granted exceptional strength and longevity. Bartuc served and fought alongside the legions of Hell against his brethren, the Vizjerei, during the [[Sin War]]. His prowess as a warrior among the demon ranks eventually taxed him with madness and the insatiable lust for mortal blood. Bartuc soon became fond of bathing in the blood of his enemies who immediately identified him for his reddish-stained armor. For this, he came to be known as the [[Warlord of Blood]].
After many years of bloodshed, Bartuc was finally killed, during an epic-scale battle, by a group of people including his own brother [[Horazon]]. After this event, Bartuc's notorious armor was hidden away in a secret dungeon, protected by [[Horazon]]'s dark magic, where it lay quiet, waiting for it's next bearer, who will eventually turn turned out to be a wandering tomb raider named [[Norrec Vizharan]]. The events following are presented in the first [[novel ]] based on the Diablo Universe, [[Legacy of Blood]].
