Tyrael
,no edit summary
==Background==
Tyrael was the one who provided the [[Horadrim]] with the [[soulstone]]s they used to imprison [[Diablo]], [[Mephisto]], and [[Baal]] with centuries before the time covered in [[Diablo I]] and [[Diablo II]], and he has appeared to humans in many other times and locations, always (appearing?) to assist the humans in the fight against the demonic forces. Amongst players there is must speculation as to Tyrael's real agenda, but in the game all of the [[NPCs]] seem to hold him in the highest esteem.
Tyrael was captured by [[Baal]] after he failed to stop [[Diablo]] from releasing Baal but was eventually freed by the adventurers of [[Diablo II]]. He returned to the adventurers in the {{wl|Pandemonium Fortress}}, the last bastion before [[Hell]], to offer some assistance.
At the end of [[Diablo 2]], when it was clear that [[Baal]] had permanently corrupted the [[Worldstone]], Tyrael decided that the only thing he could do to protect [[Sanctuary]] was to destroy the sacred relic. The destruction left [[Mount Arreat]] as nothing more than a crater, and dealt a devastating blow to the [[Barbarian]] tribes, who saw it as their life duty to protect the Worldstone. {{iw|Anya Anya}} however considers this strange and tells us in her valediction that this action was never foreseen in the prophecies.
