'''Wirt''' is a [[Diablo I]] [[NPC]], and is found to the far left of town, over a bridge and past the entrance to the Caves. It's a long, winding walk in [[Diablo I]], made much more bearable by the fast walk in [[Hellfire]]presumed dead.

 __TOC__==Background==Wirt was found to the far left of [[Tristram]], over a bridge and past the entrance to the Caves. It's a long, winding walk in [[Diablo I]], made much more bearable by the fast walk in [[Hellfire]]. Wirt sells items, but only one at a time, and he'll only show it to you after his infamous 50 gold fee.  Wirt's graft engendered extreme hostility in most Diablo I players, and his fate as a gold-popping corpse in [[Diablo II]] was a form of fan service.He was killed in [[Diablo II]] by the [[demon]]s who pillaged [[Tristram]]. His corpse can still be found in the east part of town (now on the east side of the river). [[Wirt's Leg]] can be found if his corpse is searched, together with the afore-mentioned gold-popping.  ==Wirt in Diablo 3?==During an interview with IGN, [[Jay Wilson]] commented on the possibility of a returning Wirt for Diablo III.[http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p2.html] ::''IGN: Does that mean things like Wirt popping back up? Obviously Cain is going to be in there...'' ::''Jay Wilson: He's on like his eighth leg by now, right? [laughs] I don't know what we're gonna do with that little bugger. I mean, he's dead, so there's not much we can do with him...'' ::''IGN: You never know, he could come back as [[undead]]...'' ::''Jay Wilson: That's true, undead Wirt, that's not a bad idea.''
