==In Diablo I (and the aftermath thereof)Background==[[File:{{Charbox|portrait= Wanderer_Diablo_I.jpg<!-- |portrait-width= 200px --><!-- |thumbname= -->|rightchartype= main<!--|200pxtitle= -->|gender= Male|race= Human|status= Dead|occupation= Adventurer|Dark Wanderer sets out from affiliation= [[Deckard Cain]], [[Tristram]]., [[Prime Evils]]|friends= [[Deckard Cain]], [[Marius]], [[Baal]], [[Mephisto]]|foes= [[Diablo]], [[Character|Heroes]], [[Deckard Cain]]<!--|location= --><!--|categories= -->}}As [[Diablo I ]] draws to a conclusion, the hero defeats [[Diablo]], and takes Diablo's [[Soulstone]] within his own body, intending to contain Diablo there forever- which had potentially unforeseen consequences. According to [[Deckard Cain's Journal]] it takes about 2 days for the spirit of Diablo to corrupt and posses him. At which point, he became fully possessed and left [[Tristram]]. Immediately after his departure, hordes of demons either killed or possessed the remaining denizens with the exception of Deckard Cain whom was only captured. It is implied that the Dark Wanderer is directly responsible for that carnage, although it may have just been a side-effect of his presence.
===In Diablo II===

After the destruction of Tristram the Dark Wanderer proceeds to the east where he frees [[Baal]] and [[Mephisto]] from their respective prisons before shedding the last of the hero's humanity and metamorphosed into Diablo- ceasing to be the Dark Wanderer. Diablo then proceeds by entering Hell where he will eventually be slain by the band of heroes.
===In Diablo III===
The Dark Wanderer is mentioned in Cain's Journal on the [[Official Diablo 3 Website]], but has yet to appear in any other fashion (concept art, screen shots, trailers etc. etc.)
