NPCs, Non-Player Characters, are the principle sources of information about the game's [[lore]]. They are also the usual sources for [[quests ]] and quest rewards, and the NPC merchants are invaluable for equipping your hero for battle.

Here is the list of confirmed NPCs that are going to be in Diablo 3.
==[[Deckard Cain]]==

[[Deckard Cain ]] is an essential character in the Diablo universe. As a wise sage and the last of the Horadrim, Cain has played an important part in both Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 games.
Deckard Cain is seen on the gameplay video[http://www.diablo3.com] from the [[WWI 2008]]. In the gameplay video the player rescues Cain once again, apparently in the New Tristram Cathedral.
Be as it may, it is clear that there is some significance to the appearance on the cinematic trailer, as these take a substantial amount of time to prepare. Any random NPCs may be dropped out of the game as the development progresses but Leah, or the girl in the cinematic trailer, was important enough to be put in the trailer which they had to begin working on months before the game announcement.
==[[Pablo DeSoto]]==

[[Pablo DeSoto ]] is seen in the concept art and mentioned in the Gnarled Walkers lore entry, as quoted above. He is said to be knowledgeable of magic and mentioned to have some sort of grudge against necromancers, as it is revealed in the [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/bestiary/gnarledwalker.xml Gnarled Walkers lore entry].
There is writings on upper left corner of [http://www.diablowiki.net/Image:Desoto-concept1.jpg the concept art picture of DeSoto] indicating that he is been around at least from December 2006. Pablo DeSoto is also the only person named in the lore section of the official page. This indicates that Pablo DeSoto is an important character, most probably a NPC. This would make sense if the speculation is proven right about the girl from the cinematic trailer, supposedly Leah, being the daugher of DeSoto.
