'''Characters''' in the Diablo universe is what makes it interesting. From the [[Diablo game]]s' different [[class]]es to [[NPC]]s and regular inhabitants of Sanctuary introduced from books and comics. They are all what makes the universe of the games.

* Fiction characters (of varying importance)

* Non-Player characters ([[NPC]]s)

==Player Characters==

* [[Barbarian]]

* [[Witch Doctor]]

* [[Wizard]]

* [[Monk]]

Please note that in most cases, the term "character" is slang for "player character" or "character class". It refers to the ''[[class]]'' you play in a given game. If a player says: "My Barbarian character", they really mean: "My character of the Barbarian class", it's just easier to say the first one.
