==List of possible NPCs==
As of nowThe following are likely to be NPCs, we don't but have a lot information concerning not yet been seen in the Non-Player Characters. Because of that here is a section dedicated to possible NPCs as wellgame.
===Leah===
[[image:Leah-concept1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|An official still image from the cinematic trailer.]]
[[Leah]] is was mentioned by name in the WWI gameplay trailer, but was not seen in the Blizzcon demo. The barbarian From what the Barbarian says to Deckard Cain that in the WWI gameplay movie, Leah worries for him. (Leah was confirmed as her name when Blizzard called her that in is an NPC who is [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1149&cat=550 an official wallpaperCain]].) It seems 's assistant, who tells the hero that Leah gave the player the quest to rescue Deckard he (Cain ) is missing in the catacombs below the old Tristram Monastery, and must be rescued.
There Some players have speculated that Leah is an interesting passage the young female referred to in the [http[Writings of Abd al-Hazir://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/bestiary/gnarledwalkerEntry no.xml 0020|Gnarled Walkers lore entry] in from the official pageD3 website. In it, concerning when speaking about the village of Wortham, Abd al-Hazir says:
::"I likewise found it odd that there seemed to be only elderly people in the village, with the exception of one beautiful young woman whose father was quite insistent I keep my distance from her. Though he was rude on this point, I found him to be a rather sociable sort once convinced I was not interested in his daughter. He introduced himself as Pablo DeSoto"
There is speculation going about that Could Leah, the girl from be Pablo DeSoto's daughter? The location seems wrong; she's in Tristram with Cain in the teaser cinematic trailer, is actually and apparently in the daughter of Pablo DeSoto mentioned quest as demonstrated in the lore. Other speculations include Leah being WWI gameplay movie, but the new narratorjournal entry might be outdated, Cain's daughter or apprentice. be information from before the game begins; perhaps demons entirely overran the village of Wortham, and Leah and Pablo de Soto were forced to flee to Tristram?
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 was important enough to be put in the trailer which they had to begin working on months before the game announcement.
===Pablo DeSoto===
[[image:desoto-concept1.jpg|right|thumb|300px250px|Concept art of Pablo DeSoto.]][[Pablo DeSoto]] is seen in detailed concept art, and mentioned in the [[Gnarled Walker]]s lore entry, as quoted above. He is said to be knowledgeable of magic and mentioned to have some sort of grudge against necromancers. This might be a flashback or homage to {{iw|Gheed#Special_Necromancer_Introduction Gheed}}, the Necromancer-hating NPC merchant from Act One of Diablo II.
[[Pablo DeSoto]] is seen in the concept art and mentioned in the [[Gnarled Walker]]s 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 are writings in upper left corner of [http://www.diablowiki.net/Image:Desoto-concept1.jpg the concept art picture of DeSoto] indicating that he has been around, at least from December 2006. Pablo DeSoto was also the first person to be 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 Leah being the daugher of DeSoto.===Adria===
===Adria===[[Image:adria.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Concept art see at BlizzCon.]]
[[imageAdria]], the witch from [[Diablo 1]], is mentioned in [http:adria//www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/lore/journal.xml Deckard Cain's journal], and was seen in concept art in the Blizzard Museum at Blizzcon 2008.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Concept Not everything in concept art makes it into the final game, but with a lot of returning elements from the story of D1 in D3, and much of the early action taking place in and around Tristram, a return of Adria seen in BlizzCon 2008seems like a safe bet.]]
[[Adria]], the witch from [[Diablo 1]], is mentioned in [http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/lore/journal.xml Deckard Cain's journal]. On the top of that a concept art of [[Adria]] was seen at the [[BlizzCon 2008]], though it hasn't been officially revealed yet. Blizzard has done some background concept art, mainly the art of [[Skovos Isles]], they aren't going to visualise in game, but it is a strong possibility that we will see Adria in Diablo III - possibly as a NPC or maybe even as a traitor-like character, like Nithalak was in Diablo II.
