Cain is ''the'' essential [[NPC]] 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. This old, classic Diablo character will definitely ask you to stay a while and listen.  Cain appears as an [[NPC]], but it's not known if he'll pick up where he left off in [[Diablo II]]; following your character from town to town and offering item identifications and quest/plot info. He did not appear in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo. He was seen previous to that, in the [[gameplay video]] from [[WWI 2008]]. In that video the [[Barbarian]] and [[Witch Doctor]] rescue Cain from a horde of monsters in the dungeons beneath the Tristram cathedral, and return him safely to town where [[Leah]] is worried about him.
