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

 ==Player Characters==Three of the five character types that will be classes playable in [[Diablo III when the game ships ]] have so far been announced.:

'''Please note that in many most cases, the term "character" is equal slang for "player character" or "character class". It refers to [[Player Character]], meaning the ''[[class]]'' you play in the gamesa 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.'''

There are hundreds of characters in the Diablo universe, but the most important ones are of course [[Diablo]], [[Mephisto]], [[Baal]] and [[Tyrael]], who have played the largest roles in the games up until the third one, where we will see if things might be put on end.The heroes of the games have in the lore been anonymous, so even if we associate strongly with them, they remain unnamed.  ==Non-Player Characters==[[NPC]]s are characters played by the computer in the [[Diablo game]]s. They usually have proper names, and some sort of background. Most of the important characters in the universe has or will be represented as an NPC in a Diablo game.
