Jay Wilson.

Jay Wilson is the Lead Designer of Diablo 3. He has worked for a company called Relic Entertainment before, and was the lead designer on Dawn of War, an RTS game not completely unlike StarCraft.

Jay on why he likes to make games: [1]

"I can't think of anything that makes me happier than watching people play a game I made and have fun. People bring a lot of things to the world and some are good and some are bad, but I can't think of anything you could bring to the world that's better than fun. And that's why I like to make games."

According to the Diii.net interview with Jay, his favorite color is green, his favorite meal is his mothers lasagna and his favorite animal is his cat.

Diablo II Experience

From a December 2008 interview with 1up.com:

1UP: What are your "main" classes in Diablo 2?

Jay Wilson: My most developed was a Barbarian. Well, no -- actually, it's my Necromancer. While the Barbarian was what I played when the game came out, my Necromancer is all I really play now. He's in the 90s and has pretty much gotten everything he can get, so all I do is run around and kill things to see if something superawesome drops. But my Barbarian was my first class, and my Necromancer is my main. While I did play each class to take it to Hell difficulty, those two were my loves. I had a pretty cool Sorceress, but I don't think I got her as high.
