[[Vischar Orous]], Chief Librarian and Zharesh Covenant of the [[Brotherhood of the Vizjerei]] classified goatmen as ''Aries Vehemens''[http://www.diablowiki.net/Diablo_I_Manual#Goat_Men_.28Aries_Vehemens.29] goatmen as ''Aries Vehemens'', lieutenants of [[Baal]], bred for strength, endurance, and cunning. Apparently spending a lot of time in Hell, excercising in mock wars to please their masters. The different clans of goatmen was according to Vischar blessed with gifts from [[Baal]]. If this was the beliefs of Vischar, or if the Vizjerei just needed to cover up the horrible truth is unknown. [It's also possible that this is just a [[retcon]] from Blizzard].
:''Though they were primitive by the standards of the Vizjerei, the umbaru clans held the powerful mages at bay through familiarity with the terrain and sheer ferocity. But this state of affairs could not hold forever. As decades of savage warfare took their toll on the umbaru's culture and minds, the clans began to search for any means to prevail over their enemies. In fact, they lost sight of anything else.''
