Diablo – Who is the hero that “uses” the soulstone at the end of Diablo

diablo

Spoiler alert! Don't read if you haven't completed the original Diablo from 1996.


At the end of the original Diablo, the hero shoves Diablo's soulstone
into his or her forehead. That ending is identical for any hero
choice. Is there a canonical "which hero it was" fact in Diablo II? e.g. do we
know that it was a warrior that used the soulstone, and subsequently
became the host for Diablo's new form?

Best Answer

From what I remember, and this forum thread agrees with me is that

  • The Rogue became Blood Raven, a minor super unique quest mob from Act 1 of Diablo 2
  • The Sorcerer became The Summoner, Horizon's impersonator, a super unique quest mob from Act 2 of Diablo 2

This leaves the most likely outcome, the bulky Warrior became the canon Diablo in Diablo 2.
