Dark Wanderer

The Dark Wanderer is the Warrior from Diablo I who has been possessed by Diablo, the very demon he sought to contain within himself. After finally engaging Diablo in a duel in the depths of the hell beneath Tristram, the Warrior defeated and killed the Prime Evil. However, by this time he had been thoroughly corrupted by the demon's influence, and was led to believe the only way he could contain the Lord of Terror was by placing Diablo's foul soul within his own body, inserting the Soulstone in his forehead.

The Dark Wanderer is established in background materials for Diablo II as the warrior from Diablo I. In the[Book of Cain, he is given the name "Aidan" and is revealed to be the eldest son of King Leoric. Upon saving Deckard Cain in the Diablo III beta, Deckard is found in New Tristram with the dialogue option "The Skeleton King". During this dialogue Deckard Cain reveals information about the warrior.


 * Deckard Cain: Many adventurers tried and failed to slay the Skeleton King. It was left to Leoric's eldest son Aidan to finally kill the monster his father had become.
