==Diablo 3==

===Act 1===

Tyrael is a key character throughout Diablo 3. The game begins with [[Deckard Cain]] and [[Leah]] discussing the end of days until suddenly something falls from the heavens crashing through the building. After the Hero rescues Cain, he address the "Fallen Star" which has crashed through [[Tristram Cathedral]] into the depths of the Horadric tunnels beneath. The "Fallen Star" turns out to be a man - referred to as "The Stranger" who has no memories of how he came to be there. The majority of act 1 is about reuniting "The Stranger" with his sword which Cain suggests will recover his memories. At the end of act one "The Stranger" is reunited with his sword [[El'druin]] and revealed to be Tyrael.

===Tyreal's Sacrifice ===

It is then revealed that Tyrael, knowing of the on-coming attack on man from [[Belial]] and [[Azmodan]] addressed [[Imperius]] hoping that he would help man in the oncoming attack. Imperius having learnt about Tyrael's previous interference in [[Sanctuary]] ends up fighting Tyrael. The fight comes to an end when Tyrael states that if Heaven refuses to intervene he will leave their ranks and do so himself. Thus Tyrael becomes mortal and falls from the heavens into Tristram Cathedral.

=== Act 2 & 3 ===

After the hero helps Tyrael gain his memory and power, Tyrael mourns for the death of Deckard Cain with Leah. He then advises the group to head to [[Caldeum]] where Belial is known to be. After Tryael helps the group trap Belial in the [[Black Soulstone]] Leah has a vision of Azmodan's armies coming out of the [[Arreat Crater]]. Tyrael then proceeds to help the group in defeating Azmodan and trapping his soul within the soulstone.

After Belial and Azmodan are trapped within the [[Black Soulstone]], [[Adria]] betrays the group and unleashes the power of the Black Soulstone onto Leah destroying Leah's soul and releasing [[Diablo]]. Diablo then proceeds to the high heavens.

=== Tyrael's Despair ===

During Diablo's assault on the high heavens in act 4 Tyrael turns to despair, leaving the Hero to strike Diablo down.

=== End of Act 4 ===

At the end of Diablo 3 Tyrael rejoins the Angiris Council but as a mortal - as the aspect of Wisdom. He vows that the Heavens and Sanctuary will stand together from then on.

==Personality and Appearance==
The personality of Tyrael is known to only a very few. We know he is a man of great justice, compassion and hatred of [[demon]]s, and he has a special interest in [[Sanctuary]] as well as humanity.

Since he was close to destroying Sanctuary himself, originally, it's clear he's not afraid to take action against what he considers a threat to the [[High Heavens]].

Tyrael, being an Angel in the Diablo universe, is a being composed of "vibrations of light"[http://diablo.incgamers.com/misc/bashiok-on-unlocking-tyraels-face/] and as such, he doesn't have an actual face, hence the shadows and blackness inside of his hood. However, if the situation warrants it, Tyrael is able to compose himself into a visibly "human" form if he needs to, as all other angels are capable of as well.

==Background==

===Sanctuary===
When the [[Angiris Council]] first discovered [[Sanctuary]], Tyrael was designated to lead Heaven's forces in destroying the "abomination". This was [[Imperius]]' view, one Tyrael sympathised with, since the whole existence of sanctuary comes from a defiled union of [[angel]]s and [[demon]]s.

When Tyrael witnessed [[Uldyssian]] sacrificing himself for the world of sanctuary he had a change of heart, and took the deciding vote within the council to save Sanctuary from destruction.

The council wiped the memories of all humans, and none now know that Tyrael could have been the one responsible for the undoing of all of humanity.

===The Horadrim===
[[File:Horadrim_Sigil.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Sigil of the [[Horadrim]].]]
After the existence of [[Sanctuary]] was secured, Tyrael has been ordered by his fellow angels on many occasions not to interfere with the mortal world. He has often disobeyed, fearing that Sanctuary would otherwise fall in the hands of the [[Burning Hells]].

When the [[Prime Evils]] later were banished from hell during the [[Dark Exile]], Tyrael helped humanity to create the [[Horadrim]] and creating the Soulstones they used to imprison [[Diablo]], [[Mephisto]] and [[Baal]] with, centuries before the events covered in Diablo I and Diablo II.

He also helped the Horadrim to seal the essence of Baal in the body of [[Tal Rasha]].

===The Worldstone===
[[File:Tyrael.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Tyrael destroying the [[Worldstone]].]]
Tyrael was captured by Baal after he failed to stop Diablo from releasing Baal but was eventually freed by the adventurers of [[Diablo II]]. He returned to the adventurers in the [[Pandemonium Fortress]], the last bastion before [[Hell]], to offer some assistance.

When [[Diablo]] was defeated and the adventurers had caught up with [[Baal]] to slay him, Tyrael made it clear that Baal had permanently corrupted the [[Worldstone]]. He decided that the only thing he could do to protect [[Sanctuary]] was to destroy the sacred relic.

The destruction left the massive [[Mount Arreat]] as nothing more than a crater, and dealt a devastating blow to the [[Barbarian]] tribes, who saw it as their life duty to protect the Worldstone.

The Barbarian tribe leader [[Anya]] considers the destruction and tells us in her valediction that this action was never foreseen in the prophecies.

===Speculation: Tyrael's Agenda===
[[File:Angel concept1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|This [[Archangel]], who likely is Tyrael, is doing something powerful.]]
Tyrael has appeared throughout Sanctuary at many times to assist the humans in the fight against the demonic forces. Amongst players there is much speculation as to Tyrael's real agenda, but in the game all of the [[NPCs]] seem to hold him in the highest esteem.

However, the speculation includes notions that Tyrael does not care about humanity, and the destruction of the [[Worldstone]] is for some devious purpose. Seen from a certain light, it seems strange he first supplied [[Soulstone]]s to the [[Horadrim]], only to ask the heroes to destroy them a few hundred years later. What implications will the destruction of the Worldstone have on [[Sanctuary]] and how do we know it really was corrupted beyond salvation? [[Baal]] had not spent ''that'' much time in the chamber, and was the Worldstone really so easy to corrupt?

===Friends===
As with his personality, it's hard to know if Tyrael ever had any human friends, but if he did, [[Tal Rasha]] would likely be part of those, as would [[Deckard Cain]] and the heroes who helped defeat the Prime Evils.

===Foes===
More than anything, Tyrael opposes the [[Burning Hells]] and [[demon]]kind. If this is his only motivation for helping humans on [[Sanctuary]], or if he perhaps is using the human world as a battlefield against Hell is unknown.



==Previous Appearances==
[[File:Tyrael.gif|right|thumb|180px|Tyrael in [[Diablo II]].]]
Tyrael is seen in three places in [[Diablo II]]. The first is at the end of Act Two, when he greets the player from the island where Baal/Tal Rasha had been imprisoned. The second meeting comes in the [[Pandemonium Fortress]], the town of Act Four, where Tyrael interacts with characters like any other [[NPC]], though of course he's a bit less chatty.

He is not a merchant, but he can resurrect dead [[follower|mercs]], for the usual price. What Tyrael does with the [[gold]] is an eternal question and running joke for many players. The third sighting of Tyrael comes at the end of Act Five, when he descends from above after [[Baal]]'s defeat in the [[Worldstone Chamber]].

After a speech in which he asserts that Baal has poisoned the [[Worldstone]] and that it will no longer function to keep most of the forces of [[High Heavens|Heaven]] and [[Burning Hells|Hell]] from flooding into the mortal world, Tyrael creates a portal for the human heroes to leave.

After their departure, Tyrael hurls his sword into the Worldstone, causing it to shatter into countless millions of pieces, and its this explosion and apparent doom for humanity that fills the final cinematic of Diablo II.

==Trivia==

Tyrael makes a cameo in [[World of WarCraft]] as an in-game pet. This was part of the goody-bag from [[WWI 2008]] in Paris, where Diablo was unveiled.

Tyrael, in Diablo III, is voiced by Jonathan Adams. Adams is an actor, but has also done voicework in television and games, including the show '''The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes''', and he was the voice of Galactus in '''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'''.

As with his personality, it's hard to know if Tyrael ever had any human friends, but if he did, [[Tal Rasha]] would likely be part of those, as would [[Deckard Cain]] and the heroes who helped defeat the Prime Evils.

===Foes===
More than anything, Tyrael opposes the [[Burning Hells]] and [[demon]]kind. If this is his only motivation for helping humans on [[Sanctuary]], or if he perhaps is using the human world as a battlefield against Hell is unknown.



==Previous Appearances==
[[File:Tyrael.gif|right|thumb|180px|Tyrael in [[Diablo II]].]]
Tyrael is seen in three places in [[Diablo II]]. The first is at the end of Act Two, when he greets the player from the island where Baal/Tal Rasha had been imprisoned. The second meeting comes in the [[Pandemonium Fortress]], the town of Act Four, where Tyrael interacts with characters like any other [[NPC]], though of course he's a bit less chatty.

He is not a merchant, but he can resurrect dead [[follower|mercs]], for the usual price. What Tyrael does with the [[gold]] is an eternal question and running joke for many players. The third sighting of Tyrael comes at the end of Act Five, when he descends from above after [[Baal]]'s defeat in the [[Worldstone Chamber]].

After a speech in which he asserts that Baal has poisoned the [[Worldstone]] and that it will no longer function to keep most of the forces of [[High Heavens|Heaven]] and [[Burning Hells|Hell]] from flooding into the mortal world, Tyrael creates a portal for the human heroes to leave.

After their departure, Tyrael hurls his sword into the Worldstone, causing it to shatter into countless millions of pieces, and its this explosion and apparent doom for humanity that fills the final cinematic of Diablo II.

===Tyrael Dialogues===
These dialogues are the transcribed content of everything Tyrael has said in any [[Diablo game]]. So far of course only [[Diablo II]]...

==Trivia==
[[File:Tyrael_pet.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Tyrael pet.]]
Tyrael makes a cameo in [[World of WarCraft]] as an in-game pet. This was part of the goody-bag from [[WWI 2008]] in Paris, where Diablo was unveiled.

Tyrael, in Diablo III, is voiced by Jonathan Adams. Adams is an actor, but has also done voicework in television and games, including the show '''The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes''', and he was the voice of Galactus in '''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'''.

Scroll:

[[Image:adria.jpg|left|thumb|Adria the Witch returns from Diablo 1]]

==Background==

''Adria''' is the Witch merchant from [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Adria Diablo 1]. She sold and bought potions, scrolls and staves. She also recharged staves with their magical charges. She was not in Diablo 2, having fled [[New Tristram| Tristram]] in anticipation of the attack on the village.

Adria is the mother of [[Leah]], who was adopted by [[Deckard Cain]] after Adria's supposed death.

As for what Adria had been doing since the events of Diablo I and her apparent death, beyond her fleeing of Tristram to the desert jewel of [[Caldeum]], are currently unknown.

== Diablo 3 ==

In Diablo 3 the Hero finds out that Leah is Adria's estranged daughter, whose father is later found out to be [[Aidan]]. The Hero along with Leah rescue Adria in act 2 - after which she helps the Hero throughout specific portions of the act as well as teaching Leah to control her "power". Adria helps both Leah and the hero trap [[Belial]]'s and [[Azmodan]]'s soul in the [[Black Soulstone]]. When the hero returns from slaying Azmodan in act 3 Adria unleashes the power of the blackstone upon Leah revealing that as Aidan was possesed by [[Diablo]] when Leah was conceived- Leah is not only Aidan's daughter but also Diablo's. This is revealed to all be part of Diablo's plan.
Leah was to simply act as a form for Diablo's soul to inhabit. Adria then disappears through a portal on Diablo's instruction not to be seen again in the standalone version of Diablo 3.
