+Bashiok is a [[superunique]] [[Fallen Shaman]] (conjurer) that spawns (rarely) in the [[Dahlgur Oasis]]in Act Two. He may very rarely occur as a Bounty, but is usually seen just as a random spawn. Hitting Bashiok with [[Rakanishu's Blade]] grants the [[Bashanishu]] achievement.

+Bashiok was initially the sole Diablo 3 community manager, and was the main public face of the game from 2008 until 2011. He worked as a liaison with the community, posted extensively in the Battle.net forums, and managed the Diablo 3 Facebook and Twitter feeds.
-==Bashiok (the community manager)==
+<blue>I could pretty easily write a few thousand words right now, but I did my best to keep this brief.
-==Bashiok at Blizzard==
+Anyway, Blizzard—and the community that surrounds it—has defined almost my entire adult life, and I am just so absolutely grateful to all of my friends here for having such an incredible and positive impact on who I am, and who I am yet to become. I don’t think I’ve had to make any decisions as difficult as the one to leave Blizzard, but a new opportunity has come my way, and I’ve decided to take it.
-During late 2008 and all of 2009 Bashiok was often the most visible member of the Diablo 3 team, as the only D3 community manager and a regular presence in the Battle.net forums.  He is also the chief operator of Blizzard's official Diablo [http://www.twitter.com/diablo Twitter] and [http://www.facebook.com/twitter Facebook] pages.
+While I think it’s all still sinking in, the other day I realized I actually get to be surprised by Blizzard announcements and releases again. Which, as a lifelong fan and rabid gamer it makes me giddy thinking about being able to sit in the audience at BlizzCon, watching a stream, or reading the newest blog posts, and seeing whatever’s in store next—for the first time.
-During the final stages of the [[StarCraft II]] beta, around June 2010, Bashiok also took on an active role in the StarCraft II forums, answering questions and making funny comments. He kind of replaced [[Karune]], who had at the time not been seen in a visible position for a long time.
+I’m looking forward to what’s next, and wishing you a life of joy, insatiable curiosity, and happy gaming.

+Note the cheeky reference to his personal "aren't you thankful" scandal.[http://www.diabloii.net/blog/comments/bashiok-still-alive-still-thankful/]  A jokester to the end...
