Child-emperor Hakan II.

Emperor Hakan II is a young regent of Kehjistan, son of the much loved Hakan I. He plays a pivotal role in the events of Diablo III.


Background

Caldeum societal rule is not patrolineal and successors to the throne of Kehjistan are found through Zakarum rituals. The Zakarum worked with the Iron Wolves, a mercenary company led by the renowned Asheara, to find Hakan II and keep him safe from the powerful merchant houses and mages of the Vizjerei Sanctum.[1]

When the wise and noble Hakan I died after he fell ill, his young son Hakan II took the throne, and much has been changed for the worse in Kehjistan. Many think of Hakan II as incompetent, and much of the empire has fallen in ruins.

Speculation

Hakan II has been mentioned in passing several times by Abd al-Hazir and other sources, but no good conclusive information source is available. It's very possible he is yet another puppet by the dark forces, changing things to make it easier for the demonic hordes to march in and take over.
