Prince Albrecht was the young son of King Leoric. He was captured by the traitorous Lazarus and taken down into the depths of the catacombs where Diablo's broken soulstone lay. The bodiless demon took control of the boy's mind and fed on his terror, and then reformed him to match his own form. The player character in Diablo I is sent on a quest to find the prince, but only finds another child, sacrificed by Lazarus. At the end after Diablo has been "killed", the hero removes the soulstone from Diablo's forehead, causing its body to transform back into that of Prince Albrecht's, who dies.
