Lilith
Lilith, known as having many titles (Mother of Misery, Queen of the Succubi, Mother of Deceit, Mistress of Betrayal) is a powerful demon, who is of power with the Great Evils (the seven Prime Evils & Lesser Evils combined), but not counted as one. She is daughter of Mephisto, sister of Lucion, mother of Andariel and matriarch of demons.

Appearance
In her true form Lilith is a Demoness taller than a man, with splayed hooves for feet. Her body has a dark green complexion, and is "very very female" and still hideous to behold. She has fiery emerald coloured quills and scales on her head in place of hair. These quills also runs down her spine, into a reptilian tail ending in savage barbs. Her hands have four fingers ending in curved claws. Lilith's mouth is full of fang-like teeth and her eyes are smouldering crimson orbs devoid of pupils.
Despite obvious demonic traits, she is still has ample curves in the hips waist and bust, and she possess a beautiful face.
Background
Lilith is a manipulator and seductress, attractive even in her demonic form. She has always aimed to receive affection from powerful beings, using them as pawns to further her own goals. Such examples include Inarius and Uldyssian.
Sanctuary and Nephalem
She was part of the rogue demons and angels who created Sanctuary. Her mating with Inarius resulted in the Nephalem cross between angel and demonkind, a very powerful race of beings who later became the dominant race on Sanctuary, the humans.
However, she desired to use these powerful Nephalem as an army to take on both the Burning Hells as well as the High Heavens and with that came into conflict with Inarius who wanted to undo their creation. Lilith prevented this by killing many of the rogue demons and angels, but ended with her being banished from Sanctuary.
The Sin War
Lilith later returned[1] and tried once more to use the Nephalem against her percieved opponents, weakening the Worldstone (that prevents Nephalem from developing their powers) and helped awaken Uldyssian's hidden Nephalem powers. She tried to seduce him into creating the army of Nephalem she wanted, but ultimately failed as Uldyssian used his power against her.
Inarius also helped stopping her from behind the scenes, as was Rathma, and he banished her once more from Sanctuary.
Diablo II
- It has been debated if this part of Lilith's story is canon or not, since it's a Battle.net only event.
As the heroes searched for Diablo, and killed legions of Succubi and Lilith's daughter Andariel, she decided to intervene personally.
She masterminded the revival of Diablo by manifesting herself in the mortal realm and performing a ritual of Dark Summoning. This ritual, long thought to be impossible by the most powerful mortal wizards, allowed Lilith to link with Diablo across realms, strengthening him until he was finally able to once again reincarnate himself in the mortal plane.
Rage and a deep yearning for revenge boiled within the eyes of the Lord of Terror, and together he and Lilith resurrected the two remaining Prime Evils as well as Duriel and Izual, two of their strongest agents.
Diablo announced his grand plan - the Three were finally strong enough to spread Pandemonium throughout Sanctuary. Lilith could have easily conducted an assault on her own, but because she had been left severely weakened by the Dark Summoning ritual, she agreed to aid the Prime Evils and command some of their remaining forces.
