Lesser Evils

Though the franchise is named after Diablo, the Lord of Terror is not the only of the Evils to stalk the surface of Sanctuary.

Diablo 4 is on its way in just a few short months, so now is a fantastic time to look into the lore and see how some old characters might make their return.

It's understandable if you sometimes find it hard to understand what the Great Evils of the Burning Hells are, and which demons are in that terrifying host, in the Diablo universe.

There's both Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 guaranteed on the horizon, with a potential revisiting of Diablo 2's story in a remastered (nay, Resurrected?) version.

Here we are, four years after the launch of Diablo 3, and I'm still playing the game.

So we had a big announcement at Gamescom this month, and we know now that World of Warcraft is getting a big new expansion, Legion.

From this whirling nightmare, this bloated ruin of the first evil's corpse crawled the demons. The Burning Hells could in a real sense be said to be the blackened corpse of Tathemet itself, and at the center of the Hells lies the Black Abyss, from which rose the Great Evils. Essentially birthed from the seven heads of Tathemet, there were the three Primes -- Mephisto, Baal and Diablo -- and the four Lessers.
