* TheBigGuy: in a surprising twist considering that the Barbarian is in this game. While the Barbarian has the classic heroic physique, the Druid is just ''huge'', with a barrel cheat and gut, being as broad as some people are tall. The male Druid in particular is so big, he looks silly on the donkey he rides in to prologue, which makes it seem like the poor thing died out of exhaustion.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike their Nephalem predecessor who was always exceptional even before awakening their power, the Wanderer starts as a skilled, but relatively unremarkable example of their respective class. Instead of coming to seek out the cause of the coming battle between angelic and demonic forces and guided by Tyrael himself, they ended up involved by stumbling onto demonic activities by pure chance and are left with no choice but to see their quest through with no supernatural guidance. [[spoiler:Well, ''almost'' none. The Bloodied Wolf who helps them get to safety is later revealed to be Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, engaging in some PragmaticVillainy by singling out the Wanderer as his best choice to stop Lilith from wiping out humanity.]]
* TheCorruption: After the prologue mission, they are involuntarily fed a dosage of Lilith's blood by her cultists in preparation to use them as a HumanSacrifice to their "goddess". They're rescued before the sacrifice could go through, but consuming the blood links them to Lilith and threatens to turn them into another of her brainwashed servants. Their only hope of salvation is to find and kill Lilith before their tainted blood takes over completely.
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:They are aided by Mephisto in the battle against Lilith. They aren't at all happy about it, but reluctantly agree as they had no chance of saving Sanctuary from Lilith and Inarius otherwise.]]

* NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler:Late in the game, Lilith shows that she could have neutralized the Wanderer through their shared blood at any time. She never bothered beforehand because she knew that they weren't a real threat to her plans and that they would become a very valuable minion when her blood inevitably overwhelms their willpower. It isn't until Mephisto himself intervenes and grants them the power to escape Lilith's mental domination that she is forced to acknowledge that the Wanderer has become an enemy dangerous enough to be dealt with directly.]]

Added DiffLines:
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He wasn't originally the son of Leoric, hence why he has generic lines during the skeleton king quest.

* MinionMaster: Like the Necromancer from II, he can summon up a small army of skeletons or one very big golem to mash his enemies. Unlike the old Necromancer, the golem and skeleton warriors are auto-generated at no cost (and the skeleton mages/archers are basically a special attack). Instead the Essence cost is for commanding them to do their special attack on the enemy.
