History Characters / DiabloHumans

* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: While Rathma is generally benevolent, he's a firm believer that neither heaven nor hell should ever achieve complete victory. During the Sin War he worked on undermining both sides to maintain balance. He passed on the ideals of the Balance to his followers.

* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Inarius had already killed Rathama years before ''Diablo IV''. The Wanderer met his ghost in the campaign.]]

* YouCantFightFate: [[spoiler:His final conversation with Inarius shows him to be a believer in this, that he saw his own death coming, and the end of Sanctuary, and believe neither can be averted.]]

* TheHero: Of his team.

* BarredFromTheAfterlife: [[spoiler:He made a deal with the Tree of Whispers to get information on Lilith. No matter what sort of afterlife would normally have awaited him, he's doomed to spend of eternity as just another addition to its collection of undying severed heads after death, right alongside his former student, Elias]].

* SenselessSacrifice: An unintentional tragic example. [[spoiler:Sick and tired of Lilith being always two steps ahead, he resorts to asking the Tree of Whispers for her next location. Unfortunately, he unaware that the Cathedral of Light had already tracked her down and was preparing to march their forces to kill her themselves. Meaning that all he accomplished with his desperate sacrifice was earn himself eternal imprisonment for nothing.]]
* SoleSurvivor: Twice over. He's the sole member of the party trying to stash the Black Soulstone. [[spoiler:By the time of ''Diablo 4'' he's the one of the last of the Horadrim. By the end of the game, he is the last remaining Horadrim]].

* TookALevelInCynic: Watching Malthael and his Reapers wipe out 90% of humanity for utterly petty reason, the survivors over turning to worship the detached, uncaring Inarius for salvation, Tyrael vanishing, the Nephalem leaving for parts unknown, and the Horadrim dying sure put a toll on his idealism. By ''Diablo IV'', Lorath is a bitter old man who sought to live alone and ignore the world's troubles until they literally kicked the door to his home.

* IllGirl: In her youth, Prava had a debilitating seizure disorder that robbed her of her childhood. Inarius was able to heal her condition, inspiring her faith in the angel and leading her to the Church.

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Sealing Mephisto didn't left her untouched. As seen in the cinematic, she's now followed by him and very likely gradually corrupted.]]

* AllPowerfulBystander: As a first Generation Nephalem, he wields power that rivals the strongest of demons and angels. [[spoiler:But he sat by the events of the games prior to Diablo IV, because he foresaw the end of Sanctuary and his own death at Inarius' hands, and believes it unavoidable. When Inarius finally came to him to demand his help, Ratha didn't attempt to defend himself.]]

The most powerful of the original founding members of the Horadrim, Zoltun Kulle is... or rather ''was'' a mage of unparalleled power and skill, probably the best ''ever''. He was also completely [[EvilSorcerer insane]]. He participated in the Horadrim's hunt and capture of the three Prime Evils , and served as the keeper of the order's Soulstones. After the hunt was complete, he lost his sense of purpose, and became obsessed with the power of the Soulstones, and with duplicating and improving Tyrael's design for them. Eventually, he left the order and retreated to the deserts outside Caldeum, where he built his [[EldritchLocation Archives]], a place where he conducted unspeakable experiments aimed at creating a Soulstone of his own, which he would then use to unlock his Nephalem potential (that the Worldstone had suppressed). His evil spread so far, and became such a threat that the order rallied against him, eventually breaching his Archive and stopping him before he could complete the Black Soulstone, his creation. Since they were unable to kill him, however, the order instead removed his head, hiding it away while stashing his body in AnotherDimension, and sealed his Archive with a curse. Obviously, he's [[NotQuiteDead far from dead]]...

* MagnumOpus: The Black Soulstone is by far his most prized work, with him having gone through great lengths, including a few immoral ones, to put together an artificial Soulstone.

* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice naturally registers in the BassoProfundo range.

* KarmaHoudini: She wrecks havoc, kills dozens of people and escapes without a scratch after her simulacrum is destroyed.

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: [[spoiler:Elias was his apprentice, before he became Lilith's summoner]].
* SenselessSacrifice: An unintentional tragic example. [[spoiler:Sick and tired of Lilith being always two steps ahead, he resorts to asking the Tree of Whispers where she is. He is unaware that the Cathedral of Light ''was already'' poised to attack the very same place where he made a deal to learn for the same reason of stopping her, meaning that all he did was earn himself eternal imprisonment for nothing.]]

* TookALevelInCynic: Watching Malthael cause 90% of humanity to be wiped out, people turning to worship the detached, uncaring Inarius for salvation, Tyrael vanishing, and the Horadrim dying sure put a toll on his idealism. By ''Diablo IV'', Lorath is a bitter old man who sought to live alone and ignore the world's troubles till they literally kicked the door to his home.

* AllPowerfulBystander: As a first Generation Nephalem, he wields power that rivals demons and angels. [[spoiler:But he sat by the events of the games prior to Diablo IV, because he foresaw the end of Sanctuary and his own death at Inarius' hands, and believes it unavoidable. When Inarius finally came to him to demand his help, Ratha didn't attempt to defend himself.]]

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:In a summary of the events of ''Diablo IV'', Lorath theorizes that Donan was acting uncharacteristically reckless in Hell before he was mortally wounded out of a subconscious desire to [[TogetherInDeath reunite with his family in death]].]]

* SmugSnake: Ultimately, Elias is this. While he performed competently most of the time, he's far less clever and important than he thinks he is. For example, he was absolutely shoddy in securing his immortality. Literally the only thing protecting it was the secrecy of the sunken temple's location. He didn't even have the sense to have some sort of alert informing him of any disturbance to his finger. Once the sunken temple's location was known, the Wanderer walked in, took the finger and then burnt it at a campfire, ''all without his knowledge''.

* StoneWall: Kormac is the most defensively oriented of the followers, specializing in healing, drawing enemy attention, and damage mitigation.
