Lillith
Diablo 4 has been announced, with a returning villain whom a lot of Diablo fans might be very familiar with her name — Lilith, but first, lets start from the ending of Of Diablo 3. In the aftermath of Azmodans defeat, Adria turned on everyone including her daughter Leah at Bastions Keep revealing her true goal — to use the black-soul stone that contained the seven evil to resurrect Diablo as the prime-evil by using Leah as the Diablo’s vessel killing Leah in the process. Diablo begins to wreak havoc, starting with Bastons Keep all the way up to the high-heavens until the nephalem defeats him, but his essence is trapped within the black-soul-stone, destroying it could risk spreading the evil essence corrupting the high-heavens in the process, so the best course of action was to seal the stone away in the blood-marsh, however, all did not go as it seemed. Maltheal former angel or Wisdom now turned into angel of death kills several members of the new Horadrim except for Lorath whom Tyreal helps escape and Tyreal himself who is spared by Maltheal due to not having any demonic essence within him. Maltheal takes the blacksoul stone to remove demonic essence from every man, woman and child killing them in the process. In the final battle at the pandemonium fortress, Maltheal is defeat and destroyed, however a new problem break out — before the final battle, the hero tracks and kills adria after she gloats that Diablo sent her a vision about his return and the hero was the one that freed him, during the final battle, Maltheal destroys the blacksoul stone to enhance himself by absorbing the demonic essence. After Maltheal’s defeat, we learn from both the hero and Tyreal that Maltheal’s death has freed diablo which means Diablo will be returning in the future which bring us to this. Diablo 4 is said to take place many years after the events of Diablo 3, the prime-Evil is at large, and Maltheal is gone, in other words there is a power vacuum. Mephisto’s daughter, Lillith has returned. Lillith is the mother of Sanctuary just as Inarius is the father of Sanctuary. With Maltheal and the seven evils gone, this is the perfect opening for Mephisto’s daughter to rule, the only question is, “ what plans does she have for Sanctuary”?
