Baal

Last Updated:

Baal, Lord of Destruction, is the brashest and most reckless of the Prime Evils. After the Dark Exile, he was contained in the Horadrim Tal Rasha and entombed. Centuries later, Diablo freed Baal, who then corrupted the Worldstone and damaged it irreversibly, forcing the Arcangel Tyrael to destroy it. He was eventually defeated by the Nephalem and his spirit was trapped by Diablo's lackey, Adria the Witch, in the Black Soulstone, in a plan to merge all Great Evils into a singular Prime Evil entity in Diablo himself. However, when new heroes rose up and once again managed to kill Diablo, Baal's spirit is set free.

Now Baal has torn a rift into the many realities of the Nexus, bringing with him a miasma of death and catastrophe. Soon he will join his brothers, Mephisto and Diablo, and together they shall conquer these new realms and all of infinity. After all, where Hatred and Terror tread, Destruction is sure to follow.

Baal is a ruthless Melee Assassin that summons Festering Appendages to help him fight and defend his territory.
