Haedrig lived most of his late life in the infamous village of Tristram where he acted as a blacksmith. He was present during the Darkening of Tristram and the return of demons to the land of Sanctuary. During these dark times, Haedrig chose to remain in Tristram with his beloved wife, Mira, to forge wares for the warriors that sought the ancient evil now tormenting his home. Hammering his way into the Nexus, Haedrig is a robust melee specialist who focuses on forging powerful weapons and armor to assist his allies in battle.

Despite powerful defensive abilities, Haedrig has no escape and can be easily locked down.
Requires strong/durable melee heroes to be effective.
Heavily dependent on allies to be successful.
