For eons, Imperius has served as the commander of the High Heavens' angelic warriors, leading them to numerous victories against the Burning Hells. Such was his charge, for he is the Archangel of Valor, fearless even to the direst of demons and demonic magics. However, with incredible valor came brashness and arrogance. All that will come to a head when the Worldstone goes missing.

Sometime during the time of the Eternal Conflict, Inarius, an angel and Lilith, a succubus demon, led some of their kind away from both the High Heavens and the Burning Hells, having had enough of the war. There, they created Sanctuary, home to their offspring, the Nephalem, and their descendants, humanity. Imperius was very furious with the information that angels and demons had bred together and produced offspring that are half-angel, half-demon. He was so much furious, he moved for the destruction of Sanctuary, but Tyrael and Auriel contradicting the move, with Malthael choosing to go neutral. As such, he was obliged to make a deal with Mephisto to let the Nephalem choose their own paths.

A millenium had passed, a millenium seemingly tame, which proved very unconducive to Imperius, as he was denied opportunities to prove his valor. As such, he became very legalistic, to the point where he was a tyrannical ruler. As a result of his actions, he fell into conflict with his brother Tyrael, Aspect of Justice. Their conflict worsened by the day, until one conflict ended in Tyrael openly defying the High Heavens' edict, shedding his wings and his rank in an act of protest, casting himself out of the High Heavens. When the time came to confront Diablo, now the Prime Evil, he failed, the combined essences of the 7 Prime Evils proving too much for him, having to retreat after his spear broke and being impaled by Diablo itself. When he learned of the Nephalem's victory over Diablo, that hurt his pride so that he didn't even thank the heroes that reclaimed the High Heavens for him and his kind. Now in the Nexus after the events of Malthael's betrayal, he proves that he is the Archangel of Valor, unmatched in combat.
