This brilliant sorcerer has spent many years training his brilliant magical prowess, and unfortunately even more years fighting off the influence of the lord of destruction Baal. However, it seems he has journeyed to the nexus after being freed from Baal's influence, and seeks to prevent the wrongdoings from the other villains of Sanctuary which have journeyed to this unusual realm.
Note: This is Tal'rasha without being influenced by Baal. He is based off of the Tal'rasha set from diablo 3, as well as the ring convention of elements.
Tal'rasha is a powerful mage who possesses a variety of different crowd control and burst options, however he is limited by the timing of the elements which he utilizes.
