This is the tragic tale of Izual, the Fallen Angel proving the most stoic of Angels are not beyond the reach of Demons grasp.
In todays video we will be exploring Izuals tragic backstory,
INclduing his first cut appearance in Diablo 1 and his official & subsequent emergence in Diablo 2 & 3
Manual:
The video itself is inspired by Chris Metzens art of the Angel & accompanying lore entry in Diablo 1 as Izual was slated to appear with crucial backstory in the manual, reading:
“The battles of the Great Conflict rage across both time and space, often
infringing upon the very fabric of reality itself. From the Crystal Arch at the very
heart of the High Heavens to the arcane Hellforge of the Underworld, the
warriors of these eternal realms journey to wherever their timeless conflict
carries them. The legendary deeds of the heroes of the realms beyond elicit
both veneration and insight.
The greatest of these heroes was Izual, lieutenant to the Arch-Angel
Tyrael and bearer of the Angelic Runeblade Azurewrath. He once led a fierce
attack upon the Hellforge as the creation of the dark demonblade Shadowfang
was nearing completion. His quest was to destroy both wielder and weapon - a
charge that he was destined never to complete. Izual was overcome by the
legions of chaos and, tragically, was lost to the Darkness. His fate stands as
testament to the fact that Angels and Demons alike shall fearlessly enter into
any domain - so long as their hated enemies dwell within.”
Like the unholy blade shadowfangs appearance that was removed prior to launch, so too was Izual's inclusion. Though thankfully the Belzebub mod restores this quest that is a must see for players
