History

The Prime Evils were the most powerful beings of the Burning Hells that consisted of hellspawned demonic brothers with the three originally ruling Hell together as a triumvirate, until the Lesser Evils conspired against them and overthrew them onto the mortal plane.

Long ago, an uprising occurred within the Burning Hells which saw the Lesser Evils turn against the Prime Evils in an attempt to usurp them. This saw the Three Evils being banished to the mortal plane onto Sanctuary with this event being known as the Dark Exile. Now amongst the mortals, the demonic entities preyed on the world of Man in the ancient days before the rise of the Western Empires. Their wanderings around the world led to them feeding upon the lusts of mankind with them leaving chaos in their wake. The Three Evils tore apart nations and caused numerous petty wars with the demons feeding on the suffering and pain created during this time. Thus, they were responsible for ravaging the lands of the Far East for countless generations. Eventually, the High Heavens dispatched the Archangel Tyrael who took on a mortal guise and formed a brotherhood of magi known as the Horadrim. These sorcerers were then dispatched with the task of hunting down and imprisoning the Prime Evils within soulstones. They were able to capture the Lord of Hatred Mephisto and the Lord of Destruction Baal within the stones with the Horadrim continuing their efforts in capturing the youngest brother that was the Lord of Terror Diablo. Their pursuit of him took decades where they followed the chaos he had created in the Western lands.

Diablo's soul stone was then buried deep beneath caverns under the town of Tristram. Then several years before the start of the game, Diablo was set free, causing havoc to Tristram and the hero of the game must fight through the horde of monsters and slay Diablo.

After the hero defeated Diablo, he attempted to prevent Diablo's return by containing the demon lord within him. However, the hero slowly became corrupted and was driven by Diablo to seek his brothers: Mephisto and Baal.
