Diablo Ending - Sorcerer

Ending movie from the game Diablo. Sorcerer ending.
"The Summoner, the corrupted Mage from the Second Act that was impersonating Horazon, was evidently the Sorcerer in the first Diablo game. Jerhyn and Drognan speak of a near-insane Vizjerei mage who arrived in Lut Gholein (presumably seeking Horazon's sanctuary) claiming to have fought against Diablo in Tristram, suggesting that mage became the Summoner. The Summoner is also dark skinned, like the dark-skinned Sorcerer in the original Diablo."

I remember this, as i am one of those of you who actually played the game through and beat Diablo ^^ but here are two questions:

1. Who's the guy that appears at the end; the former diablo-possesee with a hole in his head? Don't remember him. Is he just a random guy or does he have some backstory?

2. What would've happened if the wanderer had simply left the stone alone? Did he really HAVE to thrust it into himself? can't remember the rules ^^

@MetallSwede

1. He is the son of king Leoric. In one of the books in D1 it sais Diablo most probably will seek to posess a weak soul, that of an old or a child.

2. The hero had no clue what to do with the soulstone and the only reasonable solution is to captivate Diablos soul within himself, he did just beat the Lord of terror and thought he would be stronger. This was Diablos plan all along, to get to posess a strong soul.

the rogue is bloodraven, the sorcerer the summoner, and the warrior is actually "diablo".

Damn that nigga had nowhere else to hide the ruby.

[boyscyphor]

@larbjov he tried to possess king leoric but he was too strong and taking his son was a quick back up plan which worked because he was still quite innocent and very easy to possess but u were on the right lines

[boyscyphor]

@Gentlemenwithgoldhat dude did u actually play diablo 2 the dark wanderer is just a title and taking in the soulstone made hin become the vessel for diablo which eventually became diablo himself

[XEL777]

@larbjov to be fair to the Wanderer, he had a good reason for wanting to captivate Diablo within himself - he reasonably figured that otherwise the demon would be spreading his influence from the Soulstone unchecked.

[Grimbear13]

@MetallSwede As for why he slams the stone into his head, personally I'm with you and woulda just kept it or something, but the story is that Aiden thought himself strong enough to contain Diablo. And as larbjov pointed out this was Diablo's plan from the beginning as he now had a body that was capable of venturing out of the depths of the Cathedral.

[Grimbear13]

@MetallSwede As larbjov stated it's King Leoric's younger son. The Sorcer and Rogue endings are non-cannon, with the "true" ending being that of the Warrior who was either retconned or later told to be Aiden Leoric's eldest son returned from the crusades. He is the one who becomes the Dark Wanderer in D2 while supposedly the Rogue and Sorcerer go mad from the experience as a whole and become Blood Raven and The Summoner respectively.

@MetallSwede The thing he should have done (and what ends up happening in D2) is he should have smashed it in the hellforge, if he left it alone, evil things would have tried to take it back, and that's really it.

[MetallSwede]

@larbjov

Ah, yes, it would be fitting that it is the weak king's son ^^

But as for the soulstone, theoretically, what would've happened if he had just left the stone where it fell? Would Diablo be able to come back without a vessel to posess? That never made any sense to me. If the prime evils need to posess a mortal, why not just leave the stones? I don't remember if it is explained in game or not, but if it is, i have definitely forgotten it. ^^

@Gentlemenwithgoldhat The Warrior became the Dark Wanderer who was Diablo... so yes the Warrior IS Diablo.
