The Tragic Downfall of Imperius - Aspect of Wrath [Diablo Lore] 

I know this is a old comment. But I think this is exactly what will happen. At the end of diablo 3 we see Tyreal become the angel of wisdom so we know they can change roles. I think if Imperius overcomes his hate borderline wrath... The role for the angel of justice is available.......

I think they r going to try that with anarius

Instablaster.

Hope we get to see him... in Diablo IV. 😀

His wings are unique as well.

YES OF COURSE IT IS

@@kiroslepoto Thank you both

Angels can become as corrupt as the demons they face, likely as a result of them being descendants of the original primeval being. The Angels came from the part that wished perfection, Anu, and the demons came from the evil it expelled from itself, the Dragon Tathamet. Because of this link, dark and light can become interchangeable between them.

All things are corruptible Maltheal became Death to pacify all life. As all things can be redeemed if they so choose remember Lilith. Despite being a demon she loved her children, and would protect them at all costs. The Priests of Rathma aka Necromancers are the only ones who are truly right to maintain a balance between “good and evil” to stay true to their nature, and remain stalwart against corruption of “good or evil”.

Granted Lilith once again succumbed to her demonic nature she still ruthlessly tried to defend the Nephilim when Inaruis’s followers suggested that they be destroyed.

With that. God and you can agree on this.

In fact, in Heroes of the Storm one of Tyrael's skins is his "demonic version" and in the description he's said to be the Aspect of Pride

Probably. They probs bonded over their mutual love for star-forged weaponry.

I wonder what crossover universe you all are thinking about.

The concept of starts wasnt invented at the time of norse gods fool.

Thor did not make Mjolinir, Odin did

It's funny you mention them both because I was thinking about how tyrael being able to pick up imperius's staff when they fought was similar to captain america being able to pick up thor's hammer as captain america is for justice and worthy of a weapon that isn't his just like tyrael was worthy and how he is for justice.

Would you call him a soy boi? Huehuehue xD

what is BOI ? you mean boy ? and why you call very very old angel a boy ?

2 MW it was a joke you nerd

He a edgy boi, OwO we all know imperius is just tsundere

Thats why he leads the angery council

CustodialFather in Texas That's how I saw it.

He just hadnt the balls to do whats necessary thats why he had to leave it to the Nephalem.Lets face it:Imperius has reached his Limits he was supposed to be the greatest warrior of Creation but the Nephalem stand outside that ranking and deep down within he feels like he is of no use anymore after getting his ass kicked by Diablo and later not been able to stop Malthael.

I don't believe that was the case. He could have defeated Malthael but he didn't want to. He left it to the Nephalem because he didn't want to kill one he saw as a brother. However maybe seeing what Malthael became will change Imperius.

GMorgan84:He could NOT have defeated him.Malthael as the Aspect of Death was at the same Level at least like Diablo as the primal Evil.And btw.trying to stop him does not Always means killing him.

@@marcuskurze9759 Are you sure of that?

He also technically handed the black soulstone right to Malthael by taking it out of heaven. Granted he wasn't trying to do that and he did try to fix it.

The treaty was à ruse so that thé démons could spread their influence among humans. Once tyrael saw that why, would he follow the treaty ? If the demons manage to bring the nephalems to their side heaven would be destroyer.

Yes, everything was an inside job done by Tyrael with Diablo, where he and Diablo can take total control of heaven and hell. Like how he took down Imprius and act as the leader in heaven,in compare to Diablo become Prime Evil and freed by Tyrael

Hello brother tell me which country r u from?

@@Lightoffivestars you didn't understand anything I said and twisted everything. Tyrael geniuly wanted the treaty to take effect. But the demons signed the treaty so that the angel wouldn't affect the humans to their causes and they would be to brainwash the humans. Imperius though it was great because he didn't like humans. But Tyrael saw the danger and couldn't watch any longer. There is no reason to respect the treaty if demons. Do not respect it.

Let's hope, that Blizzard has an interesting Character developement for Imperius at plan. Something like, banishing or cursing him as a mortal to sanctuary, until he learns the true meaning of valor, by spending time among humans, in order to earn his wings back, would be a good example.

I'm waiting for another xp Pac myself, but I hear that may not happen. I'm not talking about the necromancer add on either...

well, one year later, i'm guessing they had some backchannel knowledge about D4 in development.

its because most of the time good and light is tied to order and discipline, while evil is tied to chaos. Naturally all things seek chaos and im not sure if there even is a case of chaos seeking order irl (not sure if the cooling of the universe counts as chaos seeking order). Its basically entropy.

He was once considered the strongest fighter created, but now he can only watch as the nephalem does what he could not do; whether it’s defeating diablo or malthael. Not a downfall as much as it is the nephalem rising above.

Who said he's finished falling.

At his peak he could take on all 3 prime evils by himself, I think he is losing power as wrath slowly consume his soul and there is nothing he could do about it, which makes him even angrier.

there is no downfall,he could have joined Malthael(during RoS) otherwise

I had no idea Imperius was this powerful. When did he do this?

Chris:Actually no.If he would have got his will and humanity would have been destroyed the heavens would loose the Eternal Conflict.Humanity is the only Chance the heavens have.Of Course he will never see it that way.

@@marcuskurze9759 Why they would lose?

It's also his fault that diablo is even here he killed him knowing full well he would come back

@@jemperdiller Because during the Eternal Conflict, there were several times where the demon army made it to the Diamond Gate (High Heaven's entrance). Most of the time, the demon army would just crush the angels by their sheer number, until one of the Prime Evils decide to betrays his brethren for the sake of assuring victory for himself, which makes the unity from the demon army crumble, giving time to angels to reorganize their forces, and to strike strategically to their weak spot. Consequently, the only thing that saves the angels from losing the Eternal Conflict (before the reappearance of the Nephalems) is the many internal conflicts within the Burning Hell's forces, mostly provoked by Diablo's ambition to be #1, or Mephisto's plotting for the lul.

@@mateochouinard-gagnon2481 Thanks for comment. But that means that Demons can win only if they are united by black soulstone, forged by humans, ergo Imperius was right. There was a balance now ruined by humanity and OP nephalems.

Lilith would like a word with you, Soon™

@@IamMonikaDLC Lilith is good? She sure banged alot of people though, angels and humans alike

@@IamMonikaDLC post Diablo 4 trailer spoiler: Lilith is the big bad.

Surprise, he's the new end game boss in D4! Nah, they wouldn't do that. But then I thought they'd never kill Cain with butterfly magic so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah well when it comes to writing characters blizzard kinda sucks balls at it. They start developing nice character and then when everyone loves him they don't know how to progress him anylonger so they just fucking kill them with some random shit... If you look at WoW lore Legion ending is one of most retarded things ever... They had over 15 years to write that lore and the way they ended it is just plain fucking retarded. Same with Garrosh one badass orc turned into sidekicking crap or at WoD Grom Hellscream that was most lame fucking Orc I have ever seen ingame. All that big talk and he did literally nothing for the whole expansion simply because they had no idea how to develop him. So yeah in short I wouldn't be surprised if Imperius got killed by the bowl of wet noodles.

Favorite Character?What do you like it when treated like crap?

@@omek6 Cain deserved his rest way before D3. Dude lived through diablo twice, and instead of letting his life end peacefully, they shove his dusty ass into 3 as nothing more than a weak cameo, instead of introducing a new scholarly character. Something that leah should have been but NOPE CANT HAVE THAT CAN WE BLIZZARD! Gotta have some damn self important voice line dumpster because we need tension or some shit.

@@Michael-ft5bm I agree Leah got royally screwed, and I actually liked her as a character. Honestly the first time I played Diablo 3 I thought Leah was the Nephalem since she mentioned having an unexplained surge in power. Also during conversation with Alaric (I think that's his name) my character doesn't speak or acknowledge the possibility of being a Nephalem so that didn't help either.

Alpha Reccon I recommend reading some of the books, deffently sin wars 1 and 2 with kingdom of shadow and the legacy of blood. If not, the book of Cain gives a good over view of everything along with the book of tyrael for extended of the d3 lore

That sounds like a solid theory in my opinion.

yeah...im a little bit dissapointed when he had shown his face... this may sound racist but i expect him to be a white dude(im asian)... you cant really blame me but as a kid back then all you can see in the movies are angels being in white skin... so yeah lol...

You both are terrible...

Tyrone like from ownagepranks?

@@ritzroldennalpajora4742 Well it makes sense, we associate whiteness with purity, goodness, and generally all things divine. Not for any racial reason, but for simple evolutionary reasons, this makes it logical that whites seem inherently more angelic to us. I don't however think that that's purely the reason for your disappointment, I think this is a case where reality can never live up to imagination. His face being hidden in darkness allows us to imagine anything we want, and just like when a movie doesn't show a monster, our imagination is always better than reality. On top of that comes the fact that they didn't pick a particularly angelic looking black dude, who looks like an average, scruffy, 40 year old dude. Had they given him a perfectly clean, perfect skinned black dude with flowing black hair I think you would have been less disappointed. There are simply aspects that we associate with perfection, had Tyreal been an overweight slob with a receding hairline, a weak jaw, with half his teeth missing, with boils on his oversized nose, we'd have been disappointed. Even so, I understand why they chose this look, it's to make his "mortality" more evident, he's truly "one of us". He's not some ubermensch, he's just some random dude, no prettier, or cleaner than any other. I think his mundane look was chosen to reflect that. Still disappointing though.

Ritz Roldenn Alpajora eat ur heart out Asian. The “game character” is black. Lol

Amen

You got your wish

It's as Tyrael says, humanity is their best hope. _...And, at the End of Days, Wisdom shall be lost_ _as Justice falls upon the world of men._ _Valor shall turn to Wrath -_ _and all Hope will be swallowed by Despair._ _Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all -_ _as Fate lies shattered forever._

It’s typical of story telling. Evil can do whatever the hell it wants whilst good is always on the back foot and requires some trash mortals to aid it. It’s getting really tiresome.

@@Tommybotham The alternative is a boring Mary Sue.

@@AdnanAli-rb3lt Or just Heaven and Hell being equally strong, but the Prime Evil tipping the scales in Hell's favor

franchise' THE ONE THAT GAVE BIRTH BLIZZARD.

The autism seeping from your comment is too much to bear.

Lol Diablo will never be forgotten by them. The fanbase is too large. They are just taking their sweet time writing the new game’s story. I have faith in Blizzard that it will be beautifully done.

Possum Fury You know it will be. I fell in love with 3, and I've got high hopes for 4. I'm glad it was my first Blizzard title, I don't regret it one bit.

i was about to ask that does anyone even PLAY diablo 3 anymore?

Save him and than what?We already safed his feathered ass once and what did we got in return?Nothing.He just stood there while Maltael almost destroyed all humanity.After saving the heavens from becoming Penthouse hell it would have been nice to see some revange but no.

Marnige:In comparison to the Neohalem he IS weak.And Deep down within he knows that.The fight against Diablo an Steroids has shown this clearley.He is just not able to see the truth like Tyrael did,Humanity is the only hope for the heavens to survive and it will not help that Imperius hasnt done a Thing to Prevent Malthael from killing countless of humans.But anyway I wouldnt demand him to bow befoere me just the recognision that the Nephalem saved him and heavens as well.

@Marnige I would argue they were worse since they caused the issues in those books to begin with because they were bad parents. On Imperious, well I think the issue is he sees in black and white. He only sees the demon influence in humanity. He doesn't see that they can be good as well. Though even Tyrael said in the end that he was worried about what the hero would do since he/she proved themselves but they are a human so he could screw them over just as easily.

So THE NEPHALIM IS US! WOW... concludes a long debate.

I agree with you mortal

He is basically "I will do what needs to be done, but I will be super unpleasant about it"

@@hangmingzhang5067 imperius is cute tbh😆

Blade of the Tribes

Pretty sure he killed Diablo before even diablo 1, we kill diablo again in diablo 2, don't we?

@@markmoore4079 It would not have been nescessary when he would sit in a cell or whatever in the heavens.Maybe the hells even would have been defeated at that time.

There can be only blood for blood in their nature

Well except Inarius

That's the difference between heaven and hell. Evils regenerate while angels are replaced by new angels.

He was until he left and became the archangel of Death.

Traetuus Plays I love Diablo but wow lore is 10 times better and deeper

Half the cast wear demon makeup, the other half have no faces. :D

If only the people behind the cinematic trailers would be in charge of a Warcraft movie.. I don't care if they would work on it for 10 years, but when it would come out, it would freeze the whole movie industry in place. *looks at the Wrath of the Lich King trailer, graphics from the Warlords of Draenor trailer, or Legion, and feels from Old Soldier* Just take a moment and imagine...

SILENCE

Thats where the plot twist begins.. new expansion .. etc..

ThisIsG Not in the fashion that demons do. A new angel gets born to replace. Not reborn.

DreadPages But at the same time they dont die as easily.

@ dreadpages: Not true. In the games for example it was mentioned, that the angels expected Izual to be reborn at the arch, but it never happened, probably due to his corruption. Death for angles usually is not permanent. Inarius, after he was captured by the deamons, also expected to be killed and to "respawn". Its the same as with the deamons really. Tyrael also reformed himself after the destruction of the worldstone.

Curse isn't Blizzard.

Point taken. It's just ones wishful thinking (?).

Curse is owned by Twitch though

I honestly did not know that. News to me. Thank you.

...and Twitch is owned by Amazon, in case you didn't hear that yet. :)

Well i have Good news for you He's coming to PTR 2nd Jan 2019

I hope so I would enjoy it to kick his ass down into oblivion once and for all and take revenge for all he has done.

Good

There is no diablo anime. Those are just cinematic from game announcment

@@Ab-cz1ii no it was a custom made video

I believe this is what you seek

Yes I am

Joaquin Gutierrez that's blizzard's job

Its happening I think

They did

You can say that mortal but Solaris will end your blasphemy

I am not easily killed

While true, the soul stone would be more fitting.

Yes

Hm

Amen to that.But I am actually pissed off with the other Angels as well.

Same except for Malthael

Diabolo 4 lol

Know this and imagine starting a new game on level 16 with diablo being the equivalent of Kain the elder but telling you all sorts of truth along you there will be Gharbad , Maiden Of Anguish , Lazarus , The Undead King Leoric But your characters to choose from Dark Knight Succubus and Lich the goal would be to get up to tristram and Destroy the 3 Horadrim hired bounty hunters along the way there will be books with horadrim propaganda all kinds of heroes attacking and all new quests , this can be done with freeablo. Put the Arcanes Valor quest in it but the Hero Of Light will not attack you in diablo 1 the hero of light attacks thats how i knew i played as the bad guy

Try:)

I would personally call him the aspect of Pride

It is not a sneak attack but a tactic not all wars are won with brute force but what would a Mortal like you know

@@ClassicClown aren't you also a mortal? since you don't deny half of the things i said then that means you also approve of the things i said, by the way a tactic were you sacrifice your own troops for your own glory can instead be intercepted as cowardice and it can be viewed as an act of impudence especially when the ultimate objective hasn't been completed.there sacrifices has gone to waste thanks to their leader.

Or as evil as a demon
