Cain is an old man in diablo. id say 60-70. and diablo 2 takes place just about right after diablo 1 ends so not much aging there. but then 20 years after diablo 2, he's still around and not senile! (from what ive seen)
dont get me wrong i like the consistancy of deckard Cain through all three games, im just trying to figure out how old this dude is!

He is old.
My grandfather lived to be 90 something, and he wasn't remotely senile. He didn't move around much though.
Considering that this is "the Middle Ages", a time in which if you made it to 40 you were doing great, Cain isa legend! He has to be pushing 60 in d2. so he would be nigh on 80 by the time of D3. That's two lifetimes by the standards of the time. And this is in a world were there are no elves or gnomes who life to be 500 or even 5000. (Illidan and Malfurion are 15032 years old Tyrande is 13836 years old, Muradin was 221 when he died.)

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Yea wasn't the Summoner hundreds of years old? Or was he not human?
Also not sure of the life spans in the Diablo world, but I know in other fantasy settings like that of Tolkien's, the men of Numenor lived to be three times that of us. Aragorn was way old to our standards in Return of the King, but was still relatively young by their standards. Maybe Diablo lore writers drew some of these aging characteristics from other fantasy worlds.
And on a side note... I think that girl in the trailer is Cain's love child with Atma. I mean she looks to be about twenty, so.... makes sense, right?
Umm, the age thing is kinda weird. I think it's weirder that he pulled a Michael Jackson cuz he was definitely black in Diablo 2 ( bad lighting? ) and now he's white.
Well he is not black black, more of a brown, but he is like the Paladin and sorcerer from d1. more the sorcerer from d1, because that character has a similar voice to.

Reading keeps a healthy mind and a healthy mind keeps the body going.
No one reads more books then Cain.

Cain is a Horadric mage. All of the Horadrim have a life expectancy of 200 years. Cain is currently 190 years old.
Okay I'm pulling numbers out of my ass, but that's my speculation, that it has something to do with Horadric magic.

Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!

Well, since the only time ive seen him inside is in the gameplay trailer, he must kust be really tan from being outside all the time ha.
So if I say that I'm the last of the Great Egyptian Pharaos makes me a Pharao? Awesome.
I shall Henceforth be known as Pharao Imothep Luckmann II!
Edit: On a related subject, I never considered Cain black either. He doesn't look black in any of the games, not even in D3.
He is a horadrim. The horadrim were a group of mages that conspired with tyrael in order to imprison the primes. He is a horadrim because he helped imprison the primes.
Perhaps some of the power from Diablo, in the first game, rubbed off on him.
I remember reading something about it in Cain's Journal on the D3 website.
its just like one of the blizzard guys told, Cain is a very lucky man...
haHAhahAhAHa, very lucky indeed :thumbsup: he fights/fought(at least survived) inoumerous waves of monsters and still fights aging

my english may not be as good as yours, but im sure that my portuguese is... :rolleyes: http://xinube.mybrute.com/
Why Cain or anyone other NPCs Why not the Barbarian, he is clearly rather central to the Diablo story, they borught the class back, and not only that, it's story/lore wise the same barbarian.
Why can't this girl he the barbarian daughter.
Barbs need the mc lovin' too.
Sure Cain sounds like Sean Connery (AKA James Bond, the biggest studmeister out there), but man, he is old! And clearly pre occupied with tomes and wallowing about how he didn't stop the wanderer when he could, and did I mention he was old?

Are you referring to the cinematic teaser?
1. That might not be Cain.
or
2. There are demons running into the damn church, I'd turn pale too.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

LOL, or it could be any of the women in any of the acts. Cain is a promiscuous little pimp, he is!
just to think about Cain's hot nights with Atma makes me sick... no way^_^

How about Hratli? I think it was Hratli.
Why can't this girl he the barbarian daughter.
