Pretty sure you didn't read that. Also Inarius was the most powerful at one time, when he was connected to the world stone. The poster might have meant that. I dont think it ever says any angel is stronger than the other in general though.
Yesbutno is actually correct, Uldyssian notices that Tyrael is far stronger than Inarius after he has severed the angel's connection to the Worldstone.

ALOT of attribution to the fan books and concept art, I personally dont think developers will follow so strictly to these items rather they'd aim to continue with an audience pleasing, yet understandable storyline from Diablo 2.
So here's my theory:
Let's see keepin it simple: DI- hero saves world, DII- hero is corrupted by Diablo becomes diablo and heroes unite to save sanctuary with the help of an angel and an old man. Now what could top that?
How bout DIII- Diablo has corrupted an angel (probably Imperius), The angels pick up on this and strip Imperius of his powers and send him to sanctuary for humans to deal with, Unfortanetly they underestimate the power of a demonic-angel and Imperius brings back Diablo and the two wage war on heaven and sanctuary. The ending battle is fighting Diablo and Imperius at the same time.
My second theory is that Diablo is the father of both Imperius and Tyrael and Tryael must choose whether or not to join the dark side with Imperius.

Blizzard used to care about releasing Diablo III, then they all took an arrow in the knee...

Think what you will, the books still remain canon.

I disagree with that, but since my reasoning for that is based on the Sin War novels and you reject that as a basis for the story in D3, I guess all I can say is: who is Imperius?

In the past, Tyrael had the strongest vote over the Angiris Council. The comet maybe Tyrael's warning AND also Tyrael himself, cast out from the High Heavens by Imperius. With Tyrael gone, the Angiris Council's high judgment darkens, and the luminaries start to fail, as they wage war with the Burning Hells on the Sanctuary
Parts I agree with:
Tyrael's punishment for becoming too involved with the humans is to be cast out from the Angiris Council. With him gone, the vote is 3-2 in favor of destroying Sanctuary. Even if they spent 20 mortal years finding a replacement on the Council, 20 years is nothing to them. And now the vote is likely 4-2 in favor of destroying Sanctuary--or even more lopsided as Tyrael stands as an example that the evils of the world will just suck them in and lead them on a path of Chaos (Tyrael acting without the blessings of the Council is Chaotic Good at best).
"the Angiris Council's high judgment darkens, and the luminaries start to fail, as they wage war with the Burning Hells on the Sanctuary"
Parts I disagree with:
The meteor/comet (comet in spece, meteor as it falls) is Tyreal. I just do not buy it. A sign from Tyrael maybe. But I just will not subscribe to the theory that Tyrael goes all flashy in a ball of light and crashes into the cathedral with a bowl of frozen Cool Whip to save his cherished humans. Tyrael is not our buddy. He does not want to bring us whipped topping for our desserts. If anything, Tyrael holds a cocky belief that the free will of humans will show the legions of Burning Hells that Order is better than Chaos when the humans choose Order. I know. I get to be alone in my notion that Tyrael does not want to join a sewing circle with humans.
I just finished the Sin War books. If i recall, its was 2 for destruction, 2 against distruction, 1 abstain and then Tyrael's vote making it 6. (angels)
Even is Tyrael's kicked off the council, (while i dont believe being kicked off the council = kicked out of heaven) it could still be a deadlock 2 for/2 against 1 abstain.
Nor do i swallow Imperious being able to "banish" anyone. It would be the councils decision, which might have happened. But there is no reasoning behind this. Tyrael destroying the worldstone is/should be nothing to the council. He saved both the angels and humans by destroying it before Baal could corrupt it for his own power. (thinking along the lines of Inarius's link to the worldstone and how powerful was.

I don't know what you or Ralsu have read, but including Tyrael there are only five angels on the council. The vote was 3 in favor ( Tyrael, Auriel, Itherael), 1 against ( Imperius) and 1 abstained ( Malthael).

Do any of you really realize how pointless and idiotic it would be for Imperius if he tries to destroy humanity now? Mankind has done a pretty decent job of cleaning things up for the High Heavens, destroying five of the seven Evils for them. I mean, come on, at least patiently wait until the last two are dead before doing what you have to do...
Then again, without mankind, Diablo might not be able to use Leah or Cain or another mortal host to return from the Abyss, so there is that. If Imperius tries to destroy mankind, won't it just be three against one again? Won't the Auriel-Itherael-Tyrael opposition just negate anything he tries to do?
Here is my thoughts about Imperius and the story around him;
First i dont think Imperius is going to be an enemy in D3, im guessing more something like this. Im not going to go deep in why im saying this and that but heres my guess anyway.
Tyrael is going to be changed from the event of the Worldstone explosion, for some reason he is faling from the sky in the meteor we have seen and he is quite powerlless. Why 20 years after i dont know.
Imperius is angry about Tyrael's interferences in Sanctuary and his selfish choice to destroy the Worldstone wich
could explain the ; Imperius shall turn to wrath. Then Imperius decide to join the conflict directly realizing that he must do something now that tyrael is out of power. Im not saying he is going to be our big buddy like tyrael but more like acting alone to saveguard the high heavens.

This said, looking at this picture makes me think he is trying to stop something from entering the heavens doors. http://diablo.wikia....le:Imperius.jpg
Well, I think Tyrael destroyed the Worldstone to prevent humanity from succumbing to Hell's corruption, so it wasn't that selfish, and, according to this, Imperius is a boss for the final level in the game:
That doesn't necessarily mean he's a boss. Just that he's in the last level. I mean Cain's not a boss.
Maybe...but Imperius is no Deckard Cain, and I doubt he has changed so much in the years that he's been reduced to telling stories to mortals. I mean, if we don't fight him, what does he do when we meet him? And if "Valor turns to Wrath", there's only so many things that can happen when a group of warriors face a wrathful Archangel of Valor in his own realm. If only Imperius was less idiotic and actually tried fighting by humanity's side for a change...Diablo would have been killed so many times that Hell would have drowned in a sea of blood, not just rivers.
For what? You can't seriously think we're not going to fight Imperius? I mean, if you really believe that, that's fine, but...
Okay so this is some pretty spoilery spoilers, read at your own risk.
From what I have seen of datamined stuff the last quest/act involves defending Heaven from waves of demons. So it's not a bad guess that we help him defend the gates. The book of cain makes it pretty clear he defends heaven along with other angels.
What do we actually know about imperius? shit all.
But I doubt hes evil
Edit:
Official Blizzard Quote:
When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary To defend the mortal world against the rising powers of The Burning Hells – And even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.

This actually sounds like Inarius.
That actually sounds like Tyrael.
That's also a possiblity, but I will stick with Inarius for reasons ill keep to myself.
If the meteor really was tyral, that that would be extremely cool, however, we have scince seen from the beta that many evils are awoken from it arrival. Would an angels presence do this to the dead. In addition to that. The game is called diablo and as far as we have seen in the way of blizzard anouncments, we dont know how he is comming back. However I think somewhere at sometime blizzard has said that we will fight diablo in this game. (dont quote me on that,)
I wounder if it is possible that Diablo is perswaiding or possesing some of the angels on the counicl to start a war with sanctuary. Becuase as uptight as imperious is, i doubt he would just kick his brother out of heaven unless there was some demonic infulluence.
