Binkles the frog is a troubled fellow. Originally, he was the son of Diablo and would often enjoy long strolls of terror in the park as father son bonding time. His real name was Durance and he was rather close to his father. One day on one of those strolls a typical hero type decided to trick Diablo and take his beloved son from him. This hero's name was Tyrael, who at the time was about 17 years of age. So, Tyrael disguised himself as a carnival man who sold all sorts of knickknacks and knew ahead of time which one would be chosen. Diablo and Durance noticed the carnival and Diablo wished to continue, however, Durance was intrigued and begged his father to go into the carnival. Upon entrance Tyrael stated that it was father son day at the carnival and they would be allowed admittance and anything their hearts desired for free. Diablo, heart-warmed by this offer took his son inside and did everything imaginable there. Before they took their leave, Tyrael implored them to have a look at his knickknacks. One in particular stood out above all the rest. It was a curious object in the shape of a marionette with glowing red eyes. Drawn in by the possessive powers of the marionette imbued by Tyrael's magic, Durance chose it for his own. Diablo and Durance thanked Tyrael for his hospitality and wished him a long and healthy life. Upon arriving at Diablo's humble abode, Durance went straight to his room to play with his newly acquired toy. He imagined he was away in some far off land exploring the world on his own. Everything seemed different now, there were places to go and things to see. Things, that he never dreamed of being able to comprehend holed up with his father. Then, he felt that he understood the marionette, that they had a sort of unspoken connection. It was upon the realization of that connection that the marionette spoke to the boy. He said, "Durance, you have now realized what lies ahead of you young traveler. However, it seems that you are limited under the rule of your father. Listen to what I have to say, I can allow you to see things you otherwise would never have known existed. Through me, I can allow you to see and roam the world with all its delights and delicacies for your own. If you so desire for these things, all you have to do is say so, and they are yours." Durance, after a long train of thought decided he would take the marionette up on his offer, and see the world. As soon as he said the words, "I desire these things" there was a whirl of light and voices speaking of the horrors that were to come. They told him of how his father would walk the earth and take a reign of terror upon the loss of his son. Diablo, through the pain of losing his only child, would swear revenge on Tyrael and the rest of the world's inhabitants. After the lights disappeared, Durance found himself in a far off land with limited mobility and sight. It was almost as if everything seemed much larger than it had before. Then he began to remember the words of the marionette and wondered if this was his opportunity to see the world. He hopped from place to place delighting in all that he saw, but alas, he could not fully enjoy it for the marionette had cursed him to roam the world as a frog. Durance after a few years met his father and tried to explain himself, however, all Diablo heard was *ribbit* *ribbit* *ribbit*. Fortunately, Diablo felt a sort of connection with him, almost an inspiration. Thus, he named the frog Binkle—The energy created (a zizz) when you really connect with someone, or something that inspires you (even yourself). Henceforth, he became known as Binkles the frog whom Diablo favored though he did not know why. There was so much unspoken pain that Durance could never communicate to his father, though he was with him, he could not understand him. Thus, one night in a rush of agony Durance fled into the night whereupon people wondered of his origin. Durance wished to tell them, but unfortunately the only thing that they could know about him was that Diablo named him Binkles the frog. Upon the loss of his inspiration Diablo renewed his vow for vengeance against Tyrael and unleashed Hell across the world. To this day, Binkles the frog roams the earth searching for the man who gave him the marionette. The man who damned him to a life without companionship, this man, is Tyrael.
