The other theory is that the Dark Waderer is Baal from Act V. Through the timeline of cinematic events, Baal's journey supports the visuals of the Dark Wanderer. It also would explain why they didn't name the character because then they would be giving up information for the expansion pack.
...Who thinks this? The cinematics in D2 explicitly say that Baal's soul and soulstone were locked within Tal Rasha, and the Dark Wanderer travels to free him. The scene with Mephisto, Tal Rasha, and the Dark Wanderer opening the gate to hell actually show the Dark Wanderer transform into Diablo.
I never played D1 was it the barbarian that became the dark wanderer? Cause i always thought the dark wanderer was supposed to represented by whoever you beat the game out of the 3 characters in D1. I played zonz all the time so i always told myself my zon was the descendant of the rogue that killed diablo and that diablo made her really ugly in the D2 cinematics... hey imagination is part of my gaming experience.
The Warrior went insane, drove Diablo's soulstone into his forehead, and became the Dark Wanderer (presumably after he fathered Leah).
The Rogue became a high-standing member of Kashya's rogues, but fell in the attack on Tristram and was resurrected by Andariel and became Blood Raven.
The Sorcerer I'm less knowledgeable about, but apparently he turns up as the The Summoner, the guy who is residing in the Arcane Sanctuary.

Grey DeLisle is the voice of the female wizard, you might know her as Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
