The amusing articles from Project XII just keep on coming on his blog over at Hellforge. This time, he's written an article entitled the "Top Ten Biggest Douchebags", with regards to the top ten biggest jerks in the Diablo setting.
Every story has its bad guys. They’re often a one dimensional, single minded villain that wants something like money, or power, or world destruction. An antagonist who everyone hates and whose defeat drives the plot. In the case of the Diablo games, it’s Diablo himself.
And while Big Red is nasty in appearance and intent, he’s not much for conversation. In fact, during the series so far he’s had no more then three lines of dialogue! Some might not even count the speech of the Dark Wanderer as Diablo, in that case, two!
We love our bad guys, but occasionally we like them to be a little less… “Grrr I’m bad, kill me”.
That’s where the Douchebags come in (Note: not an official authoring term). Stories often need side characters to give one-dimensional-bad-guy some support. Sometimes they’re working for him as ultra-skilled or ultra-humorous body guards. Sometimes they’re protagonists that can never get things right. More often then not they’re double-undercover-secret-triple-serial-side swappers, who started off good but turned bad on the road to revenge (and will probably come good again in the end).
Interesting read ,but at Arch-Bishop Lazarus ,it shows an image of The Summoner.

Great article.
When I started to read some jerks poped up for me (before looking the list) like: Gheed (read it Greed), Nihlathak, Zhar the Mad.
I totally agree with the list (specially Kaelan, Natalya, Wirt and Hadriel)

Cause she was an exp char,it happens too with the druid iirc from Qual-Kehk.
Have to agree with Izual being the ultimo douche because even despite Tyrael asking us to save his soul by killing the form that he had taken...Izual still seemed quite smug with having betrayed Tyrael and helping the Prime Evils find a loophole back onto Sanctuary- an act that basically set this whole disco story into motion.
