Azmodan as a physical being is an incarnate of all seven of the deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, price, lust, envy, and gluttony. He also controls powerful demons who personify each of those sins, two of whom will be seen in the initial version of Diablo III.
One of these has long been known, Gluttony Incarnate, the Thousand Pounder. A second was revealed during a BlizzCon 2011 panel as Cydaea, the Maiden of Lust. (Formerly known as the Mistress of Pain.
Is it possible that, as "Valor shall turn to Wrath", and Wrath is one of the Seven Sins, Azmodan is the one responsible for the corruption of Imperius? I mean, we already know Lust and Gluttony...why not the other five as well?
We do face off against some of his lieutenants, so I can see Imperius falling to Asmodan's power in some subtle, indirect way. It would be in such a way that Imperius falls right into Asmodan's hands without realizing it.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Do you think the demonic corruption of the Crystal Arch might have something to do with it?
@OP: I voted for maybe, because we don't kno the game's plot (yet!). But I would HATE to see Imperius corrupted. His an archangel... A really zealous one, but thats the nature of the angels after all. His the perfect excuse to shed angelic blood in D3. I would hate to see that gone because Imperius turns into a fallen angel and align himself with demons. Also, I kinda like Imperious as villain to be (he is one of the few things I like in the sin war). He would dispoint me if he gets corrupted, i expect much more of him (like stand to his idea no matter the consequencies).
@Above: The problem is that we don't know who the f*** is Despair. People think it's Diablo since Terror and Despair are kinda related. Also blizzard would never allows a prophecy "Hope shall be swallowed by Terror" because it would totally spoil the game.
Another point is the fact that the prophecy don't mention Diablo in any other way... Since the prophecy more or less tells what's D3 story (at least part of it) will be like and we have tons of reasons to believe He is in the game... The only thing that makes sense is him eating the poor she-angel and getting that female body.

In my personal opinion it is however WAY more possible that Auriel will turn into Despair with the phrase "Hope shall be swallowed by Despair"

Its basically saying she will lose her hope.

It does if she is the one who turns into Despair.
The corrupted version of Hope would be Despair.
