Well after looking through that "April Fool's" joke character, I was starting to wonder whether or not this new character can be a little preview for a new character, as it was a while since the last announcement was made. So, I called my good friend Richard Morse, my brother's girlfriend's dad, who's friend works as a programmer at Blizzard. His e-mail was this:
Hi, Michael.
I got your last night so I couldn't really respond to you until now.
Yes, you are right. Working here at Blizzard really got me some info for the next character, even though I am not allowed to tell you it or I would lose my job. But what I can tell you that it will do with the Archivist, as he will deal with magic.
Sorry for short reply, but I really have to get going. Call me tommorow night.
Rich.
So with this, contacted my brother's girlfriend's dad, who's name is Phil, and asked him about what he said, since he is a huge Blizzard fan.
"Well, Rich told me about a character that kind of has to do with the necromancer, but in a more religious kind of way."
As you see, it resembles the kind of "evil" priest look so I'm really excited. I'll keep you guys posted on this and I'll definitely wish you all a happy April Fools. (Lol.)

I hate to break it to you, those are from another game: Guild Wars. I have proof of this. The female is a concept art for Guild Wars, the male is God of the Underworld - Grenth. Here ya are: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Grenth
Any leak of Blizzard Entertainment in-the-works projects would DEFIANTLY go against everything they do, and would most certainly get in quite a bit of trouble for it. It would be best to not believe what anyone says or gives you, unless it's from someone like Bashiok.
EDIT: Someone wouldn't do this unless it was...
AN APRIL'S FOOL JOKE!
" and I'll definitely wish you all a happy April Fools."

That April Fool's got squelched too easily. Nice try, though
I know. It's a joke. It's not real. Lol. I wanted to do a nice "APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!! AHHAHAHAHAHAH!" at the end but I wanted it to be thrown in like a conversation.
Oh Maggie, remember last year's April Fools? Atrumentis's one was really good. or at least i think it was Atru-san. He said he had recieved an email from blizzard saying that they wanted him to work for them as a concept artist or something. Of course EVERYONE believed him because he was never a lieing type of guy

Wasn't that Jetrall which said that? I think he was an admin at the time so everyone was like "OMG! must be real!"

And he gave me a concept art that Rich made:

Lol why would I say "I wish you all a good April Fools" at the end?
No, actually. I didn't see it when I originally read it because you edited it in later.
This was probably my favorite part though:
Reminds me of how everyone for years said they had secret inside info from a vague relative

Lol. No I edited the "(Lol)" part in the end.

And here comes the new guy owning all of the previous pranks so far.
