Cain is really one of the two lesser evils (forgive me for not saying which one, I'm not super clear on which one has the better position in the civil way, but whichever one that is, it is Cain). Cain will tell the hero to go on a quest to kill the other lesser evil. After this is complete, Cain will vanish, and it will seem like the increasing invaders from Hell have taken him. Tyrael will take over as your quest giver, and will direct you to combat the invading forces at the front of the invasion point. As seen in the gameplay trailers, NPCs can be recruited to help. These will be mortals at first, but the further into Hell you go, they will be replaced by angels. There will be skirmishes with both demons and rogue angels, but the final boss battle will take place in t he depths of hell in some sort of throne room. Cain will be waiting there (think Phantom of the Oprah) in human form, and the hero will be ambushed by horadric magic. Battle ensues, and when Cain is almost dead he will do a transformation (much like Diablo's when you complete Act 3) and the second half will be against the lesser evil in demon form.

Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?
I read the lore on Cain, and I found it kind of strange how self-lothing Cain seems throughout the entire journal. Assuming that the journal was a personal one and not meant to be read by anyone, I would say it does not support my idea. But if it was meant to be read, then it could be a thought out piece of mis-information meant to conceal his demonic roots.
Again, I'm just playing the devil's advocate here because I think that a cinametic where Cain goes from a hunchbacked old man with a cane (no pun intended) to a badass demon would be intense!

Also, if you take the biblical story of Cain and Abel (I literally just read it to throw something into the mix) we notice that Cain is often referred to as the father of evil for being the first human to murder. Not saying that this is concrete evidence, but the whole Diablo universe loosely relates to modern religion.

I don't have much lore background, just what I remember from watching my brother beat D1 when I was seven, and my experiences beating D2 and LOD several times by myself. No books. So I'm not really making this "theory" based off of lore. It's more of my ideal "oh, that was unexpected" plot twist.
However, after reading what Raven Master posted, he seemed to be making some found points. Cain is just always in the right place at the right time without getting hurt in the process while we die 20 times AND WE'RE THE ONES WITH ARMOR AND SOWRDS AND MAGIC. He's just a frail old man. Just saying...

think about it. who has pushed the hero to do everything that has progressed the story? Cain. So then, who is responsible for the Worldstone's destruction? Cain. So in essence, the hero, the prime evils, and Tyrael are pawns to Cain.
My ideal story would have Tyrael be a big baddie in D3, and then Cain turns out to be the primest of evils in the expansion.
