For this one you need to dig a little deeper into the storyline.
Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred
Baal, the Lord of Destruction
Diablo, the Lord of Terror
These three are the prime evils, brothers and leaders of hell, they rule the lesser of the Great Evils with an iron fist. Those lesser evils are;
Azmodan, the Lord of Sin
Duriel, the Lord of Pain
Andariel, the Maiden of Anguish
Belial, the Lord of lies
There is a lot of history, basicly heaven and hell had been fighting since the start of time. A total and absolute dead lock had came around, neither power able to gain control (In essence a victory for light, because they strived for balance while the evil struggled for choas). With the coming of the mortals the universe stood still, light and dark both looked apon the new beings with anticipation, wondering which side they would join, and thus, allow to gain the upper hand. To the surprize of both sides, humans had the ability to choose their alignment. The three prime evils all knew instantly the humans were the break of the tie. Quick to learn humans were much easier and faster bent with pain then pleasure, the brothers terrorised and manipulated the humans. Light defended the helpless mortals and thus the battle (although hidden) took to the mortal realm. The lesser evils, still sqwabbling over the remains of power the brothers didn't snatch up started to question the tactics of their superiors. Convincing all hell that the brothers were weak and stupid, the legions of hell sided with the lesser evils and stood up to Diablo, Baal and Mephisto. Outraged at this trechery, the brothers fought a hopeless battle against their armys. With devistating losses to hells armys (The brothers defeated one third of all the forces of hell) the brothers collapsed, struck down to the mortal realm by the lesser evils.
(I should note here the lesser evils is really only Belial and Azmodan, Andarial and Duriel followed the brothers)
Long story short, the spirits of the brothers terrorised tristram and then the world, however all were struck down once again...
Who can tell me which of the great evils are left?
Belial, lord of lies and Azmodan, lord of sin...
Seems like the obvious sequel (If you knew this infomation).
Feedback anybody?
Sorry for double posting, but where did you get this information? I'd like to read more about the story behind Diablo.
I'm not very fond of the Cain idea, but good concept. I just got done playing it again, and I talked to Deckard Cain about the 7 Tombs (in Lut Golein) and he said Tyrael did something and no one found out why, or something like that. I'm beginning to think that he will be the main villain. Maybe the worldstone wasn't corrupted when he said he had to destroy it because it was.
That's a good one, but it is an expansion pack. We're talking about a whole new game. But I understand your point of view, and I am leaning to your side more than the other. You are right about the Legend of Zelda games, there are a couple that don't mention Zelda (or at least I think) in them.

Diablo: Main boss is Diablo
Diablo Hellfire: Main boss is......I forget
Diablo II: Main boss is Diablo
Diablo II Lord of Destruction: Main boss is Baal
Maybe that pattern might continue on with Diablo 3?
Maybe in the next Diablo it has something to do with that, but I have no clue what that means. Anyone got any ideas?
