“I am a Vizjerei,” Sarnakyle stated. “One of the ‘Spirit Clan.’ I have summoned demons, and I have also fought them. I’ve seen these tactics used before by Bartuc, the Warlord of Blood.”
“Could Bartuc be behind this?” Siggard asked.
“I sincerely hope not,” Sarnakyle said. “I helped to kill him.”
In the first book, Bartucs armor, fueled partly by the intense last emotions of its bearer and partly by his soul, came to life.
This was not Bartuc however as his skeletal remains still lay where the armor and them had been placed.
In the first Diablo, the Bartuc you encounter is probably also not the real Bartuc but a materialization of him created by his memories that are locked inside the Steel Tome.

- Everything you ever wanted to know about the lore of Diablo and never knew where to look (In construction).
Besides that they they both are called Bartuc, there is no indication what so ever that “Bartuc the Bloody” is the same as “Bartuc the warlord of blood”
Even when simply referring to Bartuc in the first book as Bloody, it is never without the title of Warlord.
The Bartuc we have in act five is of the high council.
The Bartuc we have in the first Diablo is suppose to be the Warlord of Blood but just like in the first book, it is possible that it is hes spirit that lays inside the steel tomb that had materialized into flesh, bone and armor.

A few things came to mind while following this thread, but I'll try to keep it to the point.
First of all, a complete version of the manual of the first Diablo can be found either in the first Diablo or one of the discs of the second as a PDF file, besides this story here it contains other useful pieces of information, mostly in the skills, bestiary and items sections.
Secondly, no, this is not the same Bartuc.
The War Lord of Blood is dead, immortality just means you wont die of old age, it doesn't grantee that you wont get beheaded in the heat of battle (which is what happened).
Eventually the spirit of Bartuc found its rest, to a cretin degree, just before the Wanderer and Marius arrive to Lut Gholein
Bartuc's story has its own contradictions but what we have in act five is not the War Lord of Blood, not even when he is called “The Bloody”.
And lastly, I'm reading the last book now, The Sin War Birthright, and I just cant put in words how much it has shaken so many things about the world of Diablo that I use to take for granted.
The text we have in the manuals are as certified as they can get, written by historians both during and after the Sin War, but considering that they are nothing but second testimony, they can't get sufficiently accurate.
Birthright is written form the few point of demons, angels and those who are in between, it is Sanctuary's most significant text of lore, it has every thing to do with the main story and it IS a must for every one who considers himself to know anything about the lore of Diablo.
