Thanks for not making a new thread! This thread is indeed active!
The only problem is that the Prime Evil's spirits have apparently been sent back to the black abyss, and so are supposedly no longer in their soulstones? I honestly have no idea if this could work, they haven't explained it to us properly, so who knows what it will turn out to be! Its just exciting thinking about the possibilities! But you're right, Inarius would be a great option to use as a host body for something, assuming he's not all weak and weary from being tortured, lol! Your exclamation marks are addictive!
Two horns on the shoulder heads, good observation, I hadn't picked it before.
For some reason - probably because his head is kind of flat and long - I keep imagining Diablo as a kind of short fat thing, possibly like a turtle or an ankylosaur.
I still don't agree sorry. I think Dauroth is right. Let me show you what it looks like to me:
See. It looks like each shoulder head only has one horn. The tentacles are coming from the back somewhere. You can see the movements of the base of the tentacles in the video. It looks like the tentacles aren't very long and are rooted locally - not all the way from the other side of its body like you are suggesting.
I'm not saying that the shoulder heads don't represent Baal and Mephisto, but I am saying that there is no physical difference between them.
Thats pretty far fetched, Number1SuperGuy. The design of both shoulder heads look the same to me, not one with tentacles and the other with horns. Assuming that a tentacle on one side of the head is actually rooted in the other side is assuming a bit too much. Especially considering the 'tentacles' and the horns look exactly the same.

"Overthrown" depicts a mighty barbarian atop the conquered Diablo, shouting towards the High Heavens in vicious triumph.
Well, from our one known point of view, Belial is the Lord of Hell, therefore, I am right to assume off of the information currently given to me, that Belial is indeed (sigh) the Lord of Hell.
The information provided in the DI manual out-does a biased comment. While it is possible that Belial has indeed defeated Azmodan, Xazax does not specifically state it. We will find out what Azmodan and Belial are up to soon enough anyway.
The Dark Exile
"Seven is the number of the Powers of Hell, and Seven is the number of the Great Evils."
Duriel, the Lord of Pain
Andariel, the Maiden of Anguish
Belial, the Lord of Lies
Azmodan, the Lord of Sin
These are the true names of the lesser of the Great Evils. For ages uncounted each have ruled over their own domains within the Burning Hells, seeking absolute dominion over their infernal brethren. As the Lesser Four continuously vied for the control of those forces that dwelled within their realms, the Greater Three held absolute power over the whole of Hell. The Lesser Four used dark and evil measures in their quest for power, and herein begins the legend of the Dark Exile.
Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred
Baal, the Lord of Destruction
Diablo, the Lord of Terror
These are the Prime Evils of Hell that wielded their power as a dark, sovereign triumvirate. The Three Brothers ruled over the Lesser Four by brutal force and malicious cunning. Being the eldest and strongest of the Evils, the Three Brothers were responsible for countless victories against the armies of the Light. Although they never held sway over the High Heavens for long, the Three were justly feared by enemies and subject alike.
With the ascension of Man and the subsequent standstill of the Great Conflict, the Three Brothers began to devote their energies to the perversion of mortal souls. The Three realized that Man was the key to victory in the war against Heaven, and thus altered their rigid agendum that they propagated since the Beginning. This change caused many of the Lesser Evils to question the authority of the Three, and so brought about a great rift between the Prime Evils and their servitors.
In their ignorance, the Lesser Evils began to believe that the Three were afraid to continue the war with Heaven. Frustrated by the cessation of the war, Azmodan and Belial saw the situation as their chance to overthrow the Prime Evils and take control of Hell for themselves. The two demon lords made a pact with their minor brethren, assuring them that the wretched plague of humanity would not deter the ultimate victory of the sons of Hell. Azmodan and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate, achieve victory in the Sin War and ultimately ride the bloody crest of the Great Conflict straight into the very arms of Armageddon. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of Hell went to war against the Three Brothers...
The Brothers fought with all the savagery of the Underworld, and to their credit, annihilated a third of Hell's treacherous legions. In the end, however, they were overcome by the Horned Death led by the traitors Azmodan and Belial. The Prime Evils, weakened and bodiless, were banished to the mortal realm where Azmodan hoped that they would remain trapped forever. Azmodan believed that with the Three set loose upon humanity, the Angels would be forced to turn their focus upon the mortal plane - thus leaving the Gates of Heaven abandoned and defenseless. Those few demons who still pledged allegiance to the Three Brothers fled the wrath of Azmodan and Belial, escaping to the realm of Man to seek out their lost Masters.
As the warfires died out upon the battlefields of Hell, Azmodan and Belial began to argue over which of them held the higher authority. The pact that they had made quickly fell to ashes as the two demon lords took up arms against each other. The legions of Hell that remained were polarized behind either warlord, launching themselves into a bloody civil war that has lasted to this day...
No, neither of Belial or Azmodan are the 'Lord of Hell'. Belial is the Lord of Lies, Azmodan is the Lord of Sin. They are both equally powerful, fighting over leadership of Hell but neither will ever get it.
It doesn't really look like a gash though. I think it looks more like decoration.
This is what a real gash looks like:
Or maybe the gash has just healed somewhat? Or maybe its a combination of decoration and healing, because that demon's face has nice intricate designs on it as well as being a ferocious skull.
You know, that demon that we assume is Diablo might actually be Belial or Azmodan.
A while ago I suggested on these forums that Belial should have two (or more) heads, because he is the Lord of Lies. I said that each head should say something different, so you never know which head is lying and which isn't.
This demon seems to have three heads (or at least three mouths), so it might be Belial.
Then again, it could just be an upgraded version of Diablo, as is assumed.
Or, the three heads could be a combination of the Three Prime Evils, as someone else theorised a while ago.
But nah, I actually like the artwork for the demon. Somehow, this actually instilled fear into me, while his other versions haven't.

Its representative of the Wanderer, but still the Wanderer.
