The Council presides over the Black Soulstone Īs new light dawned on Heaven, Tyrael retook his place among his brethren, though this time, standing as Wisdom. Imperius was not so eager to side with the "abominations" he'd condemned 3,000 years ago, but it became a moot point as he was incapacitated and the Nephalem defeated the Lord of Terror regardless. Thanks to Tyrael and the Nephalem, however, Auriel and Itherael were rescued and the tide turned in Heaven's favour. Auriel and Itherael were captured while Imperius was left to fight a losing battle. Besting Imperius outside the Diamond Gates and shattering them, he led his forces into the High Heavens.
However, Diablo had made plans as far back as the Dark Exile and through the Black Soulstone and Leah, became the Prime Evil, with all the evils of Hell merged into one being. Ultimately, Tyrael forsook his immortality, becoming mortal and descending to the world to guide the Nephalem against the forces threatening their world. Tyrael and Imperius came to blows over the issue. Tyrael believed that only by allying with humanity could Heaven survive Hell's onslaught, but instead, the Council put him on trial, believing that his destruction of the Worldstone had endangered Creation.
I am justice itself! We were meant for more than this! To protect the innocent! But if our precious laws bind you all to inaction.then I will no longer stand as your brother."īy 1285, the remaining lords of Hell were threatening Sanctuary. During this period, the Council eventually relented to the pleas of Urzael to let him take leave to find his master. In light of his absence, Imperius took over leadership of the Council, where division continued to exist between him and Tyrael. After the destruction of the Worldstone, he simply vanished. It is said his mood darkened after the creation of Sanctuary. Auriel continued to act as a bridge between the two angels but Malthael was another story. Furthermore, Tyrael would continue to act on his own, aiding humanity despite the edicts of the Council. The ceasefire did not sit well with Imperius-robbed of an enemy to fight, he became something of a "legalistic tyrant." That Tyrael had not sided with him at the conclusion of the Sin War was another thorn in his side. The events of the Sin War had ensured that the Great Conflict would take on a new paradigm, one that boded ill for the Angiris Council as much as the Prime Evils. Sanctuary and its people would be left to choose between light or dark, and after a pact with Mephisto, both Heaven and Hell agreed to respect its neutrality. Tyrael, who had been expected to side with Imperius and thus doom Sanctuary to destruction (a tie would mean the original edict would be carried out), sided with humanity, moved by Uldyssian's sacrifice. Auriel and Itherael voted for the world's continued existence. It was the Council's initial edict that the world and its people be destroyed, viewed as "abominations." However, Uldyssian's sacrifice gave the Council pause and it convened to discuss the fate of the world. The Angiris Council became aware of the existence of Sanctuary and its nephalem denizens, both world and beings the product of unions between angels and demons. The Council decides the fate of Sanctuary On his final breath, Diablo mocked the Angiris Council's so-called unity after being slain. However, the Council was not without dissonance, a case in point when Imperius slew Diablo on an impulsive decision, despite the suggestions of Tyrael and Auriel that it would serve their cause better if the demon was taken prisoner instead. Initially, the Council was led by Malthael. When united, the Council could be unstoppable. "Led by the Angiris Council, their unity made them an indomitable force for light and rightousness."Īs the Great Evils were of the great dragon Tathamet, the Angiris Council was of the great titan Anu, and both sets of leaders led their forces in the Great Conflict, and both sets of leaders led their forces on the battlefield. Corresponding domain was the Pools of Wisdom.
Once carried Chalad'ar, the Chalice of Wisdom. Eventually returned to Sanctuary at the head of the Reapers, having since become the Angel of Death. After its destruction, he abandoned the High Heavens and supposedly wandered the halls of Pandemonium, seeking answers to the unknowable mysteries of life and death. Malthael's persona darkened after the disappearance of the Worldstone. Was once a noble being said to cherish all life.
