Diablo III (2012 Video Game)

Jonathan Adams: Tyrael, Archangel of Justice

Quotes 

• Leah : [Leah helps lay her uncle, Deckard Cain, to rest outside Tristram; she places a book on his chest]  It was all just stories... my uncle saw what he wanted to see.

  Tyrael : Deckard sacrificed much to protect this world, but his work is not over.

  Leah : What would YOU know about sacrifice?

  Imperius : [In reply, Tyrael grasps her arm gently - showing her a vision of himself as an angel, before the Angiris Council]  Tyrael, the ancient law of the High Heavens strictly forbids us from interfering from the mortal world... yet YOU have done so! Brazenly!

  Tyrael : All I am guilty of, Imperius, is bringing Justice - while you hide, cowering, behind your throne!

  Imperius : SILENCE!

  [Imperius leaps from his platform, his spear appearing in his hand, as he grasps Tyrael and lifts him from the floor] 

  Imperius : You will now answer for your transgressions!

  Tyrael : [Tyrael and Imperius wrestle across the Council chamber, until Tyrael stands over Imperius, spear in hand]  You cannot judge me! 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!

  Leah : [Tyrael slams the speartip into the floor of the chamber, causing Leah - seeing the vision - to fall to her knees]  You CHOSE... to be one of us!

  Imperius : [Leah touches Tyrael's robe, seeing the rest of the vision - of Tyrael shedding his angelic status]  Sacrilege!

  Tyrael : [Tyrael is pulled through the Council chamber's floor, falling in the night sky like a meteor]  Thus, I fell, willingly... because humanity is the only hope for this world.

  Leah : [Leah rests a hand on Cain's forehead, and takes up his book]  I never believed. All your crazy tales... the work you never finished. I will finish it, Uncle. I will carry on for you.

• Tyrael : [opening cinematic]  Diablo was defeated. For a time, it seemed we would know peace. But it was not to be... for Diablo's essence lingers in the Black Soulstone. I cannot destroy the stone, nor allow its evil to remain in the Heavens. And so, it must be hidden... even from the angels. I pray that it will be enough.

  Tyrael : [Cut to the Tomb of Rakkis, where four hooded figures hold the Black Soulstone at the ends of their spears, until they place it within its receptacle]  You have done well, Horadrim. Your service here is finished. You should all...

  Tyrael : [the four Horadrim near the stone, and two more near the door, tense on hearing someone approach]  ... run.

  Tyrael : [the approaching figure enters the room - an angel in dark vestments, carrying a pair of sickle-like blades]  Malthael.

  Tyrael : [Malthael's hood tilts slightly to one side, before he decapitates the two Horadrim near the door, and unleashes a deathly mist. Tyrael creates a shield with his angelic sword and turns to the Horadrim behind him]  Go! Go! Find the Nephalem!

  Tyrael : [the Horadrim runs, while Tyrael watches in horror as one of the others has his soul taken by Malthael. Holding his sword out, it passes through the dark angel as if nothing. Malthael disarms him, lifts him up with one of his sickles, and draws out his soul essence with the other]  Brother... why?

  Tyrael : [Malthael examines the soul essence, then looks back at Tyrael... before casting him aside and approaching the Black Soulstone]  The Nephalem... *will* stop you.

  Malthael : [ominously]  No one can stop Death.
