Subject: A tale of EVIL (Part 1)

My name is Judicator the Nih the Dark. And I shall now tell you a story of pure EVIL! The first thing you may have noticed about me is my pale, corpse-like appearance. This can be explained. You see, I'm no ordinary human... I am EVIL incarnate. I am the physical manifestation of Judicator the Nih the Pure's dark side. As a part of his cleansing process, he cast out his dark side into the crypt in the burial grounds a few hours from Tristram. As a bodiless spirit, I wandered through the lands looking for somebody to posess...but alas, I didn't find anybody... I wandered to the catacombs benearth Tristram, when I found Diablo - he himself promised me many great things if I joined his forces. So I accepted - and the first thing he got me a new body - he taught me the arts of raising the dead and creatures from EVIL ground... so with his instruction, I raised a body from the ground and infused myself in it. I was then a living creature.

I was known throughout the lands as "The Slaughterer" as no one knew my true identity - I was feared throughout the land as I rode a black horse, raiding villages, burning them to the ground and slaughtering the inhabitants with no mercy in the most torturous ways imaginable. After that, I used the instruction that Diablo gave me to raise skeletons and zombies from the corpses to join Diablo's forces, and curse the land so all who entered it would fall dead and serve Diablo eternally.

But soon, Diablo got worried - I had gotten strong, and he thought I would betray him. So when I reported for duty once, he fried me with a powerful electric bolt and confined me in the prisons of Hell for years. I tried to get out once by putting a curse on the guard, but then Diablo was plain and simple - he stabbed me with a sword and threw me in the mausoleum near the burial grounds.

But of course, my spirit was confined to this land forever, and not even Diablo could change that, so I remained in the body. When I heard of Diablo's demise, I reanimated the body and tried to find my way around. When I got out, I found out that Diablo was indeed alive and roaming around the land, and he had his cronie Andariel raise a rogue leader called Blood Raven to guard the burial grounds. I had no choice but to remain in the mausoleum. So I went deeper and deeper inside, sometimes uncovering scrolls and tomes about the arts of Necromancy.

I went so deep into the mausoleum, it was pitch black - you could not see anything at all. I still used my EVIL instincts to find my way around. Then, I found my mentor -Murray. Murray the Talking Skull. He had planned to conquer the world, but when he got separated from his body, he was thrown into the deepest parts of the mausoleum. I was the first to see him since.

Murray taught me all I needed to take revenge on Diablo and his minions. He also added to the advice found on the scrolls and in the week I had spent down there, I had learned all I needed to get started. I was ready to take on Blood Raven, at least.... but when I resurfaced, she was gone! Apparently, Blood Raven was defeated by two very determined heroes - Achilles the Roman and Tashi the exiled battlemage. I thought "Surely these two can help me take revenge on Diablo!" so I headed to the Rogue Encampment not far from the burial grounds. I headed there to wait for them - I was early, but I met "Faucetta," an amazon who had joined the two in the quest. We decided to warm up by hunting creatures in the Blood Moor and the Den of Evil. I clearly expressed my EVIL nature to Faucetta, and to the noble Achilles when he joined us, but they didn't seem to mind. The first thing they noticed was my unhuman appearance, which is thanks to all those long nights in the mausoleum. I guess all that mattered was that I was fighting Diablo. We cleared the Den of Evil and got to the burial grounds, when Faucetta turned into a statue, and Achilles had to rescue Cain from the burning ruins of Tristram. I took advantage to re-visit my mentor, Murray the Talking Skull, in the mausoleum. I had to fight my way through, however, as Diablo's minions had crossed the border and actually ventured into the mausoleum! As I finished them off, Achilles returned, but by then, I had already disappeared into the darkness...

(This fascinating story of non-stop EVIL will continue after the next game)
