I can see what you are saying, but I can also see my point as well. The reason they(nephalem) are so foul to him is because of the abomination of Inarius and the others: that high angels bread with lowly demons.
But either way I don't think you can just rule out Imperius at least partially seeking aid from the evils just to get Sanctuary destroyed.
You never know. I don't think it'd really fit him, but if they elaborate on it then I guess.
[Talking to Tyrael]
WELL, OLD FRIEND? asked Imperius. HOW WILL YOU CHOOSE, YOU WHO HAVE SEEN THEM AT THEIR MOST FOUL? WILL YOU VOTE WITH ME AND PUT AN END TO THIS MOST HEINOUS OF SPAWNING GROUNDS?
I SAY THAT THE RENEGADE MUST BE FOREVER IMPRISONED AND HIS NEST OF DEMON-SPAWN ERADICATED!
Take that as you will but it seems to me he hates demon spawn because they're partly demon. If it was just angels he wouldn't have a problem.
I believe the real reason he hates Sanctuary (if you look at his quotes from the book) was that he thinks of humans as abominations since they were angel/demon mix. He despises what Inarius did and wants to destroy every last bit of it. I think it has less to do with the Great Conflict than we think....for Imperius' part at least. I believe he wants it destroyed out of pure hatred for everything Sanctuary is, and I wouldn't rule it out that he would team up with evil just to get his agenda accomplished.
I like what ambiguity there is, personally. There's no use being a geek if you can't obsessively analyse your favourite fictions.
True but I think the most possible scenarios given what we know have been played out, they should release a tiny bit more to give us more room to speculate.
Once again, though, it comes back to the destruction of the Worldstone. Not only was the Worldstone weakening humans generation by generation, it was also hiding/protecting Sanctuary from Heaven and Hell. As I understand it, there is supposedly nothing now stopping Angels and Demons from coming and going as they please.
Well I agree on the hiding Sanctuary part but that has been over for a long time now.
Sanctuary hasn't been hidden for hundreds of years after the Sin War. Not to say that makes demons coming and going easy.
As for the weaking the Nephalem part, it weakened the Nephalem, I just assumed the humans were a weak offspring of the Nephalem. The Nephalem was a specific group of entities.
Well soon, in angle time i wold think, the power within the humans will comeout, now that the soulstone is destroyed. And that power is more pwerful then the demons and angles so really what is stopping them from going to heaven.
The fact I've never seen a portal to Heaven?
Town portals are one thing because I always assumed they were made with coordinates of where they are going. Creating a portal to heaven would mean you would have to have been there before I think or else you're kind of creating a portal to a almost infinite possibility of places.
That's just my opinion though, I read too much into things.
Looks like we are going to kick some Imperius butt in Diablo III! Great find, this fits very, very well! I bet we will have to help Tyrael stop Imperius!
Possibly something like that.
Wouldn't it be tragic if somehow Tyrael ended up dying and not Cain like everyone is thinking?
(wait can angels even die...? Inarius was imprisoned forever)
He could feel threatend by the humans power? THough that would happen in the future, but he know's it's going to happen. I just wish we knew a little more or blizzard could point us in the right direction>_>
I doubt he feels threatened by the humans power, they are becoming increasingly weaker I believe as they breed out their magic roots.
Also how could a human effect a entity that normally stays in Heaven.
him being allied with demons is kinda of working backwords, he's working with his worst enemy...to destroy something made by and realated to his worst enemy, then again the protect themselves and the balance of power both might work together to destroy the humans.
Yeah I'm not 100% on how to take this yet.
He despises demons but he allowed the council to make a deal with Mephisto, so he can't despise them that much. Even if Mephisto was imprisoning Inarius the way he wanted...
That to me kind of prooves what he wants is greater than his hate for demons to an extent. Where he draws the line, I have no clue.
Seeing as this is on the front page now, I thought I would sticky it and tag it
And I agree with Daemaro. Imperious would never align himself with any sort of evil. They are digusting. They are foul. They are exactly why he wants Sanctuary destroyed, because every single human is tainted with demonic ancestry.
AWESOME! Thanks!
I'll be pretty disappointed if he's allied with the demons, though the council did make a deal with Mephisto before, so possibly he has some understanding with them but I don't know, kind of stretching it.
1. Imperius was behind the return of Diablo to the mortal plane, and his little quest to reuinte with his brothers.
I agree with almost everything except this. The reason he hates Sanctuary is because it has the kindred of demon on it. Why would he align himself with demons much worse to get rid of demon kindred in Sanctuary.

Yeah, that was my first impression too. It seemed like it had to be Diablo, but more and more it seems like it might be some other demon.
It's hard for me to picture Imperius siding with the demons though, for any reason. I mean that's the reason he hates Sanctuary so much isn't it? It's the kindred of demons.
He'd REALLY be digging at the bottom of the barrel. If he IS siding with demons it has to be something he just decided because his vision of right and wrong has just become so skewed.
Well, since we are on the topic of the lighted emblem on the chest of the angel, assumed Imperius, has anyone compared the similarity to the lighted emblem on the head of the Demon, assumed Diablo, in the Cinematic Trailer?
Looks quite similar to me.
I always assumed the mark on the demons head was a soulstone scar, but this is possible even if it's kind of grasping.

I think that's what I said. :confused:
Sanctuary is the spawn of demons.

Hmm yeah it's uncertain right now, I wish they'd release some more info.

and Inarius used the worldstone to weaken them not humans in general.

If humans are going to get stronger now that's kind of weird.

It's not FAN art... it's concept art. Meaning the development team made it in purpose of portraying part of the game.
