His final act in Diablo II was destroying the Worldstone that had been corrupted by Baal. He also paves the way to defeating Baal by opening the portal to Harrogath. He is unable to help the player because he was severely weakened by Baal who damaged the forces that bound his essence to. The player character frees Tyrael and eventually travels to the Pandemonium Fortress where he gives the player the quests to destroy Izual and finally defeat Diablo. He was ensnared by Baal's tentacles and bound to the Binding Stone in Tal Rasha's Chamber. He failed because of Marius removing Baal's Soulstone from Tal Rasha's chest. He even fought in hand-to-hand combat with the Dark Wanderer to stop the release of Baal. When Diablo was freed again, he chose to aid in his capture more overtly. He was the driving force behind the creation of the Soulstones, and he helped to capture Baal within Tal Rasha. Role in Diablo II The Angel of JusticeĪfter the Dark Exile, Tyrael was the one responsible for creating the Horadrim in order to protect Sanctuary from the Prime Evils. (In fact, it was his vote that saved Sanctuary from certain destruction.) His repeated critical intervention (usually at the cost of disobeying Heavenly edicts) in Sanctuary's affairs have made the Horadrim hold him in high esteem as the World's saviour. When the vote was to be given to decide the fate of Sanctuary, he was among those who felt sympathetic towards the humans. However, Tyrael soon realises that humanity is capable of sorrow and compassion when he witnesses Uldyssian's sacrifice to save his loved ones and the entirety of Sanctuary. He considered humans to be an abomination as they were the result of interbreeding between Angels and Demons.

When Sanctuary was discovered by the Angiris Council, Tyrael was given the responsibility of leading the Heavenly Hosts in obliterating Sanctuary.
