==Background== {{Diablo-section}} '''Deckard Cain''', or Cain the Elder, is a returning NPC from previous [[Diablo (franchise)|Diablo]] games. He narrated the reveal trailer for the [[Eternal Conflict]] event, and provided voiceovers in regard to [[treasure goblin]]s at the start of matches held during said event. Cain is the last surviving member of the original Horadrim, an ancient order of mages charged with trapping the Prime Evils within Soulstones and guarding them thereafter; his ancestor, Jered Cain, had led the party that pursued and captured [[Diablo]]. Cain acts as adviser and guide, accompanying the player's character through each act of the games and providing a great deal of the lore to be found in-game. Cain remains in Tristram for the entirety of the first game, standing next to the fountain in the middle of town, where he provides his wisdom and identifies items for a small fee. In Diablo II, he is rescued by the player character from a gibbet next to that fountain, and travels with the player throughout; he continues to identify items for the player. In Diablo III, he is rescued from the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral as the [[Leoric|Skeleton King Leoric]], reanimated by the "fallen star," sends his guards to attack him. Directing most of the major quests of Act I, Cain is fatally wounded by the witch Maghda and her Dark Coven, who seek the "fallen star" (revealed to be the fallen archangel [[Tyrael]]) and his broken sword, recovered by the player. Cain's last act before dying is to use his Horadric magic to reforge the sword, and determine it is angelic in origin. At the cinematic leading into Act II, Cain is cremated on a pyre in the graveyard outside the Cathedral. ===Heroes of the Storm Comics=== Deckard is exploring [[Dragon Shire]] when the forces of the [[Raven Lord]] accuse him of hiding a girl from them. Said girl, [[Orphea]], turns out to be a powerful magician of some sort and the two of them travel to the court of [[Raena]], the [[Lady of Thorns]] and a powerful [[Realm Lord]]. There, they warn her of the Raven Lordβs designs on her realm and the rest of the Nexus. She is initially reluctant to get involved due to her own problems with a curse that's turned her husband to stone and is now slowly afflicting her. When Cain explains that her people are already in danger and that the Raven Lord has already set his eyes on a new realm which would give him more power than her, she rallies her armies and allies to defend King's Crest and oppose the Raven Lord's forces in his plans to conquer [[Alterac Pass]].<ref>[[Secrets of the Storm]]</ref> Later, the Lady of Thorns, despite being deeply injured, confronts the Raven Lord and opens a portal, urging Deckard Cain to lead her people to safety. Raena then succumbs to her curse and is turned to stone.<ref>[[Fall of King's Crest (Comic)]]</ref>
