Diablo 3 news » The Barbarian Revealed

As the worldwide release of Diablo III on May 15 steadily approaches, we continue our in-depth look at the five heroes of Sanctuary with a complete revelation of the mighty barbarian on our Diablo III launch site. Delve into this comprehensive inquiry into the second of our five heroes to learn more about the “Children of Bul-Kathos.”

The barbarians fulfilled their purpose with unwavering determination for centuries, dwelling in a pristine state of isolation. Anything that could lead toward distraction or weakness was pushed aside, including politics, magic, trade, and machinery. Tribes patrolling Mount Arreat brooked no intrusion from outsiders, without question or parley. It was a pure existence, a life committed to the sword, axe, spear, shield, and duty above all else.

Venture on to the Gathering of Heroes page on our Diablo III launch site to read barbarian lore, watch a new class video, learn about their skills, resources, armor, and weapons, and read an exclusive short story titled "Wayfarer".
