Maghda, This "hero" means to attack you in Alcarnus. If I were you, I'd set a trap at the Khasim Outpost... but I'm not you. For all I know, you wish to fail me again and force me to kill you. That would grieve me, but somehow.. I think I could manage it
~ Belial in one of his letters to Maghda.
How dare you question! How dare you deny yourselves victory! Long have the Primes lorded over us. Long have they thought themselves our betters. Diablo...Diablo will fall, as will the rest. Do not be swayed or led to fear by him. Do not, for each of you will reign. Each of you will share the power we will earn.
~ Belial convincing Andariel and Duriel to his plan of exiling Prime Evils.

Belial is a major antagonist in Diablo III. One of the "Lesser Evils", he is a powerful demon who is the "Lord of Lies". He is also the supreme leader of the Coven and a master of Maghda.

He was voiced by Jim Ward, who also voiced Herr Kleiser in the Ultimate Avengers films.

Personality[]

Belial advocated the notion that perception is reality, and it was his sole purpose to dominate reality. He did not lie simply for the sake of lying, but rather to deceive with the intent of controlling others' perception of what is real. He relished the moment his victim realized they'd been deceived, that moment of nakedness and betrayal. If Belial had a weakness however, it was that he was often trapped within the intricate webs of his own machinations.

Tyrael described Belial as desiring power above all other things and that his thousand schemes are designed toward his ends.

Biography[]

Like the other six Great Evils, Belial was born from one of the seven heads of Tathamet, the draconic demon whose corpse would form the Burning Hells. He had once been a protege of Mephisto, honing his powers of deception under the Lord of Hatred's guidance. Eventually, he would turn on his mentor and manipulated Azmodan into leading a revolt against the Prime Evils, though this may have likely been indirectly encouraged by Mephisto himself. With the armies of Azmodan and Belial unified, the Prime Evils were cast out of Hell, though at the expense of a full third of Hell's Demons. Azmodan and Belial were left to vie for power over the Burning Hells, a conflict Belial ultimately lost. Years later, much like the Prime Evils, Belial would turn his attention to Sanctuary and corrupting its populace, focusing primarily of Caldeum, capital of Kehjistan, either possessing or impersonating its boy emperor Hakkan II. His influence over the mortal Realm mirrors Mephisto's own of twenty years prior, as his power over Caldeum was nearly complete until he met an untimely demise at the hands of the Nephalem. He later became a part of the Prime Evil, who was defeated, again by the Nephalem. He is was trapped the Black Soulstone until Malthael's actions released Diablo with the other six Evils still merged with him.
