Cain fulfilled the same role in ''Diablo'', where he became known for his loquacious nature and rambling, overlong stories. This tendency of his was used as something of a joke in ''Diablo II'' and the fact that he was caged and tortured by the demons in Act One was something of a fan service for long-suffering ''Diablo'' fans, who after endlessly clicking through his stories in the first game had often wanted to stick him in a cage themselves. His usual verbal prompt in ''Diablo II'' is "Stay a while and listen." in homage to his wordy nature. | Cain fulfilled the same role in ''Diablo'', where he became known for his loquacious nature and rambling, overlong stories.

'''Activation''' | |||
It is certain that we face the demon queen, Andariel, who has corrupted the Rogue Sisterhood and defiled their ancestral Monastery. This does not bode well for us, my friend. Ancient Horadric texts record that Andariel and the other Lesser Evils once overthrew the three Prime Evils -- Diablo, Mephisto and Baal -- banishing them from Hell to our world. Here, they caused mankind untold anguish and suffering before they were finally bound within the Soulstones. Andariel's presence here could mean that the forces of Hell are once again aligned behind Diablo and his Brothers. If this is true, then I fear for us all. You must kill her before the Monastery becomes a permanent outpost of Hell and the way east lost forever. | :''It is certain that we face the demon queen, Andariel, who has corrupted the Rogue Sisterhood and defiled their ancestral Monastery.

Diablo is heading east for some foul purpose. And the only passage east is through the Monastery gate. Obviously, Diablo summoned Andariel to block any pursuit. For her part Andariel hopes to win Diablo's favor... the lesser demons are always vying for positions of power within the unholy hierarchy! | '''After Activation''' | ||

'''Return''' | |||
It is clear that Andariel is acting on behalf of Diablo to prevent anyone from following him eastward. Her defeat would allow you to continue the pursuit. Ancient lore has it that while Andariel was spawned in the Burning Hells, she is not fond of fire. | :''It is clear that Andariel is acting on behalf of Diablo to prevent anyone from following him eastward.

'''Completion''' | |||
This is a great victory indeed, but many more battles await. I will accompany you on your journey, lending what assistance I can... Remember... Diablo is still out there, seeking something in the desert. I'm afraid that this nightmare will not end until you find what it is that he seeks. | :''This is a great victory indeed, but many more battles await.
