The Characters in Diablo II (NPCs)

This section will explain and show the characters you will meet in the Acts of 1 through 5!

ACT 1

Kashya is the commander of the Rogues, and basically second in charge of the Rogue Camp. She doesn't trust outlanders, and is cold to your character in the beginning... but as you complete quests, she favors you more than most. After you complete Blood Raven's quest, she will give you a Rogue as a mercenary! This also enables you to hire other Rogues from her as well.

Decard Cain, the last of the Horadrim mages and a great sage who accompanies you on your whole journey after you rescue him from Tristram. You will receieve the benefit to have Cain identify your items for free when you find them. Cain also has much knowledge and wisdom that you can learn a lot from.

Warriv is a trader and goes through many lands with his caravan. He can give you some good advice, but his real purpose is to travel with him to Lut Gholein *Act 2*.

Charsi is the Blacksmith of the camp, and she is a very important person when you start out the game. You can buy from her all the equipment you need, which for all Diablo II characters the items are needed. If you complete the Horadric Malus quest, and return her powerful smithing hammer to her, she will imbue one of your items with magical powers! For example, a "regular" white font short sword, let Charsi imbue it... it becomes a yellow font *rare* item with attributes and modifications! Charsi repairs your items.

Gheed acts like Charsi, as in dealing equipment... only at a higher price. Never buy from Gheed unless he has an item you are in DIRE need of. I have once seen Charsi selling a Cap for 60 gold, while Gheed sells it for like 100. The only thing Gheed is useful for is the Gambling feature.

Akara, the prime minister of the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye, the leader of the Rogues. She gives you your first quest of cleansing the Den of Evil, and also had vast wisdom that can aid you in your quest. She can heal your wounds, so she is a very special character.

ACT 2

Greiz is the mercenary captain of the Spearmen in Act 2. He will allow you to enter the Sewers, and tell you a few other things that may help you. Also, you can hire Spearmen mercenaries from him!

Atma is the owner of the tavern. She will explain to you her situation about losing her family to the evil creatue Radament. Other than that, she serves no real other purpose.

Fara claims to have been trained as a Paladin in Kurast many years ago. She will trade you important equipment and heal your wounds, a very valuable person Fara is. She also can repair your items.

Geglash has the look of a brunt strong guard or such. Instead he is a drunk who is always at the tavern, he really does nothing for you, however he favors Barbarians out of any class...

Jerhyn is the lord of Lut Gholein. He is young yet strong willed and rules his city very well. He is the first person you meet when you enter Act 2, and tells you to see Atma. Later he will give you other information and a quest to do.

Lysander is a potion dealer and will help you in trading potions. He also is... slightly reliable in knowledge and his words sometimes may help you out.

Meshif is the captain of his boat, he sails all over the world and enjoys the feeling of freedom and adventuring. When you defeat Duriel, and with Jerhyn's permission, you will sail with him to Act 3, Kurast.

Drognan will allow you to buy pots, scrolls, magical items from him. He is also a huge dictionary of knowledge, and will help you with your quests.

Elzix is the owner of the "Desert Rain" inn. You can buy low level items off of him, and gamble from him.

ACT 3

Alkor is an alchemist and can sell you potions, but you will want to rely on Ormus for potions and items way more than Alkor.

Hratli is a sorceress skilled in metal working. He is your main person to buy equipment off of, he will have some good items. He also repairs your items.

Asheara is the leader of the "Iron Wolves" mercenary band. She allows you to hire one of her mages, and will also trade items with you.

Ormus will heal your wounds and you can buy potions and magical items off of him.

ACT 4

  Tyrael the Archangel is a very special character in the game, and plays a very important role. You can resurrect your merecnary from him, and will give you passageway to Harrogath when you kill Diablo.

Jamella will heal your wounds and sell your magical items. Jamella also gambles, and she does not have the option to speak to you.

The golden armored man will sell you equipment, and repair your items! He does not have the option to speak to you.

ACT 5

Malah will heal your wounds and sell magical items. She has many things to say to all of the character classes... just speak to her more often.

Larzuc at first is skeptical of your character, and tells you to kill Shenk to prove yourself. After you do this, he apologizes and offers his services are a lower rate and to socket one of your items, which is VERY important with high level items! You can buy equipment off him, and he repairs your items.

Anya is one of the slain elder's daughters, and the last actual heir to their town's leadership. She is strong willed and you can trade with her items, and gamble as well. You must originally rescue her from the Icy Cellar after speaking with Malah about it.

Qual-Kehk is the senior man-at-arms, and the general of the defense of Harrogath. He will defend it with his life, and will allow you to hire a Barbarian mercenary if you rescue his fifteen soldiers in the Frigid Highlands.
