Who is Elias in Diablo 4?
Also known as The Pale Man, Elias plays a crucial role as Lilith’s right-hand companion. He summons Lilith back to the Sanctuary through a gruesome blood ritual, driven by his unwavering conviction that she, as the mother of all evil, will restore Sanctuary to its former glory. A cunning and cold-blooded character, Elias lacks compassion for humans and is determined to aid Lilith in her destructive course.
Elias’s ability to summon demons to protect himself during combat makes him a formidable enemy. As you engage with him throughout the campaign, you will gradually unravel his true intentions and his character as a whole.
