With the formal announcement of Diablo 4 finally out of the way, it appears that the leaks involving Lilith as a key player were also correct. As the daughter of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, and Queen of the Succubi, Lilith’s history within the Diablo series should not be understated. Long-time fans of the game may recognize the importance of her actions, the Blessed Mother of Sanctuary, but most may not.

Who is Lilith related to in Diablo?
In Diablo lore, Lilith is the daughter of one of the universe’s most powerful entities.
Mephisto, Lord of Hatred – and in some circles, we considered to possibly be the daughter of Auriel, Sister of Lucion. Lilith has also been strongly aligned and romantically linked to Inarius – a former Archangel. A relationship that would lead to the creation of humanity and the Nephalem.
Lilith’s story in Diablo
Diablo’s Lilith, known more commonly as The Queen of the Succubi. She is at heart, a demon who is in the endless war between the Burning Hells and High Heavens. Lilith sought to forge a new realm between the two that would provide an escape from the toils of ceaseless war – a sanctuary if you will.
Lilith fell in love with the Archangel Inarius and together, they created the human world of Sanctuary as a place for their offspring to live in peace without the interference of Angels or Demons. As their offspring were half Demon and Angels, they became a new race known as the Nephalem. However, their union and the creation of this new race we can see as an abomination in both Hell and Heaven.
