So...Tyreal is possessed by Diablo? Or Baal?

Cant the firewings mean just that it is fiery since it entered the atmosphere of sanctuary at a high speed like a meteor?? Or is it too much to look for a real physics related explanation in the world of diablo lol

Am I the only one that thinks the one on the floor of the transformation art looks more like Tyrael than the one floating?

Hey, you guys/girls should take a look at these images (again)

If you look at the "angel's" chest, there's a cross on it in the third image

If you look at Tyrael, there's no cross on his armor.
So maybe it's not Tyrael?

Was that cross always there?

I swear I've looked at that pic 100 times and never noticed it, despite it seeming so obvious now. o_O

Anyway, it's certainly an interesting point, and lends more weight to arguments countering Tyrael being evil.

The angel in the first sequence seems to have wings on his helm also, while AFAIK, tyreal does not.

Hooray for overanalysing.

The posters above really got me thinking... I've always felt people were jumpin' the gun with all this Tyrael going evil nonsense. I mean it's a bit redundant if he does and makes Angels and characters of good a complete joke. The first picture is definitely a different angel than Tyrael, so this just strengthens my theories of Tyrael being punished by Heaven (not corrupted and turned evil) for interfering with the mortal realm.

Ever since DII came out I thought Tyrael was somewhat suspect. Mainly because of the pitchblack within his hood. He didn't quite look like a being of light to me, but he didn't step outside in DII or LoD so I've now come to trust him...

I've always wondered what was under Tyrael's hood...

I have already said this somewhere, but if you read the books it tells you that they dont have a face like we do they are composed of pure energy, thats why you dont see a face there

if you think about it... Azmodan and Beliel want to get rid of the prime evils and everyone else who stands in their way.... What if Cain and Tyrael are in disguised as Azmodan and Beliel who used the characters from d2 and d2 lod as their puppets to get rid of meph diablo and baal? Now that they are out of the way they can lure the warriors they used into destruction... Or i could be wrong lol
