Find evidence Tyrael = new boss

Hi all,

even when D2 was still a fresh game (after re-installing it AGAIN I think it still is), rumours were that Tyrael had some hidden agenda.
Now my idea is: Tyrael is the end boss in D3 as a fallen angel and I want as much proof as we can find. Please number them so we can refer to them.
Here we go:
1. Tyrael is on the front of D3 pictures everywhere, as were the end bosses Daiblo in D1 and D2, and Baal in LOD.
2. The logo, 3 vertical slices, are coloured from white in the top (Tyrael in heaven) to red in the bottom (Tyrael fallen from heaven to hell).

EDIT:
Forgot 3. Tyrael in the artwork seems to fall from heaven: http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/media/artwork.xml#41
also check the name above the one where Tyrael is drawn in pencil. Why is the name "...blizzard.com/Diablo"?

good point.
aslo would like to add my own thoughts.. Being that Tyrael is an angel, could he possibly have resurrected diablo/evil power back to life?
Another things is.. when he destroyed the worldstone, perhaps he absorbed the power or was possessed by it.

No. The display of the sketch, right above it is the "file name".. try highlighting it..

Here's the full address of it.

Of course, in the sketch, all you see is htp:/www.blizzard.com/diablo

But if you highlight it, it gives you the full addy.

the worldstone corrupting him is an interesting idea, also, what happened to Baal's soulstone when we destroyed him?

Tyreal's face is ominously black under the hood. But even if he is a bad guy, there is no way he will be the end boss, imo. They reused some of the same old story ideas: rescuing Cain, evil returning to tristram, etc. It follows that Diablo will be the end boss, just like always.

Tyrael's face is no darker than it always was....

Tyrael wanted the Worldstone destroyed, he played man and made pacts with the devils for this to be. he betrayed all of them as they died as pawns for his bidding. That black inside his hood, that is an angel no longer holy. We haven't seen heaven yet, we've seen Diablo.

Who ate who?

Could Tyrael be the new character to be corrupted by a soulstone? In that case we may be looking for multible fights with Tyrael. Midway through the game we might encounter him as an "possessed" angel. When setting him free, by defeating him, the "spirit" of big D himself could escape and forcing us to track him down further for the end battle!

What you think?

The black inside the hood is no proof, if you read the books you know that they are made by pure energy, so he doesn't have a real face so to speak

Tyrael is a big main character who looks cool and we all know. Right now they haven't told us anything about what has happened to the Prime Evils (that is, if they aren't just dead), but they need SOMEONE to stand up front for the game. They chose Tyrael. It makes sense - it doesn't make him evil.

Good VS Evil, Heaven VS Hell. Nothing about Tyrael in some coloured lines.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see Tyrael falling from Heaven anywhere?
