Skeleton King
From Diablo Wiki
[edit] Description
- You dare to bring the warmth of life into my tomb? Prepare yourself, mortal, to serve me for all eternity!
The Skeleton King is a boss in Diablo III. The Skeleton king is the now undead King Leoric, bound once again to the mortal realm, even after his defeat during the events of Diablo I. Other than this small piece of information, nothing has been revealed about him.
The Skeleton King first appeared in the Wizard introduction trailer, greeting the Wizard and warning her to prepare herself to serve him for all eternity very similar to the way he greeted the player that entered his tomb in Diablo I (at which the Wizard gave a confident grin). He was at this point present as a ghost giving orders to his numerous minions.
At the end of the trailer, where the Wizard stood before his throne, his ghost was seen stumbling backwards onto his skeletal body sitting on the throne, taking control of it and standing up with his huge mace held ready, laughing malevolently. He then staggered forward to the Wizard for battle.
