Auriel

From Diablo Wiki

The Archangel Auriel is a member of the Angiris Council. She is possibly the Archangel of Love.

[edit] History

Auriel is the only female member of the Angiris Council. She is described as being dressed in blue robes. She has a sympathetic nature.

When Sanctuary was discovered, she defended the existence of the hidden world. She wanted to uphold the inhabitants' right to life and wanted to see them grow and mature.

So far, she has only been mentioned in The Sin War trilogy.

[edit] Relationship with Mephisto

It is hinted that Mephisto and Auriel may have once been lovers.

"We, like you, made false assumptions about this place, false assumptions about the creatures spawned by both our kind.' A blazing red eye materialized, then winked in the direction of Auriel, who utterly ignored it." -Mephisto, pg 332 of The Veiled Prophet

Also, when the Kiss of Mephisto, also known as the 'Blood Marble' that resurrects the Morlu is first mentioned, it is said that it was named 'Kiss of Mephisto' because it was originally a gift for someone else, other than Lucion. Since Lucion doesn't approve of the 'kiss', then it doesn't seem to be the sort of kiss that a father gives to his son. Therefore, it also seems unlikely to be the type of kiss that is from a father to his daughter, so it is also unlikely that it is aimed at Lilith. If not Lilith or Lucion, then Mephisto must have been involved with someone else. Tying in with his wink at Auriel, it appears that Auriel was who the 'kiss' was directed at.

"Turning his eyes back to the cataclysmic sight below, Lord Lucion gestured toward the very center, where the worst of the carnage had and was still taking place. In the midst of everything, a black gemstone nearly as large as a man sat embedded in a triangular column of red-streaked marble. “Blood marble,” it was named, naturally. The stone was called by Malic’s master the Kiss of Mephisto, although the cleric had, from past comments, reason to believe that it had once been named for another of whom Lord Lucion would not speak." -Birthright

Until confirmed, this is just speculation.
