Development[]

With the initial sale of Diablo II prior to patching, Lord De Seis's minions were Oblivion Knights. This made him and his minions an extremely deadly force to fight against if the player character was a melee fighter and/or the player's resistances were low, due to the knights' use of Iron Maiden and their magical attacks.
Also in the initial version, De Seis also had a unique ability called "Thief" (from v1.00 to 1.04). Each successful hit on the player would remove an equipped item from the player (changed to potions from the belt in a later patch) and drop it on the ground.
This was especially dangerous for melee fighters who could lose the use of their weapon.
- In beta SuperUniques.txt his name is Lord of the Damned, he has 9 minions and Cursed instead of Aura Enchanted.
- Originally in v1.00-1.06b Lord De Seis had a blue color.
- In v1.07-1.09d he had a red color.
Trivia[]
- It is possible that Lord De Seis is named after the game's Lead Programmer, Richard Seis.
- "Lord De Seis" translates as "Lord Of Six" in Spanish and Portuguese, which is also related to the number of minions accompanying him.
- Lord De Seis is also likely a play on words, with "De Seis" sounding like "Deceased," meaning dead, making him Lord of the Dead.
- Lord De Seis also could be usage of German terminology like (Schenk from A5, who was a legendary 2m tall knight in Hochosterwitz Austria) and come from the German terms Jenseits and Diesseits. Jenseits is "the other world", so the heavens and hell, meaning he would be the lord of our world. Diablo's chosen to rule over the Earth.
