Judge of Character is a campaign achievement to read all the People lore books in Act II of Diablo III.

Throughout players' travels across Sanctuary, they will find journal entries, scrolls, diaries, notes and letters written by people both known and unknown. They often record thoughts and feelings of events that occurred in the past, oftentimes even before the time of Diablo I. They will usually be found at random within certain areas or at a certain spot of the game world, and usually refer to some historical event tied to that general area. Every single one has been voice recorded, which can be heard anytime the player wishes, which convey the mood and emotional state of the author at the time of writing.

Fuad's Journal[]

Location: Fuad's Cellar, in the Howling Plateau, dropped by Fuad the Cannibal.

"Day four: We were crazed with starvation from three days with no food, but that is no excuse for what we have done...

Day seven: I cannot face what I have become...

Day ten: I hunger, but I am patient. Someone will come for me. And then I will feed again"

Fuad

Zoltan Kulle[]

Location: Hidden Camp, given by Adria.

Quest: Unexpected Allies

"Murderer. Torturer. Monster. These were the titles bestowed upon Zoltun Kulle by the Horadrim. Though it cost them dearly, they killed the wizard for his crimes against nature and sealed his broken corpse within a shadow realm. It seems they were afraid he might return"

Adria

The Musings of Sardar[]

Location: The Tomb of Sardar, found inside a Satchel.

Quest: (Event) Sardar's Treasure

"Those fools of the Trade Consortium are clueless that I siphon the public funds from their coffers. I will continue to hide my plunder here, where none can find it. One day soon I will claim my treasure and flee this desert hell for the greener pastures of the west"

Caliphate Sardar

The Promises of Fezuul al-Kazaar[]

Location: Dahlgur Oasis, dropped by Fezuul.

"Fezuul al-Kazarr promised that he would lead his followers from sinful Caldeum to a lily-strewn paradise at the heart of the desert, and that the journey would transform them beyond all recognition.

Judging by the condition of the gnawed corpses found weeks later, Fezuul kept at least one of his promises"

Abd al-Hazir

Eirena's Journal[]

Location: Any town after Act II, given by Eirena, after the conversation "Eirena's Journey"

"I felt no fear when they sealed the tomb before me, only a sense of peace as my mind drifted away into the darkness. It seems I opened my eyes only seconds later and beheld the chamber in ruins, half-buried in sand. I have left everything behind... Only hope guides me now"

Eirena

Iron Wolf Captain's Journal[]

Location: Alcarnus, found on the Iron Wolf Captain's Corpse.

"Another sunset, and Alcarnus is still safe from the sudden madness that plagues Caldeum. Though we are seeing an influx of hooded pilgrims for some Zakarum holy day, the... demons out there are keeping their distance. I will double the guard at the gate. We must not be unprepared if our luck turns"

Iron Wolf Captain

The Legend of Zei the Trickster[]

Location: Any town after Act II, given by Covetous Shen, after the conversation "A Case of Mistaken Identity"

"The people of Xiansai worship fifty-nine gods, but few are more revered than Zei, the exiled trickster god who travels the face of the world, disguised as a humble merchant. Tales of his adventures range from ingenious thefts and practical jokes to more... lurid exploits, none of which I am comfortable recording here"

Abd al-Hazir

Kala's Poem[]

Location: Hidden Camp, given by Kala, after the conversation "Noble Dreams"

Quest: Blood and Sand

"When the desert sands silence their whispers in the night, and the thousand lights of the stars bleed into the darkness, I will find you in the void. My love will pour from me as words pour from my pen"

Kala

The Last Will of Khan Dakab[]

Location: The Tomb of Khan Dakab, inside the Dahlgur Oasis, found inside a Satchel.

Quest: (Event) The Lost Treasure of Khan Dakab

"My life has been long. I have gathered much wealth around me. But gold has brought me nothing but pain, and I will not let the curse of my wealth fall on my family. This room shall hold my treasure for all eternity; none shall divine its secrets..."

Kahn Dakab

Larra's Diary[]

Location: Deserted Cellar, Inside the Black Canyon Mines, given by Larra.

Quest:

"About a week has passed since the cultists found us. Mama told me to hide; I was always good at hiding. No one could ever find me because I would choose the places where no one wanted to look. Then they dragged my parents away... I can still hear them screaming"

Larra

Kulle's Journal[]

Part I[]

Location: Vault of the Assassin, inside the Desolate Sands.

"Finally, I have unlocked the secret of the soulstones once given to the Horadrim by Tyrael. An impressive creation, to be sure, but one that I am certain can be duplicated. No, not just duplicated — improved upon. My soulstone will be made to contain the souls of many demons, or even angels!"

Zoltun Kulle

Part II[]

Location: Cave of the Betrayer, inside the Desolate Sands.

"I believe with this soulstone I will finally be able to unlock the true power of man. In ancient times, our kind possessed power unmatched in this dreary age. With the soulstone, I will be able to elevate myself to the strength of my ancestors"

Zoltun Kulle

Part III[]

Location: Cave of the Betrayer, inside the Desolate Sands.

"The Black Soulstone will be my greatest work, my legacy, and my gift to humanity. There will be wars to come between man and the creatures of Heaven and Hell. The power housed within my stone is the very thing needed to set mankind free from demons and angels forever"

Zoltun Kulle

Part IV[]

Location: Soulstone Chamber, inside The Terminus, dropped after killing Zoltan Kulle

"The wards have been triggered. It seems my brothers have finally come looking for me. Damn them! I am not ready. Too much of my power is invested in the stone's creation. I must finish it. The future of mankind depends on it..."

Zoltun Kulle

Leah's Caldeum Journal[]

Location: Hidden Camp, found in Leah's Belongings, near Nek the Brawler

Part I[]

Quest: Shadows in the Desert

"Caldeum — everything Uncle Deckard left me leads to this place. It's strange; I first met him here when I was only a child... and now his loss feels heavier than ever. He was right about everything all along... We have to stop Belial before it's too late"

Leah

Part II[]

Quest: City of Blood

"The city has many secrets, and I still remember most of them. I can get into Caldeum through the sewers if I avoid the Imperial Guard. While I'm out, my friend has sworn to take down Maghda. It won't bring Uncle Deckard back, but we'll all be relieved when she's gone"

Leah

Part III[]

Quest: Unexpected Allies

"After all this time, my mother is alive! I couldn't be happier, and yet it's still hard to accept that she never sent word to me or Uncle Deckard. She said that she wanted to keep me safe, but I just wish I'd known... Well, at least I have her now"

Leah

Part IV[]

Quest: Blood and Sand

"My mother has been teaching me magic and how to control my power, but I feel like I'm constantly disappointing her. She says that I have a gift, but it doesn't feel that way. Maybe it will improve if I keep practicing. For now, we are getting closer to the Black Soulstone, and that's what really matters"

Leah

Part V[]

Quest: The Scouring of Calduem

"We have the Black Soulstone at last, despite Zoltun Kulle's betrayal. I always knew he couldn't be trusted. Fortunately, we were able to defeat him and retrieve the stone. I learned that my mother had secretly bound the fallen Lords of Hell to it... I just wonder why she didn't tell me"

Leah

Andariel, the Maiden of Anguish[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"Andariel was the only female Evil. She aided the Lesser Evils for many years, but eventually she lost faith in their plots. Two decades ago, she chose to help Diablo during his resurgence and seized the Citadel of the Sightless Eye. Ultimately, she perished at the hands of brave heroes"

Deckard Cain

Azmodan, the Lord of Sin[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"The Valrous manuscript lists Azmodan as the best battlefield commander of all demons, having defeated the angels many times in the Eternal Conflict across Pandemonium and the Prime Evils in the demonic civil war. If the Lord of Sin ever assaults our realm, we truly have much to fear"

Deckard Cain

Baal, the Lord of Destruction[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"Baal was the most brash and reckless of the Prime Evils. After the Dark Exile, he was contained within the Horadrim Tal Rasha and entombed. Centuries later, Diablo freed Baal, who then corrupted the Worldstone to devastating effect for the barbarians who lived near Mount Arreat. The heroes killed Baal shortly afterward"

Deckard Cain

Belial, the Lord of Lies[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"Belial, Lord of Lies, is the most elusive of the seven Evils and is a master of deceit. It is said that he manipulated Azmodan into revolt against the Prime Evils. This began the Burning Hells' civil war, which ended with the Dark Exile of the Prime Evils to our mortal realm"

Deckard Cain

Diablo, the Lord of Terror[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"Diablo was the youngest of the Prime Evils, but I found him the most dangerous, for his power over terror left him incapable of feeling fear. Though he had easily possessed and corrupted many humans, Diablo's essence was finally trapped in a soulstone and banished to the unfathomable Abyss twenty years ago"

Deckard Cain

Duriel, the Lord of Pain[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"Duriel is the twin of Andariel. I believe that they conspired together to assist Diablo in releasing Mephisto and Baal, though they had both supported the Lesser Evils in the past. The Lord of Pain was found guarding Baal's prison—the tomb of Tal Rasha—when he was slain by heroes"

Deckard Cain

Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"The evil of Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, was so pervasive that even after he had been defeated and entombed in a soulstone, his demonic essence oozed upwards into Travincal and corrupted the Zakarum priests. Though he fell to the same heroes who killed his brothers, I fear for us should he ever return"

Deckard Cain

The Seven Lords of Hell[]

Location: Various Locations, found inside Cain's Lost Satchel, on can be found near the west entrance of Khasim Outpost.

"It is with some reluctance that I write on the seven Lords of Hell, for they are the greatest of the demons, and even whispering their names seems to poison the air around me. They are divided into the Lesser Evils (Belial, Azmodan, Duriel, and Andariel) and the Prime Evils (Mephisto, Baal, and Diablo)"

Deckard Cain

A Love Letter[]

Location: Dahlgur Oasis, found inside a Keepsake Box.

"From the pages of Solan, exalted poet of Kehjistan:

My love rises out

of the oasis like a willow.

Let me nourish her

like a pool of cool water.

Let me wind myself up her curves

and hollows like fingers of ivy,

and climb her shaded branches

to taste of her fruit"

Solan

Necromancer's Log[]

Location: Stinging Winds, given by Mehtan the Necromancer.

Quest: (Event) The Restless Sands

"Two decades ago, my mentor faced the forces of evil and emerged victorious. I cannot hope to surpass his achievements, but I will try to bring balance to the raging forces that threaten to tear the world asunder in these days. The spirits are restless near Caldeum. I must quiet them"

Mehtan the Necromancer

The Imperial Guard's Orders[]

Location: Rotting Cellar, inside the Dahlgur Oasis, dropped by a Copperfang Lurker.

"The enemy has destroyed Alcarnus and most of the cultists. The master commands us to capture more slaves immediately. Go to the oasis and abduct the villagers. Kill any who resist. That way, we shall both gain allies and destroy enemies"

Captain of the Imperial Guard

Crumbling Journal[]

Location: Desolate Sands, found on some Skeletal Remains.

"My mother told me not to join the mages' army. I should have listened. In the morning they're sending the infantry against the Vizjerei. I don't know how we're supposed to survive. Maybe we're not.

It's so beautiful here. Maybe if I hid in the trees, they wouldn't notice I was gone"

Mage Clan Soldier

Poltahr's Notes[]

Location: Chamber of the Lost Idol, inside the Stinging WInds, looted from Poltahr's Satchel, it can spawn anywhere throughout the dungeon.

Quest: (Event) The Rygnar Idol

"I never thought I'd become a treasure hunter, but I also never thought my family's fortunes would sink so low. Yesterday I heard a nobleman asking about the Rygnar idol — an artifact that belonged to the great mage Zoltun Kulle. If I can retrieve it, my family will never go hungry again.

— Poltahr"

Lyndo's Journal[]

Location: Found inside a Satchel from one of the Ancient Device spawns (1/10 Chance).

Quest: (Event) Ancient Device

"We have found the key to the ancient device, but I fear that these treasures will cost us our lives. At least my brother and I have made it this far, and we are still alive. Dare we use this machine?"

Lyndo

Blackened Journal[]

Location: Caldeum Bazaar, found on a Charred Iron Wolf Corpse.

Quest: The Scouring of Caldeum

"Asheara is a good woman. She has to know that the emperor isn't the same sweet child she brought to Caldeum years ago. She has to act! If Caldeum falls, so do the trade routes, and people will start starving all over the world. We must tear Hakan from his throne!"

A Servant's Journal[]

Location: Caldeum Bazaar, found on a Crumpled Corpse, nearby the Searing Sands Inn.

Quest: A Royal Audience

"My little Hakan has become so cruel... so paranoid in the last few weeks. I hear that he has ordered all of his staff to leave the city, or he will have them thrown from the walls. He cannot possibly mean me. I have cared for him since he was an infant!"
