Kala was a Seer of the Barbarian peoples. She was the one who had the vision in which the Ancients asked a young warrior from the West, Talic to be one of guardians of Mount Arreat.

She is described only as an old woman. She went with Sescheron's Elder to tell Talic, who had a quaint family with his wife and child, what the Ancients had demanded. His reward was to have an eternal place on the holy mountain. Seeing Talic's reluctance, she told him that it was not her choice and that the Ancients had already spoken to her.

What Talic did next can be seen from his presence in the Arreat Summit when the player reaches there in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
