Not long after Leoric took power, Diablo awoke within the catacombs beneath the cathedral. It was also at Lazarus's insistence that the Tristram Cathedral be appropriated as Leoric's seat of power. Lazarus was among his entourage, and indeed, it was Lazarus who had convinced Leoric to make the journey in the first place. The Darkening of Tristram Awakening TerrorĪt the behest of the Zakarum Church, Leoric of Kehjistan traveled to Khanduras and declared himself king. Lazarus, under Mephisto's influence, was given the task of awakening Diablo, who had been imprisoned underneath a Cathedral in Khanduras. Sankekur became his embodiment on the mortal plane.
In truth, Mephisto had been corrupting Zakarum for centuries. Sankekur threatened him with replacement if he did not live up to his expected duties. Whatever the truth of the matter, his actions came to the notice of Que-Hegan Sankekur, who wrote him a letter demanding that he account for his insubordination. Deckard Cain would later speculate that Lazarus was one of the first members of the faith to be irrevocably corrupted by the Lord of Hatred. He was a highly regarded member, but a shadow fell over him, and he began showing petulance to the senior members of the Church. Lazarus originally resided in Kurast, as one of the guardians over Mephisto's soulstone.
