The class is directly inspired by Diablo II's Paladin, and hails from the same Order of Zakarum. The Crusader is a mid-ranged melee class who will use shields, flails, and mid-ranged spells in combat. Using the power of the Black Soulstone, an artefact which contains all of the Prime Evils - Diablo, Mephisto, Baal - and Azmodan, Malthael begins his assault with a mass reaping of human souls in the decadent city of Westmarch. Malthael, the long-missing archangel of Wisdom, now the Archangel of Death, appears on Sanctuary bent on the elimination of all mankind, seeing them as the only remaining trace of a demonic presence that must be purged in order to bring resolution to the Eternal Conflict. Reaper of Souls adds a fifth act to the game, beginning in the gothic city of Westmarch and eventually expanding to its surrounding environments and beyond. The new, fifth act of the story sees Malthael - once the Archangel of Wisdom, now the Archangel of Death - take possession of the Black Soulstone, using the powers of the prime evils to command a legion of death angels in an effort to cleanse Sanctuary of the last demonic presence it hosts - Humankind, the illicit children of Angels and Demons.
