Personality and Traits

Imperius’s tactical brilliance encompasses all facets of warfare, from maneuvering armies on the battlefield to leading covert strikes against Hell’s outposts. The mere sight of Imperius is enough to embolden angels with valor and strength. Very few angels can remain standing tall after earning Imperius’s ire.

Imperius has demonstrated the ability to resist the powers of fear where other angels have failed. However, his valor has come with the flaws of pride and arrogance, and when enraged, he may become reckless beyond reason. He has had many arguments with Tyrael that could only be put to rest through Auriel’s intervention. When not in battle, Imperius often strategizes and trains other warrior angels in the Halls of Valor, his personal domain in the High Heavens. He possesses a strong hatred of humanity because of their free will — Diablo’s assault on Heaven has only added to that hatred, both because it was only made possible by a mortal and because the mortals succeeded in defeating Diablo where he himself has failed. Myriam Jahzia also foresaw that his hatred for the Nephalem would grow even stronger after Malthael was defeated by their hand. In Imperius’s eyes, there is only right and wrong, good and evil. There are no shades of gray.

Abilities

mperius’s abilities include teleportation, the ability to render other angels silent with a mere gesture, and telekinesis. Solarion, his spear, can be called to his side at a moment’s notice. With it, he can unleash powerful flames capable of burning away the disguise of a demon. He can also release flames from his hands without using Solarion.

Imperius can also unleash great energy upon his descent, obliterating swarms of demons while leaving allies untouched.

Trivia

• The word “Imperius” is derived from the Latin “imperium “, a concept in Ancient Roman law approximately meaning “the power of command”.
  • In the Roman Republic and later Empire , imperium power had a civilian aspect, which was approximately equivalent to modern “executive power”, and a military aspect, which was the power to issue what would now be called “legal orders” to the military. As the de facto leader of Heaven, the archangel seems to possess both of these kinds of power.
  • In modern English, the adjective imperious means roughly “having a tendency to order others around” or “domineering”. Again, the angel’s personality matches this quite well.
• Imperius’s role in the Council was possibly inspired by Michael the Archangel, said to be the leader of the Army of God in the Book of Revelation. However, Michael’s signature attribute, the flaming sword, is borne by Tyrael instead, while Imperius wields a spear.
• He is voiced by Rick Wasserman.
• In The Sanctuary Tarot Deck and Guidebook Imperius represents Judgement card.
