In a time where the feudal system was the most stable kind of government, it is hard to advance one's lot in life. Most people were born a peasant and live their entire life as one. Without willing to risk everything, one cannot advance in this kind of society. Watch as one young man takes every opportunity before him. Watch as he grows into a man. Watch as he learns what his dream is. Watch as he takes hold with tooth and claw. Watch as he does the near impossible. 

Diablo is a child named after a demon. He is uneducated in both numbers and writing. Yet, instead of simply living the life he is dealt, he takes opportunity by the hand and is lifted up higher than he ever thought he could go. Adventurer, Soldier, Mercenary, Slave, Robber Barron, King. He is all of these and much more.
