Talk:Bartuc the Bloody

Warlord of Blood
We aren't sure if Bartuc the Bloody is the same as the Warlord of Blood though. It certainly seems to be the same character, but it could just be more like a tribute to the Warlord of Blood. Maybe this Bartuc just acts similar to the Warlord, but is not actually him. I mainly say this because the Legacy of Blood novel by Knaak (deemed canon by Blizzard) makes it seem as if it is impossible for the Warlord to come back to Sanctuary without his armour - which was apparently destroyed by Horazon. Also, his armour is similar to the Ring from Lord of the Rings, how Sauron is partly in the Ring and without it he cannot survive. But then again, Bartuc the Bloody isn't wearing armour, so it is possible that Baal just brought back half of his soul without the half in the armour. Maybe only the Prime Evils have the power to do that, while the Lesser Evils don't, because Belial was interested in reviving the Warlord but needed his armour to do so. So yes, it is just a rumour, I suppose, but the wording used makes people assume that it is the Warlord of Blood. I'll edit it and use what I said here to explain it a bit better.
