Kion

"Standing in the ancient city of Corvus, Daedessa the Builder bestowed the Eternal Crown on her son, Kion. Fueled by the artifact's power, Kion formed the Immortals. And swore to protect Sanctuary from the Burning Hells."

Kion was a nephalem, and the son of Daedessa. In Corvus, Daedessa entrusted him with the Eternal Crown, and bid that he form a group whose sole purpose would be to defend Sanctuary against the Burning Hells. To this end, Kion created the Immortals, in a ceremony held in Corvus, to a cheering crowd.

Kion and his fellow Immortals went on to defend Sanctuary from the forces of Hell. In one occasion, Kion and his fellow Immortals battled against a host of demons which included Rakanoth. Eventually however, Kion's original group of Immortals was supplanted by the Shadows, led by his sister, Akeba.

Trivia

 * Kion's Ordeal is apparently named after him.


 * Kion's ultimate fate is left ambiguous, and there is circumstantial evidence as to when he died. Based on trailers however, there is evidence as to whether he fell at Rakanoth's or Akeba's hands.
 * Rakanoth: Kion is seen fighting against Rakanoth in the Cycle of Strife trailer, but is not seen prevailing against him. Later, in the Shadows trailer, Akeba is seen fighting (and apparently prevailing) against Rakanoth at the same site, with the corpses of Immortals seen by her. Considering that it was after this point that she moved against the Immortals, Kion may have fallen in this battle.
 * Akeba: In the Shadows trailer, an Immortal wearing the Eternal Crown is seen on horseback, battling the Shadows. This is presumably Kion, if one assumes that the Crown never changed hands. Furthermore, in the same trailer, Akeba is seen holding the crown atop a pile of corpses. Potentially, she may have slain Kion to take it.
