Diablo III Animated Short: Wrath

Peter Chung of Aeon Flux and The Animatrix fame has recently teamed up with Titmouse Studios (of Metalocalypse) and Studio Goindol for an animated short that provides a little bit of backstory behind the most recent installment in their Diablo franchise, entitled Diablo III.

The animated short shows a battle between Angels and Demons, which has been going on even before The Sanctuary was built. The Demons are of course led by Diablo, the Prince of Terror. The Angels are led by a cadre of Archangels, which includes familiar faces Tyrael and Aureal, and also includes their overly aggressive brother, Imperius, who seems to be the main cause of problems that will resurface in the future.
