Bartuc

This article is a stub. You can help Diablo Wiki by expanding it.

Bartuc is a Vizjerei mage and the brother of Horazon, whose enchanted armor is the main antagonist in Legacy of Blood.

The tales of Bartuc started during the Sin War as one who had risen among the ranks of sorcerers, only to later turn to the darkness, or demon-conjuring, for which the Vizjerei clan is notorious. Eventually, even the demons that Bartuc summoned came to fear his prowess.

His armor was once a brilliant gold, but his ritual of covering his armor in the blood of the conquered stained it a crimson red.

Bartuc's brother Horazon, with the help of other Vizjeri sorcerers, defeated him and, wary of his brother's power even in death, commanded Bartuc's body forever be hidden from the sight of man. Bartuc's magic armor was split apart and sent across the world to prevent its reuniting.

In Diablo II

There is an in-game item for the Assassin called Bartuc's Cut-Throat Greater Talons.

In Legacy of Blood

Caution: As of Diablo III, the Diablo team behind no longer considers the book from which the following account was derived to be canonical with new lore.

In Legacy of Blood, Bartuc's armor takes control of Norrec Vizharan in its task of reuniting with its helmet, which is in the posession of General Augustus Malevolyn.
