 | Was Akkhan actually a Crusader?(1) | Category: GeneralMarch-28-2014 1:33 AM PDT (9 years ago)  |
| So, not knowing what to name my Crusader (aside from wanting it to be Lore-friendly), after brushing up on how Crusaders pass their name one master to apprentice for generations, I decided "Hey, I'll name my Crusader Akkhan!". However, delving further into the Lore, I'm actually not seeing anything suggesting one way or the other than Akkhan was actually a Crusader himself, but simply *founded* the order. Any chance a Blue could share a bit more of the character with us? Who he was, whether he also took up the mantle of Crusader in their cause, or did he take a more "wait and see" approach? Also; any chance we could have a little preview of what the Armor of Akkhan actually looks like? I'm assuming it's this set (on the right), which looks awesome: http://media-titanium.cursecdn.com/attachments/54/348/56.jpg Also; any idea what weapon and shield those are? | ||

| Akkhan was not a Crusader himself. He was a mid-level Zakarum priest, just lowly enough to avoid being a part of the rituals that would have exposed him to Mephisto's corruption, but high enough to be able to train and equip his new order. After he founded the Crusaders, Akkhan stayed behind to try to fight the corruption directly, a task which eventually cost him his life. The Armor of Akkhan found in-game is named based upon his writings on how Crusaders should be armored and equipped on their crusade. He, however, did not wear it himself. | ||
