Other than that, you’re just gonna have to deal with a lookalike Aspect of Wisdom/Death.Īnd if you want to play as a Reaper, Seraphim, Arch Angel, Demon, Lesser Evil, Evil, Or Prime Evil.
So either Malthael returns like Tyrael did, or his essence is repurposed and somehow his conscience from his previous form travels to that new body. Regular angels or Seraphim can be recycled but when there essence is corrupted they simply deplete and die like any other trash mob. And as he fell he slowly disintegrated, implying his angelic energy had been fully depleted and he was undergoing crystal return, which is when the vestiments of an angel return to the crystal arch to be repurposed as a newborn angel, this works differently with Arch Angels because their essence never truly disappears or can be corrupted, only recycled into a new form. The souls Malthael consumed burst out of him as well as the soul stone fragments. Tyrael’s return implies that there is a method of revival for Arch Angels, under certain circumstances.
An Arch Angel can never be truly corrupted unlike lesser angels, they can only go mad or find absolute disdain for the heroic side.
