The 13th?

Now we know two of the heros, to be sure.

One can assume that Diablos used to be one as well, though he would need to be saved and cleansed to be able to be functional the way the other two are.

Are there hints as to what others could be of the 13th as well?

I'm not sure Diablos is one. The tentacle Boss right before Echkidna in the Void Arch was one. It's what they turned into after using the auracite.

I'd accept that the tentacle boss with the hair might be one as well, but diablo was the warrior of light of his world, surely, he's got a mind and power enough.

Cuchuliaan's entry in the 1st lore book says that they were a WoL of the 13th. Just because a voidsent has a lot of power and mind and is high on the Voidsent hierarchy doesn't mean they were a WoL.

Technically the boss with the hair is Calofisteri, who was actually a resident of the Source. Specifically a mage from Mhach who drank voidsent blood in a ritual (no idea if it's generic voidsent blood like the crafting ingredient we use in ALC recipes, or the blood of specific voidsent) to basically turn into what she became, as an attempt to guard the Nullstone.

The boss with the tentacles is Cuchulainn, who was indeed a champion of the Thirteenth, and whose name I always have to look up to check the spelling of.

To be pedantic, I don't think there's a source saying Cuchulainn or any of the voidsent were Warriors of Light. The specific word used is "champion" in the lorebook, and "hero" by Unukalhai. (Cylva refers to herself as one of the "heroes" as well.)

Having said that, I could be wrong, since it all depends on some dialogue somewhere referring to them as "Warriors of Light". I have no idea where that might be found, but I can't rule it out completely.

*nods* I'm sure at least one of the great heros turned voidsent in the process of the diablo plotline is one of the "wol" crew from the 13. I personally think it's diablos. It might be Cuchulainn. It might be both.
Course, 13th, they didn't form the standard party of heros. We don't know how many of them there are.

5.4 role quest spoilers but I'm assuming the 13th is going to be the Eureka or possibly raid content in 6.x, with the task force that we set up at the end of the post role quest story as our expedition team.

If there is more on Diablos it has to be from somewhere that's not the 2nd Lore book as the 2nd one doesn't mention anything about him being a Wol corrupted by auracite from the 13th. Just that he was used by Machi as a weapon against Amanpour. Along with his Hallowed form just made him stronger to attacks. Don't get me wrong I'd love to know more about the various WoLs who failed to save their shard. Along with hope that we can maybe some day reverse as much darkness as we can for the 13th.

If I recall, in the 5.3 story quests, it is noted that Warriors of Light and Hero tends to be used interchangeably. It does leave some credence for Cuchulainn being a Warrior of Light. I do believe we are also refered to as a champion on occasion.

While that was specifically regarding the heroes from the First, I guess it could also be ascribed to the other champions from other Shards.

Unukalhai does specify a difference between "champions" and "those of the Light".

Screenshots, because I'm too lazy to transcribe:

The implication is that the "champions" (and "heroes") of the Thirteenth who were corrupted by auracite and turned into powerful voidsent were different from those who had the Blessing Of Light, ie chosen by Hydaelyn.

However, this dialogue is from the 3.x patches, and as usual it's possible it could be retconned by someone going "actually Unukalhai was ignorant of the true facts" or "he was speaking generally". And personally I do also think it's very possible for a WoL of the Thirteenth to be turned into a voidsent when the Thirteenth fell to Darkness. It's just that I don't have any evidence of that, until otherwise stated.

If they do have an expansion set in the void, WoL-shard turned Voidsent would make a nice Trial.

Seeing as it is possible for a WoL to be turned into a sineater, see both us and Ardbert's friends, I don't see why a WoL can't become a voidsent. And all honesty, it would make for a epic fight, I agree.
