Skular is a Barbarian warrior, one of the few who managed to survive the Siege of Sescheron and retain their sanity.
Biography[]
Skular was present when Baal attacked Sescheron, and fought to protect the city, chronicling the battle as the events unfolded. When Kanai died, and the battle was lost, Skular and other survivors took shelter in the ruins.
After the Worldstone's destruction, Skular and his brethren hunted down most of the Unclean and left the city.[1]
They returned later to finish the task and liberate the ruins of both cannibals and vermin, but Ice Clan khazra captured them, only for Skular to be rescued by The Nephalem soon afterwards.[2]
In-game[]
Players may find Skular in Ruins of Sescheron in Act III of Diablo III. He is locked in a final cage during the Last of the Barbarians event. He then joins the Nephalem, fighting on their side as long as they both remain in the Ruins.
In battle, he uses the Cleave skill.
If Abd al-Hazir is rescued while Skular is following the Nephalem, the barbarian will ask to put the scholar back in the cage for his gossiping. He will comment on other events in the Ruins as well. His dialogue lines change if the player character is a Barbarian.
If taken to the Immortal Throne, he will say that he must return to his vigil, kneel before Kanai and remain there.
Skular's Salvation bracers can be found in-game, stating that this item helped him survive the invasion of Baal.
