The Demon Hunter (also known as Valla) is a hero from the Diablo franchise. She witnessed the ferocity of hellspawn firsthand as the demons ravaged her village and left her for dead. Now, with no people to call her own, her only allegiance is to her cause: to rid Sanctuary of the demonic filth corrupting its lands.
In the world of Sanctuary Demon Hunters are spoken of in whispers. They are as feared as the demons they hunt and for good measure. Valla, like all demon hunters, walks a fine line between the tides of corruption from the enemies she faces and giving in to the sea of writhing hatred that fuels her quest to rid her world of the forces of Hell. The only thing that saves her is her incredible discipline that tempers all of her actions since answering the call of her order.
Valla's story starts many years ago when she was still a child. She lived a quiet life in a small town in the Eastern Kingdoms with her parents and younger sister Halissa. Her life changed when a demon horde descended upon her community and butchered everyone. Valla and her sister were the only two to survive the slaughter and ran into the forests surrounding her home for safety. Eventually the stress of narrowly surviving a demon attack, living like an animal in the woods and the constant fear that they would be discovered became too much for Halissa to handle and she snapped in the middle of a violent rain storm. Valla tried to protect her sister in vain, but her life was taken away by the current of the river. She was found by a group of demon hunters who were tracking the horde that attacked her village, and become one of them.
It would take many years for her to temper her hatred with the discipline needed to face powerful demons. She would face a powerful demon called Valdraxxis who used her memories of her lost sister against her, but this only would serve to strengthen her resolve and final realize her true potential as Demon Hunter. When Valla stared into the abyss that was Valdraxxis’ soul, it was the demon that blinked first.
Valla would later play an integral role in the saving of Sanctuary as she fought mercilessly against the Lords of Hell and she would eventually bring down the Prime Evil, Diablo, before he could destroy the High Heavens. Her duty is not yet over though as Death itself has now come to challenge her...
A pro when it comes to the chase, the Demon Hunter can deal some heavy damage. She concentrates on overcoming her enemies and taking out the weakest to reduce the number of enemies in a teamfight quickly. A peerless assassin, she is efficient, notably with her single target damage (despite her several skills that hit several targets), but be careful, she is not very resistant, especially if she is caught on her own.
