David Brevik is the creator of the Diablo series and former member of Blizzard North.
Biography
Brevik thought of the name "Diablo" when he lived in Danville, California, which is situated at the base of Mount Diablo. The name appealed to him, though he did not realize that Diablo translates as "devil" in Spanish until much later.
Brevik has expressed a dim view of Diablo III, and has cited Marvel Heroes as its spiritual successor.[1]
