The Alchemist did not necessarily come to Torchlight for adventure and heroism. Ember is a cornerstone of his magical art, and the beleaguered town sits atop the largest cache of this magical mineral ever found. To save it, he may have to save everyone. By channeling the power of Ember, the Alchemist is able to dispatch enemies from afar as well as summon minions to his aid. But his connection to the Ember also makes him uniquely vulnerable to its corruption.

Will the power of Ember be the tool of his triumph or cause of his doom?

Part of an ancient order dedicated to justice and bringing balance to the world, the Vanquisher was dispatched to Torchlight to investigate the mysterious slayings and missing townsfolk. Unknown to her, the evil invading the town comes from a source much deeper and darker than the mines. In combat, the Vanquisher can pick off enemies from afar, or use traps to confuse and debilitate her foes from all directions.

Cut off from the support of her order, the dark power of Ember will test the Vanquisher’s skill and conviction to the fullest.

For an endless wanderer drawn to conflict with his dual-welding blades, the chance to battle evil in Torchlight proved irresistible. Channeling the warrior spirits of his ancestors, the Destroyer excels at close-quarter combat, easily overwhelming multiple enemies at once with his speed and ferocity. This violence is accompanied by a strong sense of virtue – most Destroyers see themselves as a scourge in service of justice – but things in Torchlight may not be as simple as they appear.

With the darkness rising to cloud the Destroyer’s judgment, only time will tell if his mighty heart can resist Ember's corruption.
