Haedrig was a young husband and father in [[New Tristram]], when the fiery [[Meteor]] crashed down through the [[Monastery]]. In the chaos and demonic uprising that followed, his wife and child were slain, then returned to half-life as hideous [[zombie]]s. Brokenhearted over their undead fate, Haedrig beseeches the hero to find them and destroy them, putting their souls to rest.
During development, many of his talents were redistributed.* Haedrig formerly handled initially [[socketingsocket]] but that talent was given to the Jewelered items. He also lost his repair monopoly, and This is now various NPC merchants provide thathandled by the [[jeweler]], along with selling and buying weapons and armorwho also removes [[gem]]s from sockets. ==Appearance and Upgrades== * Haedrig'initially made all [[repair]]s wagon and general shop appearance will change, growing more shiny and impressive, as he is leveled up.
