He was defeated by the Angiris Council creators of the universe before and then holy warriors called Nephalem that crusaded against him, they were children of angels and deamons that altered the balanced the power in favor of good in the Eternal Conflict of the cosmos.
The term Prime Evil is one with several definitions:
When applied in the plural, it refers to the three most powerful of the seven Great Evils: Mephisto, Lord of Hatred; Diablo, Lord of Terror; and Baal, Lord of Destruction.
When applied in the singular, it refers to the embodiment of all seven Great Evils in one being, which can mean either the original Prime Evil, Tathamet, or Diablo when he incorporated the six other Evils into himself.
Well Tathamet was a being so massive and powerful that its corpse actually formed the Burning Hells. Diablo gains this beings power. It created the universe by manfighting Anu (The good god), and their deaths spawned the Diablo setting, which consists of at least three planetary-esque places (Heaven, Hell, and Sanctuary). Maybe more, but I'm not sure, the ****ing Diablo wiki is being a shitbird.
The majority of Anu's and Tathamet's powers were expanded in their fight(also, the whole creating the universe thing). Not to mention that the whole of Tathamet's body went into creating the Burning Hells, while his seven heads spawned the Seven Great Evils.

It depends on how you want to look at it, basically its just explained as the three most powerful of the seven Great Evils: Mephisto, Lord of Hatred; Diablo, Lord of Terror; and Baal, Lord of Destruction.
Tathamet's was never talked about in the game because it was pre math stuff.
For this fight I just based it off of the the three showings of the combined prime evils shown in the game. Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto.
My apologies, Anu was the creator/god of the universe, Malthael the first leader of the Angiris Council was the creator of Sanctuary. Mainly was referring to Sanctuary as that is the only place you see in the game.
It was Inarius and his goons who created Sanctuary, not Malthael. Even then, the immense power of the Worldstone was needed to create the world of Sanctuary; they did not do it under their own power.

So many names of the council, yes, Irnarius. Malthael is the new master of this new chaos in the expansion. Are you playing it? I also forgot what happened to Irnarius.
