Cain the Elder reveals to the player that his full name is Deckard Cain toward the end of the game. After picking up the Staff of Lazarus from the Vile Stand in dungeon level 15 for the Archbishop Lazarus Quest, the player can talk to Deckard Cain back in town to hear him say, "This does not bode well, for it confirms my darkest fears. While I did not allow myself to believe the ancient legends, I cannot deny them now. Perhaps the time has come to reveal who I am. My true name is Deckard Cain the Elder, and I am the last descendant of an ancient brotherhood that was dedicated to safeguarding the secrets of a timeless evil. An evil that quite obviously has now been released." In a video that was published to YouTube on October 6, 2008, this quote by Deckard Cain starts at the 0:10 mark of the video, and the quote ends at the 0:45 mark of the video. In a different video that was published to YouTube on January 11, 2012, this quote by Deckard Cain starts at the 15:57 mark of the video, and the quote ends at the 16:32 mark of the video.
A video which was published to YouTube on October 6, 2008, shows the ending cinematic of the game. From the 4:11 mark of the video to the 5:22 mark of the video, the ending cinematic shows the hero take out the Soulstone from Diablo and put it in their forehead. From the 5:26 mark of the video to the 6:20 mark of the video, the narrator says, "The Soulstone burns with hellfire as an eerie red glow blurs your vision. Fresh blood flows into your eyes, and you begin to hear the tormented whispers of the damned. You have done what you knew must be done. The essence of Diablo is contained — for now. You pray that you have become strong enough to contain the demon and keep him at bay. Although you have been fortified by your quest, you can still feel him, clawing his way up from the dark recesses of your soul. Fighting to retain control, your thoughts turn toward the ancient mystic lands of the Far East. Perhaps there, beyond the desolate wastes of Aranoch, you will find an answer, or perhaps, salvation."
