I Have Always Been a Wanderer. I Have Roamed These Lands For as Long as I Can Remember, But My Blades Always Lead Me Back to Conflict. When I Heard of The Evils Befalling Torchlight, I Returned From The Wilderness. Tales of Madness - Townsfolk Slain, or Missing... and A Darkness, Rising From The Deep. It Was Inevitable That I Was Drawn to This Place - My Blades Would Not Be Still. So, I Made The Long Journey. I Arrived at Sunset, and While Things at First Seemed Simple, I Did Not Know Then The Shadows I Would Face, and The Terrible Power Gathering Far Below The Surface. I Would Discover Them in Time... - Destroyer

In Torchlight II[]
In Torchlight II, the Destroyer appears as a non-player character in the Estherian Steppes. According to writer JD Wiker, "... the Destroyer is one of the first people you meet. It's been a few years since he was an active adventurer, and he's got that "retired football hero" vibe about him. When you meet him, he's stuck at an obscure tavern in the middle of yak-herder territory, and he's bored out of his mind."[1]
