The Sisters of the Sightless Eye

The Rogue order returns - through one survivor in your caravan.

Original HellCodex illustration. Not official Blizzard artwork.

Confirmed: a former Sister of the Sightless Eye travels with the player's caravan in Diablo V.

The Sisters of the Sightless Eye are the Rogue order most closely associated with Diablo II - a monastic order of archers whose home was overrun early in that game.

Why "former" is doing work

Blizzard's description is not "a Sister of the Sightless Eye". It is a former one. In a game whose premise is that the defenders lost, a member of an order that no longer meaningfully exists is a precise piece of characterisation.

The reading is ours. The confirmed fact is her presence in the caravan.

What this does not confirm

It does not confirm a playable Rogue or Amazon class, a return to the Rogue Monastery, or any mechanical link to Diablo II's Rogue skills. None of those have been mentioned.
