Inarius wouldn’t have been shown in the trailer if he wasn’t going to have a big part IMO. Plus, we don’t know how many years it’s been since the events of D3. They said decades, so it could be 20-90 years. Plenty of time for him to have recovered.
Blood Raven is the Rogue and The Summoner (Arcane Sanctuary) is the Sorcerer, as well as the Warrior being Diablo, obviously.
D3 I recall it ending with it implying that we might be corrupted and tempted by it, but never following through.

They showed him chained, not free, not breaking the chains, but still chained. Besides we don’t even know if Angels can actually recover from demonic torturing. I mean looking at Izual, that doesn’t appear to be the case, since he first fell to the prime evils at least over three hundred years before Diablo 1; and even after his defeat in Diablo 2, he showed no signs of recovering. So even 90 years or so may not even be enough time for Inarius to recover, unless he had some help.
Well maybe thats why the nephalem never spent too much time around the black soulstone, because who knows what horrible creature would emerged when connecting to his/her demonic blood line.
I want to throw this out there too, and maybe it doesn’t make sense, maybe it does.
Diabo 1, Tristam was sitting on Hell basically (unless maybe the pentagram teleports you to another realm), with rifts opening up in the ground and all that evil sitting and soaking in right underneath Tristram. Diablo 2, you are not even close to Hell for a long time, then you are there briefly (granted, we really don’t know how long it was story wise to get through act IV and so on). So I feel like Tristam is soaked in evil, while D2 was more of a journey to evil. This is just me pondering really, not saying this is accurate or even necessarily makes sense.
It seems hell has many ways and entrences to Sanctuary. In D1 Tristram thru a ritual, in D2 a portal from Khurast and in D3 under Areats crater.
I completely agree. Having the characters become “evil” of their own volition offers far more dynamics, than them falling into corruption and becoming puppets/hosts.
