The first images of the Female Monk from Diablo III have been revealed in the latest episode of the Jace Hall Show, released exclusively at the 7:25 minute mark, the character artwork is clearly shown of a blond character with metallic shoulder pads. Three further images are shown, including the female monk in a combat stance, as well as the progression of her clothing from basic gear to heavy armor. Jay Wilson, the game director of Diablo III, mentions that these images have not been seen anywhere.

This would not be the first time that a female version of a Diablo III character has been shown. The game’s website is currently depicting a female version of the wizard class on its homepage, as well as concept art of the female barbarian. We contacted Blizzard for a statement, and received word from a spokesman that a female Monk will indeed be part of Diablo III.
