In Diablo III, what is the name of the blacksmith artisan recruited in Act I?

In Diablo III, Haedrig Eamon is the blacksmith artisan recruited in Act I. The player encounters him near New Tristram while he is dealing with the threat surrounding his home and his transformed wife, Mira.

After joining the hero, Haedrig provides blacksmith services, including crafting weapons, armor, and other equipment. He also becomes a recurring character during the campaign and appears in the player's town hub. His personal story gives the early game a human perspective alongside the larger conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

Haedrig is easy to mix up with Diablo III's other followers and artisans. Kormac is the Templar follower, Lyndon is the Scoundrel, and Covetous Shen is the jeweler artisan. Haedrig's defining role is the blacksmith, while Shen focuses on gems and the Mystic later handles item enchantment and transmogrification.
