I was walking through Balboa Park, on a mission to check out today’s Native American Pow Wow, when I was stopped in my tracks by a fearsome knight in shining golden armor!
Check out a few super cool photos! Someone was posing in extraordinarily elaborate gold armor near the entrance to the Museum of Man. It might be the most extraordinary medieval cosplay I’ve ever seen! (My first impression, upon seeing the helmet, is that this might be an elite servant of Sauron. If that’s the case, those brave heroes of Gondor should be very much afraid!)
I spoke very briefly to the guy in the costume. Nothing in particular was being promoted. My impression is that he made the exotic suit of armor himself. Wow! I can’t wait for San Diego Comic-Con! It’s two months away!
UPDATE!
In the comments, Andrew identified the cosplay as Imperius, the Archangel of Valor from Blizzard’s Diablo series. Cool!

My guess is he can walk the street late at night and not worry about anyone messing with him. Cool shots

He’s actually cosplaying as Imperius, the Archangel of Valor from Blizzards Diablo series. I could totally see where you were coming from though with the elite servant of Sauron!
