You gotta think about this from Big D's perspective. You start catching rumors of some nobody going around and doing things in your name. You have no idea who this guy is or even how he knows who you are, but maybe its legit. Who knows? First thing you'll do is send a crony out to scope this dude. After all, you're not gonna put it past Palpatine or Aragorn to get some spy into your organization to figure out your plans. You know, at least, that Palpatine is aware that people can leave the Underverse. You know that saggy, wrinkly SOB is gonna wonder why YOU haven't decided to leave yet. You can't trust this person until you're sure they're on the up and up.
So you send your minion. First, all he does is watch what the guy does from the shadows. Tails him from place to place. Eventually, he contacts rando and lets him know he's with Big D. He'll give the guy a few minor missions, things which if he's a spy won't affect the overall plan if he tattles. But you're never gonna be sure of the dude until you meet him face to face. So, you're gonna tell your minion to relay a message. The guy needs to come down here so you can look him in the eye and telepathy/insight out any shenanigans. The minion gives him your ultimatum: continue being a low-level nobody doing menial tasks and never seeing Big D, or find a way to the Underverse and become a true acolyte.
At least, that's how I'D do it if I were a big, scheming demon with enemies everywhere. Sure, he's gonna want some active dudes working for him. But he's not gonna trust every joker who goes on a murder spree and claims it was all for Diablo. At the end of the day, whether you wanna get Banished or take the Void Gate there, you'll never be more than the lowliest of pawns to Diablo until you meet him face to face.
