Champions – Ruined King: A League of Legends Story

1. Ahri – Ahri is a mysterious fox-like vastaya in search of her place in the world. Having become a somewhat reluctant and empathetic predator since entering mortal society, she prefers to manipulate her prey’s emotions before partaking of their life essence—receiving flashes of memory and insight from each soul she consumes.
2. Miss Fortune – A Bilgewater captain famed for her looks but feared for her ruthlessness, Sarah Fortune paints a stark figure among the hardened criminals of the port city. Those who underestimate her will face a beguiling and unpredictable opponent… and, likely, a bullet or two in their guts.
3. Braum – Blessed with massive biceps and an even bigger heart, Braum is a beloved Iceborn hero of the Freljord. Every mead hall north of Frostheld toasts his legendary strength. With his enchanted shield, Braum works towards his dream of a peaceful Freljord by protecting the vulnerable.
4. Pyke – A renowned harpooner from the slaughter docks of Bilgewater, Pyke should have met his death in the belly of a gigantic jaull-fish. Yet, he returned. Now he uses his new supernatural gifts to bring a swift and gruesome end to those who make their fortune by exploiting others.
5. Illaoi – Illaoi’s powerful physique is dwarfed only by her indomitable faith. As the prophet of the Great Kraken, she uses a huge, golden idol to rip her foes’ spirits from their bodies and shatter their perception of reality.
6. Yasuo – Yasuo is an agile swordsman who wields the air itself against his enemies. As a proud young man, he was falsely accused of murdering his master. Unable to prove his innocence, he was forced to slay his own brother in self-defense. In time, his brother mysteriously returned from death. Despite that, Yasuo still could not forgive himself for all he had done.
