He wields the sentient darkin weapon Rhaast, undeterred by its creeping corruption of his body and mind.

  • Short Story: The Blade of Millennia by Michael McCarthy
    Kayn stood confidently in the shadow of the noxtoraa, surrounded by dead soldiers, and smiled at the irony. These triumphal arches of dark stone were raised to honor the strength of Noxus—to instill fear and to demand fealty from all who passed beneath them. Now this one was a tombstone, a monument to false strength and arrogance, and a symbol of the fallen warriors’ own fear turned against them.

    Keelo always cried “Surprise!” when he attacked.
