Why is Karthus' Lore so different?

Link provided of Karthus' Lore. Why is his Lore so much shorter and rather uninteresting than most of the League champions? Most of them have excellent Lore, tying into the champion's history, who they've interacted with, how they became what they are, etc..

Karthus gets four sentences. Four. FOUR. And in those four sentences, there is nothing interesting or anything that makes him unique, other than a few brief discriptions.

pls buff?

You are looking at the short version. Most champions have a full version of their lore, as well as a short one paragraph summery version. You can read his full lore here: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Karthus/Background

I didn't know that existed, however, in the game client when viewing the lore, his is still shortened when every other champion's Lore is pretty lengthy.

The client never contains the champions full lore. The in-client lore is simply a summery of the champion. Sure, the summery is longer for some, but it is still much shorter than their full lore.

Ah, okay. I was just going through all the lores and noticed a difference, thought it was strange.

It is quite strange. You should at least have the option to view the full lore in-client, but alas you do not. Supposedly Rito has been working on a better way to push forward the lore, but it has been many months now with no real update.
