Wolf and lamb inspired by Hel?

This is Hel. https://www.smitefire.com/images/god/card/hel.png Norse goddess of the underworld. She is one being with split conflicting personalities. A light side and a dark side. The light side is caring and forgiving and loving, while her dark side is hate filled and judgmental.

With the new lamb and wolf trailer released, I can't help but wondering if this champ was inspired by Hel. Light and dark. An entity with conflicting split personalities that is speculated to be related to the dead, just like Hel. Heck, she even has a wolf as part of her outfit.

This is a pretty reasonable conclusion to draw, as they are almost one and the same. It would be great to see a champ with a conflicting personality. I can't wait.

to be fair, it was teased that "everyone met them" and was hated. death is the large thing i walk away from with. and the teaser in pbe occurs on death... so i'm game.

I mean it's about as inspired by Hel as it is by the ice climbers

If anything it's actually inspired by horrific old fashioned fairy tales

iv been looking but havent been able to find the lore of a lonly person splitting into two people or a wolf and a lamb to be more specific. this is the second time iv ever seen something use this type of history makeing me think that this is some form of fable/legend. if any one watches bleach then they had a character just like this trailer. he was so strong that those around him died becuase they could not handle being near him. so out of lonlyness he split himself in two so he had a companion that could always be near him and at the same time weaken him so that he didnt hurt all those around him. im speaking of coyote stark from bleach.

Dualistic characters are a common trope.

Meh I have seen better fleshed out duality personality in yandere tropes.

I think Lamb and Wolf actually has a slight role reversal, where the Lamb sounds somewhat evil while the Wolf seems to be a loyal and unthinking brute who follows the former.
