Safien the Guardian of the Damned - _ Support / Mage_
Lore
Before, Safien held a high position in the secret order that was hidden away from the world's eye, keeping many secrets of life and magic from those who wished harm to use it. Born and raised in the Blessed Isles, Safien grew up and found peace within himself at an early age, granting him the ability to join the ranks of his people. For many years, Safien watched the outside world through the veil that kept their location hidden for many generations until one faithful day when a ship approached their shore. Safien was one of the first to welcome the young general
, proud and beautiful, he pondered about the outside world but nevertheless felt satisfaction knowing his island has helped an outsider.
As the general left after his master instructed her, Safien was tasked to return to the order and prepare for the cleansing. Inside the order, Safien went to the deeper levels, the catacomb, to find the ingredients for the ritual where he was approached by the warden
who merely welcomed him coldly. As Safien went through the relics and artifacts, he could feel a dark and sadistic atmosphere around the man but when he looked back - he was simply normal as anyone. As Safien gazed upon the shelves, the guardian bidded goodbye as he has found what he was looking for, asking to leave immediately as he has important things to do. His eyes shifted from left to right until he found a white flower encased in glass, radiantly glowing with an unnatural gold. He held it in his hand when something else caught his attention.
A opened book held an eerie glow as it quietly laid on a table. Safien's curiosity took the best of him when he gazed upon the book, there he found a spell or incantation of some sort, Ruination - although he was able to get a peak, the sound of chain and keys rattling interrupted his attention, the warden was coming back and he did not want to cause any trouble. As he rushed towards the ceremonial grounds, he found the young general accompanied by her men, all clad in armor with weapons of war. The king who exclaimed for the resurrection of her wife. The death of the general. The death of them.
Everything happened so fast and the last thing he could follow was the glassed flower shattering on the ground, the cold steel through his stomach and the crimson color drenching his robe. As he felt his own life fading away, a vision of some sort flashed in his head where everyone was alive, even himself - yet deep down he felt something wrong with what he saw. Unknown words slowly whispered through his ears, with each one pulling a memory from his head. As the final word was uttered, he remembered the book - the incantation and the spell, and with his dying breath he carefully recited the spell as his vision started to disappear.
As his vision started to appear, he felt a terrible headache and the icy cold embrace crawled down his body, his surrounding filled with ruin and decay, twisted far from the shadow of his former home. His own body decayed to the point of bones as a price for his mistake, donning his crimson cloak to hide his image. He watched as apparitions of his people stood up from their corpses, becoming spirits to roam the deathly forest. There he found the young general, radiantly glowing with unnatural green light. She was dead yet she was alive. He could only watch her body twisted by his magic as she turned one of the undeath. As he passed through the many corpses of the slaughter, he made a vow to guide his victims to a better life.
"Not all those who die are evil, the good also dies, and remains that way." - Safien

Skill and Item Usage
• Passage of Undeath can be used by you or your ally to escape from the enemy team or re-position yourselves from the enemy team. • Punishment of Mistakes allows you to bypass healthier champions in a team fight, allowing you to deal damage to enemy champions being focused by your allies. • Threshold of Agony can become a double-edge sword so be careful when using it on an allied champion as it can possibly kill you.

Hecarim or
• Essential
These items helps Safien to stay longer in team fights as well as counteract the toll from his Threshold of Agony if things goes wrong. Also provides a good amount of Health, Ability Power and Spell Vamp to sustain yourself if needed since most of the time, Safien will either be located in the back of your allies or the middle of the enemy team.
Zhonya's Hourglass provides the best item for Safien, allowing you a degree of control with your passive, Passage of the Undeath or ignore the damage dealt through Threshold of Agony if needed.
