Zavenos, The Commissar
Alright, hello everyone! As some of you may know from the old forums, I am a huge Warhammer 40k fan. In the Dawn of War 2 games, I always loved the Lord Commissar as my hero with a term known as kill one to buff the rest, while that would be a complete inability in League because of how the game works, but I wanted to try and create a Commissar champion for League of Legends. Well here is my attempt, sorry for lack of backstory, if someone can help with that, it would be awesome! Let's Begin!

Primary Fighter Secondary Support Tank

Lore
The man is tied to a post, a gun being pointed at his head. The weapon appears to be of Piltover manufacture, with elements of Noxian iconography covering it. The Long barrel and short clip make this pistol a type of emblem for the man who wields it. The man is trying to pull his arm from the post desperately.
“For cowardice on the field of battle, against the Ionians, you are sentenced to death.” The man wielding the pistol has a straight-edged blade at his side, his blocky, scarred face identifying to anyone who served with him, or rather under him. He was the Commissar of Noxus, those who failed in his eyes, never had the chance to fail again.
“Sir, please! The situation was --!” “Shut up. Adriase, you fled from the field where a single girl stood against you. SHe may have been powerful, but Noxus is stronger.”
The man knew his fate, but he still shook with fear. Commissar Zavenos didn’t even look at him when he pulled the trigger taking the better part of the man’s forehead off. To Zavenos, cowards were beneath his contempt. It is better to die in service then be purged for cowardice.
He had done eighteen executions in the course of the week.
***Zavenos was born into the bottom class of Noxus. His father had been a failing merchant, his mother a slain thief. He had been forced to live meagerly while being a bold and merciless man, Before his military career, Zavenos became a gang-boss in the slums, running a thriving cutpurse program, however it did not last.
He soon lost faith in those under him, and distrusted them. He had killed several before the age of twenty. He joined the Noxian military at the age of 24, rising from the lowest ranks until becoming an icon of bravery, for his actions against a force of Rakkor warriors. Many of the men died, but Zavenos had survived, earning his iconic scar.
Before the Noxian Invasion of Ionia, Zavenos had become Noxus’s one and only Commissar, executing those he saw as cowardly commonly without a court martial. In his unit, his word was law.
During the invasion he felt a supreme dishonor for Noxus as whole when Karma defeated an entire Noxian Battleforce and again when Jarvan was executed, and Xin Xhao, their prominent gladiator had escaped, and has since been trying to redeem the Noxian military in his eyes.
Zavenos’s has no allies within Noxus, nor enemies, most live in either fear or admiration of him, and his harsh expectations of his troops has earned him many commendations from Noxian High Command.
“Cowards have no place in my presence. Fear is your death, whether it be because of lack of focus on the battlefield, or by my bullet.” - Zavenos before his Troops after the Execution of a prominent Captain
Enemies: Karma, Garen, Jarvan IV
