The Last Darkin?

So... it seems pretty clear that the Darkin are based off on the 4 Horsemen of Apocalypse. The only one left is the black rider of famine. What would be a good design concept for a Darkin with a scale with barley and wheat for a denarius? I am thinking of a mage/AD caster hybrid who can freely switch his/her damage type during the game. Let me know about your iteration or comments, thoughts, etc. about the final Darkin! I think the general fantasy is awesome (but we do need to know WHO created the Darkin weapons...)

Edit: Please share some good ideas that highlight the "scale" element. I am struggling on this.

Well, there are the big 3 that we already know about, Aatrox, Rhasst, and Varus's bow. Being War Death and Pestilence, but in the lore there are maybe 2 more "Darkin," and there could always be a possible 6th in the Shadow Isles.

My money on the next Darkin being 2 champions who are already in the game and who are 2 pieces of the Darkin scale. They represent Salvation Kayle and Damnation Morgana . It makes sense because Rhasst is confused if he should count Kayle and Morgana as a single Darkin or 2.

After killing Aatrox "And then there were 4... I think."

But there are 5.

The last darkin would be a feral demon/weapon that befriended a little boy, and they would take 9 years to be released.

When i think at Famine i think at a Female Frontline support ( cause Leona should't be the only one ) mainly focused on debuff ... you know someting like:

Passive: Drain enemy force reducing their movement speed by X% ( scale with lvl with a cap ) for every sec she is near them Q: Next AA put a mark on the target that deal bonus dmg and stun the target if hitted by an ally after 3 sec ( very close to Seju but only activable by an ally ) W: Negate a Unit from Critically striking for X sec_ ( point and click ability placed here just to kill Yasuo )_ E: A skillshot that apply a new status similar to sleep (_ something like .... If landed the enemy remain harmless for X sec ( 1.5-2 sec? ) or till it's hitted by an ally, your skill and ability won't remove the staus )_ R: Chain herself to the selected enemy sapping his life force_ ( ignore shield, magic dmg, etc... )_, the sapped life force is used to provvide a shield to her and a selected ally unit for X% of the dmg done.

The combo would be pretty clean ..... landing E, casting R and appling Q, when the target wake up he have time for reaction before your adc can go for the stun. As for the lategame she will require coordination but her W and passive will be amazing tool.

Look whise, this ( female version XD ):

I will elaborate on the support concept (AD/AP hybrid later) Passive- she can link to one ally throughout the game. They both gain extra experience and gold. Any CS or kill gold taken by the linked ally will stack denarions (think of silver serpents); denarions can be used to loan for an item, one skill point, or upgrade on one item. Q- Throws a magic bolt, dealing damage in a narrow line. Also leaves behind a trail that heavily slows and grounds enemies. The trail's width expands over time.
W- Increases linked ally's attack speed and MS and converts some of its damage to true damage (or armor/MR shred? idk.) E- Throws a magic bolt that deals small magic damage and sleeps the target. Basically suppression, but cannot be negated by items/summoner spell/skill use. If enemy takes damage of more than certain % of max health, he or she will wake up. R- Switches a target enemy's health percentage with target ally's health percentage. Can also target herself with another ally to switch health percentages. Cannot be cast if her health/enemy's health is greater than the target ally's health percentage (to prevent trolling)

I can imagine a female Darkin midlaner with a possessed antique shurimian whip, who uses AD and AP, with attack speed

I put some thought into it and I think this makes sense.
