** Champion Type**

Mage/Marksman

** Champion Concept **

A dps mage who thrives in extended battles with an enemy, slowly but surely destroying their chances of victory.

** Lore **

Rivals: Kalista, Soraka, Elise Allies: Mordekaiser, Hecarim, Karthus

At one time, the man who would become Kethin was the king of what is now known as the Shadow Isles. He was a mighty warrior, a powerful sorcerer and a noble ruler, but as the years drew by, he began to obsess over the restraints of age and his inevitable death. One day, he reached a critical point within himself and gave in to despair. Gripped by the terror of death, he gathered the greatest mages of the land to begin a ritual to break the boundaries between life and death, thereby overcoming the limits of mortality. The ritual he commanded cursed his kingdom, turning it into a haunted land of death.

Kethin was born that day, a being with no memory of who he once was. The only knowledge left of his former life was that he was the king of a nation, and so he calls himself the King of the Shadow Isles. Driven still by his desire to live forever, Kethin now exists only to steal life and strength from the living, thereby extending his time spent lingering in the world of the living...

Personally i feel like 90% of the champion concepts i see on here are about "darkness" or "shadows" or more void creatures, but cool concept other than this.
