I personally think it makes him much more special or influential. Not knowing where the other Darkin are, or even if they're still alive, adds to the mystery. I'm reminded of Gandalf from LotR. He was one of 5 Istari (like a low-ranking angelic being) sent to Middle-Earth on a specific mission to help the peoples of Middle Earth fight Sauron, but he's the only one who actually stays true to his task. The others got corrupted, distracted, or lost.

If we liken the Darkin to personifcations of sin or the four horsemen, Aatrox and Kench could very easily be related

It's my guess that Darkin will most likely be reconned out of the game entirely. They're pretty miniscule inclusions in the game, and they're one of the least fleshed out aspects of their lore, which has been getting majorly overhauled recently. I'd not miss it nor would I be surprised if the whole Darkin concept was scrapped in lieu of something that fits better into the world of Runterra.

TahmKench is a Darkin, he calls Aatrox his "brother" in game.

fun fact when making concepts for jhin they made a bunch of ideas like him being demacian and such BUT more importantly they dabbled with the idea of him being a darkin but then hiim being ionian was the final concept

I would love to see more Darkin, Marai or... whatever Fizz is! ♥

There was this old boards post from a really long time ago, saying how the other four could be Morgana, Brand, Varus and Jax, it was a really good explanation and pretty cool overall
