Nen, the Believer
Summary: A mage that excels in the jungle, manipulating monsters to his will.
Lore
Nen, one of the first of the deranged Cultists of Arak'thun, was loyal to his leader. Following every command like a dog, he committed even the most vile acts to remain a figure of power in the cult. One day, the mislead and lied-to cultist was riding a caravan with other members of the cult. The Sai Khaleek, a desert overpopulated with the Xer'sai, was their destination. To continue to be overlooked by the Void race, the cultists had to offer sacrifices to their queen. With every offering, the Xer'sai would grow greedy, demanding more flesh. Some brave cultists volunteered to be crushed within the jaws of these beasts. Nen was one of these loyal cultists. As he dismounted, he looked into the fiery eyes of Rek'sai. The greed and hatred in her eyes was evident, and the restlessness of the other Xer'sai stirred a recipe for disaster. Suddenly, other Xer'sai unburrowed from the hot sand. Covering their eyes, any cultist not getting eaten began to flee. Except Nen. His motionless made him undetected by the underground Xer'sai. As Rek'sai stared into the rage-filled eyes of Nen, she rose higher, preparing for her next meal.
Awakening deep under the sand of Shurima, Nen wiped off the blood from his dark skin. He wobbly rose to a stand. Artifacts made by other cultists circled around him. The Arak'thun Shrine for the Xer'sai towered above. Nen watched as grains of sand fell out of jars, one by one, only to fall into another, equally decorated vase. The only artifact that mattered to Nen know, was the Head of the Queen herself, Rek'sai.

Nen is able to control the actions of monsters, allowing them to fight for him. Nen can control monsters by double-clicking on them. Nen can store up to 2/3/4 monsters. Releasing monsters uses 8/9/10% of his health and mana. Captured monsters do not grant XP. Epic Monsters cannot be controlled. Scuttle Crabs cannot be controlled. Nen cannot release monsters if he is below 20% health or mana. Monsters have 20/30/40% of their original stats when released. Monsters last up to 10 seconds. Stats scale at levels 1/7/13.
Q - Surge: Nen dashes in a direction, damaging all enemies near him for 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% AP) magic damage. This ability can be used two more times if an enemy was hit for free within 3 seconds to deal the same damage. Hitting all three on the same enemy champion or monster automatically releases a monster to attack the target if available.
