[Champion Concept] Kulden, The Frostbitten Blade

Hey everyone! BowietheNifty here bringing you another champion concept. This guy here is one I have been working on for quite awhile and I believe I have finalized him enough to post him up. As always I am looking for input and opinions, things you like or concerns. Also be free to look at my other champion concepts which are located below at the bottom of the page. Enough of the chit chat, onward to the concept!

Kulden, The Frostbitten Blade

Appearance (This image is not of my work. I don't take the credit for making any of this image. This is simply being used as a means to give a general idea of what the champion looks like.)

For his appearance this is the closest that I could find to match him physically. Though the difference between the picture and Kulden himself is quite distinct. Kulden's left arm is made of complete ice for one, his attire is battered and torn. As for his weaponry, he wield two katars made of ice in each hand. These weapons are very similar to what uses.

Lore

Kulden hails from the icy mountains of the Freljord. The young man was born into the hardships that came with being apart of the harsh cold environments. These were even intensified being apart of the feared Winter's claw. He was put through struggle after struggle once gained control over the tribe. Try as he might, he wasn't the strongest man. In fact he was one of the weaker, ill bodied members of the tribe. Due to this he was considered a burden by the Winter's Wrath. He was a waste of space and would do better as a corpse. The boar rider herself confronted Kulden herself in an attempt to strike him down. The young man didn't wish to die, not here and not now. "Wait!" He pleaded with the fierce woman. "I ask that you spare my life today. I want to prove my strength to the Winter's Claw. Allow me to take my leave, allow me to brave the raging blizzards and the stinging cold of the mountains. Give me only the clothes on my back and the weapon at my side. Give a years time and I will return here stronger then anyone here! This I swear on my life, or let the winter take it." Sejuani huffed at his pea. "Then go...I don't expect you to return. Don't expect a warm welcome." She responded in her cold tone. With that he left the group behind to fend against the ever lasting cold.

Kulden began to realize his mistake rather quickly. Traversing through snow with any supplies was taking a toll on the man's body. He wasn't hardened like the others of the Winter's Claw. Perhaps it was true what was said, he was better off as a corpse. Though he wished to prove that wrong. Determined he chugged on through the cold eventually reaching the Howling Abyss. It was here that he found shelter within the caves that were connected to the bridges of the frozen canyon. His stay however was short lived as he was confronted by another being. This one was a troll of immense size holding a club of true ice. Instantly he could tell that he wasn't wanted in this place. Kulden drew the sword from his side in an effort to defend himself. The troll simply laughed at the size of his weapon. With on raise of the club, Kulden's weapon was smacked away proving that it wouldn't help him in this fight. "I can't fight this...I can't die here...I have to run!" The thoughts raced through the young man's head. He turned and bolted out of the cave making it onto the bridge. Though the lack of food and rest took a toll on him as the troll was easily able to pursue. Another swing of the club struck the man sending him flying straight off the bridge and into the abyss below.

It has been quiet some time sense that day. Months upon months have passed. Though one day something came climbing up the side of the canyon walls. Kulden set foot on the bridge once more. Though things have changed for the young man. He was paler then before, his armor tattered, his human arm replaced by one of ice. What ever happened down in the abyss had changed him. He had gained power and strength he had been searching for, as well as uncovered a true about the past and future. "The Watchers will return, just I will to you, Sejuani."
