Grain, the thief of Shurmia
Grain, The thief of the sands. Lore: Grain was always different than his brother Ditri, he didn't fit into their father's plan for the Shurima empire. Always in trouble with rival kingdoms. He always tried to gain the attention of his father. To him the attention didn't matter good or bad, as long as his father would just glance his way.
News of a jewel, from a far kingdom, quickly spread through his father's empire. To Grain this was his chance to finally impress his father, and gain the recognition he deserved. To do this deed, he knew he would need the help of his life long pal Malzahar.
Together He and Malzahar, set out for Runeterra. Once they arrived, they used Malzahar's rift powers to sneak through the walls of the kingdom, until the got to center of the main castle. This is where the found it. The life force of the kingdom, a body-sized gem the emitted a great amount of power. Grain used his sand winds to chip and crave down the gem until it was small enough for them both to carry.
They were warping through wall after wall. Until Malzahar, stopped in a vacant building next to kingdom wall. He told Grain to wait with the gem here, he sensed the were being followed. But Grain insisted on just tunneling under the wall. As Grain was using his sand technique, to drill through the ground, A jewel encrusted hammer crashed through the fall. Stunned by the amount of power this individual showed, Grain was baffled as he was pulled through the wall away from his untimely demise by Malzahar.
Once back home and safe, Malzahar was imprisoned for unlawful trespassing of an allied nation. Grain had done the unthinkable, he had almost started a war with an allied nation. His father was so Angered and enraged by his son's actions, the last draw in his eyes, that he banished Grain from the empire and striped his birthright from him.
Grain wondered the Shuriman desert for 10 years, until he came across a tall jackal who saved him from hunger and the unrelenting heat. Nasus, the jackal shared knowledge, of the league and how it was where he was going, to prove himself to his brother once and for all. This league sparked interest in Grains heart. That's where he would gain the rightful attention he deserved. But first he had to save his friend. He enlisted the help of Nasus, to break Malzahar from his father's prison. He vowed after rescuing Malzahar he would be forever in the debt of his new found jackal friend, and would help him defeat his brother.
Once, he joining the League He recognized a familiar face, but he had such disdain for his brother he dare not reveal his brother's true past, to anyone not even the favorite son, Ditri. He would rather die than see his brother take the rightful place as Pharaoh.
