Theory about Tahm Kench and Aatrox ally listing.

I noticed that Aatrox is listed as one of Tahm's allies. Which seemed weird because the two don't seem to have similar interests at all. I tried to think various reasons for this, and there's only one that makes sense to my (potentially sleep-deprived) mind.

Tahm, like Aatrox and allegedly Jax, is a Darkin.

They don't look similar, no, but then again, neither do Aatrox and Jax. So what common theme do these three fairly different champions have that can put them under the same label? This gave me another idea about the Darkin: they're modeled(intentionally or not) after the seven deadly sins.

Aatrox: Wrath Jax: Pride Tahm Kench: Gluttony

Thats my take on it anyways.

Is it just me, or is the Seven Deadly Sins theory really inconsistent? Everyone thought they had nailed down the sins with the Shadow Isles champs, then the Void champs, or now the "Darkin".

It was confirmed by Riot that TahmKench ISN'T a Darkin... He is a DEMON (a River Demon).

Sorry but it was confirmed that Tahm is not a darkin. And honestly there isn't much that supports the theory that Jax is a darkin either.

Tahm Kench is not a Darkin, neither is Jax.

I thought they already did the Seven Deadly Skins thing with the Shadow Isle champs. Kind of strange that with 5 Darkin they're doing the same thing...

It seems more logical to me that the three are not allies in the typical sense, more that they share a similar bias in their morality. I think that they might represent the absolutes in the human heart. Aatrox : only cares that people fight, not why they fight Jax : only cares that fighters use their own strengths, not those borrowed from others TahmKench : He only wants people to acknowledge their inner desires, dark or otherwise is irrelevant to him, so long as they "pay" his price

They want people and things to know what they are and to follow basic principals that they believe are right, and so they are together and do not hinder the others respective views and will even help them if it suits them to do so
