Zed's Students in League of Legends

Does Zed have any lieutenants worthy enough to join the Fields of Justice on their own?

I touched on this lightly before, but Zed remains the leader and most powerful among the Order of Shadows, and this is intentional. He wants to remain the master of his students. None shall be his equal. -Riot Runaan

There's another post I cant find, but a red somewhere states that one of his students would never join the league and that only Zed would represent them. If any were strong enough to compete in the League as a champion, they COULD potentially rival him or split off and create their own order and that he wouldnt allow any of them to become that strong.

But now....the League doesnt exist.

In essence, ANY character could be a champion in League of Legends now. This gives room for the Order of Shadows to expand beyond a single character to in fact being an organization with several known characters in it.

I think the problem with zeds students is more of a meta one.

Zed teaches his students the same techniques he himself uses,so if one of his students would become a character it'd make sense for them to be yet another shadow using ninja.

This gives us a problem in terms of diversity. I mean sure zeds student could use his/her powers in a different way than Zed,but that alone isn't enough to set that champ apart from zed. When a champ is created they are supposed to be something unique,so Zed is not merely a shadow-master,but he is THE shadow master.

Maybe a particularly ambitious student quickly rises in strength. Noticing he may one day surpass him, Zed takes this one under his wing to keep close watch over the student while intentionally inhibiting him in certain areas so he doesn't become to strong. This student quickly becomes a powerful warrior wielding some unique form of the shadow while also being well integrated into the Order of Shadow's ways thanks to Zed. He is often sent lone on missions to sabotage, or gather information from the clan's enemies, warning the order of their enemy's next possible moves. However, one day, he finds something that grants him a great amount of power, unlocking his full potential. Zed finds out, and attempts to have him assassinated during a suicide mission.

The assassins fail and the student escapes, learning of what was suppose to happen. He quickly tears through the Order of Shadow's ranks to confront Zed one on one. During this fight, when the two seem head to head, a hidden order member fires a poison dart at him. It grazes the pupil, but still leaves its poison. He scrambles to escape and blacks out. When he wakes up, he's being nursed back to health in a strange village...

Wow, that was long. :P
