Why is Nasus descripted as Warrior King?

Nasus knew the magus was goading him, but his hate blinded him to all else but sundering the chains that kept the unimaginable power of Xerath’s body contained. They faced each other in the center of the city, two Ascended beings out of time; a warrior king and magus of living magic.

Questions:

  1. Setaka was also descripted as Warrior Queen of the Ascended. So, does it mean Nasus and Setaka were two of the most powerful Ascended ever existed?

  2. Both Nasus and Setake were descripted as King and Queen. Did they have any relationship beside being friends? Or are those just titles that does not explain any statue in hierarchy, like Butcher of the Sands, Curator of the Sands etc.

  3. Why is Nasus known with his warrior feature? He was the greatest tactician of Shurima. Why does not this title belong to Renekton but Nasus?

Warrior Kings and Queens seemed to have been a part of the military organisation of nations on the Southern Continent, as Icathian Warrior Kings have already been described in Renekton's short story: Darkness Renews. I'd imagine the rank of Warrior King/Queen was one for those at the height of the military, so potentially Nasus took over Setaka's role over the Ascended army (armies?) following her death.

Since the title could've been reserved for the person at the top of the military heirarchy, Renekton wouldn't have gotten such a title since he ranked below Nasus. Nasus was the one who directed him, it's even said in their bios: Nasus planned the wars and Renekton won them. It's the one who coordinates the battles who is the King/Queen in this situation.

I think it's because Nasus is both brains and brawn, he does favor strategy obviously but he seems to be a skilled warrior by combining his moderate combat skills with his cunning.
