Is Tahm Kench a Void champion?

I was reading some of the lore about The Void on the wiki, when I came across something that interested me:

"All five known Voidborn seem to have a hunger that they must satisfy, and possess apostrophes in their names:

Cho'Gath revels in fear and mayhem and depravity. Kha'Zix craves biological perfection. Kog'Maw simply wants food, albeit endlessly. Rek'Sai hunts those who cross her domain relentlessly. Vel'Koz seeks omniscience."

This got me thinking: Tahm Kench also devours things, and shares a similar name to most of the Voidborn

While Tahm lacks an apostrophe, he does hunger for well, everything, similar to Kog'Maw. But his name could VERY easily contain an apostrophe to make him sound like a Voidborn, like "Tahm'Kench" Or shortened to fit in with the others like "Tom'Knch". He looks very monstrous in appearance, like most of the other things from the void, and seems to be almost a distant ancestor of them. And if you pay attention to his voice lines, he has one of the widest vocabularies in the game "I refuse to succumb to culinary degradation!" "Let us eat voraciously and overindulge." "We all gormandize from time to time.", etc. His vocabulary, plus with his cunning and trickery towards the desperate, means that he is probably more intelligent then most champions. The Voidborn are known to have quite high levels of intelligence (Well, most of them. Cho'Gath and Vel'Koz appear quite intelligent, Kha'Zix would likely meet that level of intelligence with enough adapting, Kog'Maw is still an infant, and Rek'Sai is pretty much the Gnar of Voidborn)

Am I onto something here, or am I a madman?

TK is stated to be a demonic creature, has nothing to do with the world the Void creatures come from.

When TK was released it was stated that he is not from the void. He is a demon,who simply represents,gluttony and the vices of humanity and he existed for a very long time now(he might be among the oldest champions of all),which is why he sees most champs like children(though he sees aatrox as an equal)

Tahm is, like said below, a demon. The Void is extradimensional, and their champs are usually designed to look very alien and somewhat insectoid.

He's very well traveled and intelligent because he's been around for so long, he's been everywhere.
