So where exactly did Swain get Beatrice and his morphing powers from?

Or do you think that these details will come too with the Noxus lore update? Because I recently started playing him and it got me all curious about him but the lore is so empty. You don't simply come back with a broken leg, having some mutant crow or whatever bird with you which is your friend/helper while having the power to transform into some demonic creature yourself.

Seriously not trying to deter away from OP's topic but I would like to remind the community that Swain really isn't the only champ from Noxus nor the only interesting one.

For weeks now its been either Swain this or Swain that. At this rate the community will exhaust everything that could be said, shared and upvoted long before he even gets his LU. Then rinse and repeat for Swain VGU hype 10+ months from now. And yeah I completely understand why he's become the top gossip but where is the 101 discussions for Vladimir? No back to back threads about the Black Rose, shower thoughts on Talon or really significant questions like, what is a Boram Darkwill?

Edit: just so ppl are fully aware I love Swain and I admire the trending interest in him. This is not a shit post, just my random ramblings. Anyway, carry on Swain posting.

Edit2: Ah thats awkward, a day later and Reav3 announces Swain's VGU is after Eve's. Ik ppl where thinking it would be soon and so was I. But I wasnt holding my breath over it.

Until said otherwise, I will believe Beatrice is a demon Swain entered a faustain bargain with for power.

Old lore, suggest that Beatrice is some kind of demon that Swain gave something in exchange for his power. New lore doesn't give us any specifics other than Swain is a descendant of the Vastayan. I'd imagine that his Warlock magic has augmented his Vastayan powers; which would explain why his Bird form looks more demonic than any other Vastayan champ in the game.

My loose theory on Beatrice is that she is still a demon that Swain traded something for his powers. What I want to think is that somehow he's bargained some of his Vastayan blood for that power, giving Beatrice the crow form she, or it, has taken. In exchange for giving essence of his Vastayan power, he got his warlock abilities to do what he does in game.

im really excited to see what they do - nervous but also excited, although i dont think his new lore will answer a whole lot, in fact i think we'll find we have more questions than before. by his very nature he's a very mysterious character, the only one more mysterious really is jax

So even if it is Vastayan blood, I still don't understand how did he break his leg?

His interactions with Rakan seem to suggest he was offered and/or possesses vastayan blood, allowing him to take the shape of a humanoid raven (much like the pig-man in Eduard Santangelo's vastaya field journal).
