When the ruination happened, what happened to the mage whose flesh kept regenerating?

Wasn't thresh torturing the first human him when they brought him in for imprisonment? Is he still in the lower quarter of that Order? I wonder what happened to that guy.

Given how the Ruination is corrupt life energy and the like it probably gave no shits about flesh regeneration and just straight up killed him.

He didn't seem immortal maybe? idk, but I'm sure he is some far twisted monstrosity just waiting to be uncovered. Elise better tread carefully

Even if your body heals physical wounds, there are other ways to die.

Kindred "There are so many ways to die."

But yeah, even if your flesh regenerates, your soul can still be ripped out of your body. He's probably in Thresh's lantern.

But now I'm wondering if there's some un-destroyable zombie out there.

Like killing every single cell in your body or just shooting someones head because memories don't heal

That really depends on how the regeneration effect works.

If it's biological (wolverine) then regeneration happens on the cellular or sub cellular level and requires some materials and energy. If wolverine stopped eating and got hurt, he would eventually lose his ability to regenerate. Depending on how much he got hurt, this may happen before he actually starves to death. Since cells can be motivated after brain function ceases, this also explains how wolverine can heal from "instant-death" wounds (stabbing the heart, brain damage, etc)

If it's a magical effect (as in thresh's lore) then a whole other mess of problems arises. Most of these depend on what the rules of magic are in the universe and how the magic actually works. If magic must consume some energy to work, then it could be very similar to wolverine's mutation - as long as your body has energy, the magic heals it. If the magic is an outside source that doesn't require energy, then any limitations is has depend on how specific the spell is.

In this case, it sounds like the prisoner has some sort of outside magic that does not require energy but only affects parts that are still attached to him (if you rip off skin, the skin won't do anything, but the body will regrow the skin). In this case, it would be impossible to kill all his cells, since they would just reanimate. Damaging his memories may or may not be possible, depending on how the magic heals. If it regenerates the brain tissue to the exact same state, down to the neural connections, the memories should be intact.

I think there is no physical way to kill this person (aside from reducing him to his base elements in a nuclear blast, sending him to the sun or into a black hole) - you have to resort to means outside physics as we know it. Either removing his soul, stopping the magical regeneration effect (either directly or by finding any limitations it has) or using other magic to obliterate him in some manner.

Man I am just picturing this walking grotesque twisted by the magic of the Ruination. His body healing wounds that never were, causing him to scab over and grow flesh over flesh. Bulging pustules of human skin dragging behind him, dripping off his skeleton.

I'd think that would be a terrifying awesome champion except it's really just a far more metal version of Zac.

Yeah I wonder about that too,he sounds like a character that could be easily brought back either as a champion(the question is how would you do an undying champion?) or at least as an NPC

I imagine that he might be in a constant state of decay and regeneration,which is actually kinda similar to old Trundle

Maybe not a champion, but i feel if u wonder too long around the Order's temple( and live) you may find him unshackled and some nightmare. I only ask because I was under the impression he was immortal, granted im not sure how an immortal could live through the mist with out his mind getting corrupted or not

He would sure make a nice unique jungle monster on Twisted Treeline. A Gromp of sort... eh, i'll better let Riot decide about that.

his mind was already twisted by thresh tho

The Shadow Isles would make a perfect place for a dark RPG game

Yea! Just like some other areas of runeterra. It could be like a level 50- 60 required area for an mmorpg.

He goes full-deadpool.

The mist tries to kill him, but his regeneration flushes it out too quickly. But not quickly enough to get 100% rid of it. This result is quite a grotesque and probaly insane...

old Trundle

hie flesh rengens but i dont think he is immortal i think the mist would have changed hitb power so that flesh decays around him including his own
