Aatrox, Bard, Tahm Kench, and Tryndamere.

This article is mostly speculation about how are all related. Let's start with how Tryndamere is obviously half Darkin. tl;dr Trynda got stabbed by Aatrox and now hes a darkin.

As stated in Tryndamere's lore, this happened: Raiders ambushed Tryndamere's clan in the dead of night, and though his warriors were able to push the first wave of attackers back, they weren't prepared for the dark figure that next stepped forth. He wielded a cruel, living sword, and inspired an unhinged bloodlust in the invaders with his unearthly magic. Tryndamere's tribe was overrun within moments. With no hope of defeating the enigmatic being, Tryndamere threw himself at certain death. The dark figure swatted him aside, mortally wounding the young barbarian.

Ok, so what does this mean? Aatrox stabs a lot of people with his sword in the league random battle, how come every champion isn't a darkin?

This dialog happens between and when they met for the first time

"Tryndamere, my greatest creation." "OMG, dad ur embarassing me!"

Just kidding, only Aatrox speaks.

This still doesn't explain why every champ in the League random battle isn't a darkin.

I'll tell you why. Aatrox wants Tryndamere to become a darkin like him.

I know some of you are thinking: " + =baby " That might happen.

But I digress. Lets talk about how the darkin are connected to Tahm Kench and Bard now.

[Part 2]

Let's start with Tahm Kench because Tahm has voicelines, while Bard does not, and since he is a "celestial", he may not be a darkin. I think that the Darkins used to be a race that represented all 7 sins, Wrath, Pride, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, and Greed. Tryndamere is probably Wrath, like Aatrox. Since Tahm Kench has an appetite that cannot be sated, I think that he is Gluttony. "Well, Bard doesn't fit in with the seven shins!" (please rito we want ao shin) You know the story of how Soraka got turned into a mortal, but she was a celestial before? Think of Bard, but the opposite. I think that Bard may have been Lust or Pride because of how loud he is, but I'm not really sure. Back to Tahm Kench!

Tahm Kench says that Aatrox is his brother, and while he may not actually mean it like he is Aatrox's kin, he doesn't say Brother to anyone else.
