What do we know about the Baccai?

We know that they are individuals who failed in the Ascension process. Other than this, I have seen very little about them.

Did they become chimeras? Did they remain human? Did they gain power? Did they go insane? Were they outcast? Slaughtered? The lack of information regarding them in the Shuriman lore (as far as I've read) makes me believe that either the concept is underdeveloped as of now or that they have been purposely left out due to being some kind of taboo in the culture.

I've seen some assert that Xerath could be considered Baccai, but it seems to be widely agreed upon that he is just an unconventional Ascended.

Has there been an AMA or something that I've missed that has explained the concept a bit further or are we all left in the dark?

We don't really have any info on Baccai yet, although there will undoubtedly be a champ released sometime in the future. People thought Xerath and Cassiopeia were ones but Xerath is more of an overloaded ascension than a failed one and Cass is affected by ancient magic that was assumed to be an ascendant turned Darkin called Naganeka

They are horrific mistakes and mostly useless, most likely killed out of pity shortly after their Ascension. Baccai is the word for a failed Ascension, if they were in anyway useful and had powers, they wouldn't be considering failures so a champ based on them is unlikely.

A Rioter has mentioned this. Let me see if I can find it. EDIT: I can't find it.

Xerath is the Ascension process going ham and giving more than it should for longer than it should. He's a successful one, too successful.

They could use the unexplored concept to make a new champion which I think would be really cool

Almost nothing. I assume Shurima would not want word to spread that their Ascensions are not so perfect after all, so mercy-killing seems like the way to go.
