How does Swain fit in with leagues demon lore so far?

While I like new Swain's game-play design conceptually, I'm far more interested in the lore surrounding his powers. Swain lost his arms in Ionia & gained a demonic arm that's the center of all his abilities. The fact that his powers are demonic in nature throws him into this small but growing pool of champions who are/related to demons, Evelynn & Tahm Kench are are actual demons born through human nature, Nocturn if I remember correctly was revealed to be a demon in a short story, & Shaco is the DEMON JESTER.

So while these four are demonic beings Swain is still mostly human (all but his arm). So my thoughts are he is either being turned into a demon through his experiences in Ionia, or he made a deal with a demon to gain his new arm & powers, & if the latter, what kind of demon was it?

I'm curious what other people think. Tell me your thoughts.

Overall I wonder what was the deal that he made with the demon? I mean at this point it looks like demons are evil spirits that hurt others because they enjoy it,but who are bound by some rules(eve has to be touched by someone who desires her & Tahm has to make a deal with someone),so why would the demon give Swain her(assuming that the demon will be Beatrice) power?

Will the demon take over Swains body eventually and thus gain a physical body without being bound by rules? Is the demon fed the souls that the ravens collect?

Very interesting but we need to wit for him to be released because then the lore will hopefully be updated

Im not religious but I know demons exist and riot games works close with them

All the new champs and the reworked ones have connections to demons.

Kayn, Varus. Evelynn is a succubus etc many more.

Zoe is pretty evil and sick if you understand her.

Poor annie lol.

Item names are actually demon name. Abbadon for example is a powerful demon.

Hope u guys understand what you are saying/spell ing / casting to yoir world.

Little children who play this game unintentionally summon demons
