Do Malzahar and Kassadin know each other?

Just curious if these 2 know each other. I’ve recently over the last few months started getting more into the lore as things have been updated and expanded. I dont exactly remember both of their purposes but they were both corrupted by the void.

Malzahar is the high priest of a cult dedicated to worshipping the Void. Kassadin is an enemy of the Void, and hunts the creatures it creates. They're both corrupted, but use their powers for different purposes.

They were rivals in the old lore, where Malzahar sacrificed Kassadin's daughter (now implied to be Kai'Sa) to the Void.

Yes, but in the new lore, they don't know each other, and Riot really sterilized their rivalry. Now, Malzahar just opened a void hole in Kassadin's village for the hell of it, which is how Kai'Sa got trapped for 10 years. Since Kassadin's return, he's upset and seeking him out, but there is no personal relationship between them.

Their relationship boils down to this now: https://i.4pcdn.org/tv/1527848162920.jpg

And on that note, neither Kai'Sa or Kassadin in any of their lore or lines acknowledge each other as parent and child, which is another bizarre sterilization on Riot's part.

IIRC in the old lore they were enemies and Malzahar was even responsible for the disappearance of Kassadin's daughter.

In the new lore... I don't know. Kassadin has heard of a weirdo leading people into Icathia and speaking of the Void as if it is salvation, and he is very much opposed to the agenda of this mad Shuriman... but the rest is yet to be confirmed.

Wait so Kassadin has been touched by the void but isnt bad? Hes against the void?

Yeah, think Darth Vader, his inspiration. Vader was corrupted by the dark side, but it never fully corrupted, so there was good left in him. Kassadin is a step further in that he didn't commit evil deeds, despite having been partially corrupted, and uses his corruption to fight that same evil.

Thats a good way to put it! Nice!

Of course he's against the Void. Read his bio/short story.

In that moment, Kassadin swore that he would avenge his wife and daughter, by destroying this insidious Prophet, and the source of his abyssal power. He was a man who had made his living by finding safe paths through the most dangerous places, and resolved to arm himself with the most arcane and esoteric weapons ever known in Valoran, fused with Zaunite ingenuity, and blessed by Ionian spirit-healers. He called in every favor he could, from scholars of antiquities to common smugglers, for their help in… acquiring what he sought. Many called him a madman, believing this the last time they would ever see their old friend alive—Kassadin merely thanked them for their concern, and bid them farewell. He would face the Void alone.

The Prophet refers to Malzahar.

What can you tell me about all the aspects of Targon? Are there more out there we dont know of? Are they stronger than ascended or darkin?

Blood Magicks1 votes

It is likely that there are more than the ones we know of and yes, they are more powerful than the Ascended/Darkin.

That's wrong. On Reddit during the Aatrox AMA it was stated the Ascended are more powerful because the ritual they use takes more celestial power direct from the source than an Aspect allows his host to have

That means (Nasus Renekton Azir Xerath ) are stronger than (Leona Diana Taric )

We aren't sure about Pantheon or Zoe because the former works differently than the other aspects taking control of the host entirely and Zoe has some reality bending powers that may make her more powerful than the Ascended

I stand corrected then, though in my defense I was thinking of Zoe when answering.

Keystone Cowboyz1 votes

I just want Taric and all his beauty to kill some darkin and ascended lol

Keystone Cowboyz1 votes

So Zoe can kill Aatrox, Varus or even Xerath?

mrmeddyman1 votes

He knows of him I think OP was asking if they have met personally like they did in old lore
