Are we getting closer to "C"?

Variks the Loyal·May 14, 2015·87 votes·10,150 views

So, as we all know, "C", in Caitlyns lore, was a cat burglar she could never catch, the only criminal in Piltover (Except Jinx, assuming), that she couldn't track down.

Well, Ekko's come out, and we've found out he, Jinx, and Vi were a part of the same gang. If you look closely, on Ekko's blade, there's a roman numeral XII, or twelve. Take a look.

Although probably unintentional, the X in Jinx's name could mean 10, but that's grasping at straws.

And, as we know, Vi took her post-amnesia name after the VI tattoo on her face, meaning 6.

C is a roman numeral too, meaning 100. Could the mysterious "C" be the leader of this old Zaun gang? Or at least an important member?

Caitlyn's judgment her and C are in the same room at one point. Honestly though riot has literally not touched C at all since Caitlyns release so i doubt they're going to bring him back now. Especially since all ties we have between jinx vi and ekko are pure speculation at this point.

I don't think you should take the judgements literally. Irelia kills her dead father in hers.

I'm still convinced it is Twisted Fate. Who else could outrun Cait while being smooth as F**k.

Jinx actually signed her name as "X" when she was initially teased

Ekko 12 Jinx 10 Vi 6

C would be 100, aka the leader of the gang

Hopefully hes a badass

Just going to say something to see if this'll blow anyones mind.

C is Caitlyn's archenemy. C is hundred. Jinx signs her name with an X. This was seen on Vi's vandalized champion page before Jinx was announced. Vi was called "Six" during her announcement by players. If you were to put "C", "X," and "VI" together is CXVI, which is 116. That's Jinx's release number.

Though, throwing in Ekko, which is XII, is interesting. Ekko release number will be 125. C, X, XII, VI don't equal 125 in any manner.

Maybe Jinx was the leader, and after VI leaved the gang, Ekko became the leader. But what if Jayce was Ekkos big brother aka the co-leader of the Gang??????????????++

Being as the lore states that Jayce has lived in Piltover his whole life, and Ekko dislikes those from Piltover... no.

Jinx Signs her name as an X, actually, it's definitely not grasping at straws.

DeliothMay 16, 20151 votes

At the same time, though, 'X' has traditionally also been a way to sign for people who don't know how to sign their name, i.e. mostly illiterate people.

ElJanitorFrankMay 16, 20151 votes

It's a special kind of X, it looks sort of like 2 J's have been crossed.

GreenLoreMay 14, 20155 votes

Yeah I wonder what those roman numerals are standing for,although the question is if they indicate any rank or something.I mean C is number 100,while ekko is number 12(or maybe he just got his weapon from number 12?I mean the 12 isn't on Ekko himself,but on his weapon),which begs the question whats going on with the numbers 13-99?(as well as 11,7-9 and 1-5 and I really doubt that we'll get all of them as champs,since that would be a bit too much). Has ekko a higher rank than jinx?Or does it say anything about when he joined the gang?Is said gang even active anymore?

Though maybe the numbers themselve have no real meaning(so being number 7 isn't better or worse than being number 8,its just a codename) or indicate the category of the people(like 1-20 are street thugs,21-40 are scientists,etc.)and I kinda doubt that C would be like the big boss of the group considering that he/she sounds more like a master thief who works alone(unless C gets hit by the retcon bat)

Modern Day MidasMay 15, 20154 votes

I feel like the numbers may not have to do with a ranking system, though I feel like C is the leader if he is one of them (maybe he brought a bunch of street punks together when everyone was younger), I feel like the numbers themselves were just what they choose like kinda how the Kids Next Door cartoon worked.

EeirailMay 16, 20151 votes

Those were actually ranks... It was never really put into motion on what was best, highest, or lowest but they were in fact ranks.

and yes... I am fun at parties.

Modern Day MidasMay 16, 20151 votes

I don't really think they are ranks some maybe, but they show us in the show that when you become a member you get to choose whichever number you want. Like number 2's brother ends up choosing a letter as his number. i think some may but definitely not all

EeirailMay 17, 20151 votes

Sadly, they are, There was a movie that explained a good chunk of it, I remembered watching it with my Nephew (And by mysef on like two occasions.) It's a pretty idiotic rank system but it's certainly something children would make up.

Well it has been speculated that this person is Twisted Fate, cause CARDS, and it seems like a flirty thing that Twisted would do, knowing that Cait would find it.

EeirailMay 16, 20151 votes

It' far fetched but not a 100% failure. I could see him being C but that's a really lame reason either way. I hope that's not the case.

In Ekko's sound files he flat out says he's waiting for Vi to come back to Zaun.

luryas123Nov 16, 20152 votes

There is also some taunts between Vi and Ekko ingame that could mean Vi is or was Ekkos girlfriend? just a idea

SolekaNov 16, 20151 votes

I don't know if Ekko is hinting that Vi is his girlfriend, or if it a solidarity thing because she is from Zaun.

RalanrNov 16, 20151 votes

Plus Ekko had a crush on Jinx...before she started talking to guns.

iamthegoatofwarMay 15, 20152 votes

well if this gang has roman numerals and they're joining in order...what if C is just the 100th member of this gang? I imagine that A LOT of their people have been killed.

AtheliousMay 15, 20152 votes

Wasn't the person she could never catch Twisted Fate? Because if i remember correctly there was always a card left behind and Twisted Fate always says "always on the run" would also make sense because i am assuming as soon as she got close to him he would just teleport away.

BorblandMay 15, 20152 votes

It reminders me of a comic called "XIII" when the hero wakes up amnesiac, with the only clue a tatoo of the number XIII on it.

Later, he finds that it belongs to the hierarchy of a mafia, where the "I" is the boos.

Looks kinda similar to Vi's lore.

PeachyBubbleStarMay 15, 20152 votes

Why do people keep saying C is he? it doesnt say it's a guy in the lore, could be a girl... just say "they" because there is no information on the gender yet... jeez

Cryptid KidMay 15, 20151 votes

Because typically, gang leaders have been in their position for a LONG time, which is why they are the leader. We can probably imagine a woman being the leader of a gang now, but back when the gangs were created, everything was dominated by males, so the leader of that gang would probably be a male.

Even though the lore doesn't follow human history, we don't have enough knowledge or experience with the lore to completely change our assumptions. Until it is shown otherwise, I will probably assume that they gang leader is male.

UomoAfideMay 16, 20151 votes

Well, the concept of thieves as being pretty low in criminal society might be true, but we should remember that we are talking about a gang made of children raised on the street (orphans most likely), so the idea of a thief trying to use his skills for the sake of his "brothers and sisters" like maybe, i don't know, stealing food and clothes might be a good theory in my opinion. I have the feeling that this "gang" might be like some sort of family for all kinds of children unable to look out for themselves. My theory is that C might be some sort of paternal figure, or, more likely an Older Brother for all the kids. Obviously this is all but just mere speculation, i'm just glad this new lore put the background community on active state again, it is always nice to discuss.

GreenLoreMay 17, 20151 votes

It'd be cool if we got the whole gang as champs,but I doubt that they'd release that many champs for them,I mean 6 would have been possible,but 10 or even 12 sounds a bit too much for a subgroup of champs(I am assuming here that C would be some kind of special rank and not that there were actually 100 people in that gang)

luryas123Nov 16, 20151 votes

Maybe Oriannas dad Corin is "C"?
