Is Jax related to the Darkin and if so, how [Lore Spoilers]

So we know that with the release of Kayn also comes Rhaast, a Darkin inside the scythe he wields.

We know Rhaast firmly believes Varus may be a darkin from how he interacts with him. We know there may be at least 5 known Darkin left. What I find odd is if you look at Jax's Champion page banner, you can see what appears to be Aatrox (But it doesnt actually look like Aatrox. More like Rhaast honestly thinking about it) standing behind him http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/jax/

We know Jax and the Darkin share at least one thing in common

The Darkin appear in times of great war to help the losing side Jax is a soldier for hire with immense skill

Jax was also so great with a weapon, he was actually restrained to use a lamp post because of his skill.

Could Jax be related or have a connection with the Darkin and if so, what is it?

Actually it was said that there are 5 in total,with 3 being known to history and 2 hidden from history. So these 5 include already every "unknown" darkin.

No,thats just Aatroxs personal thing,because he represents war and likes to have a challenging battle.

If anything I'd say that Jax is an enemy of the darkin. Him being one doesn't make much sense since he is from icathia,seems to be a rather good person and is known to have mastered all weapons,so it'd be weird for Jax to be a weapon himself.

Maybe Jax killed a few darkins?Like I said,he mastered every weapon and we see with Kayn that "mastering" the darkin scythe means to destroy the darkin inside.

First we actully do know where Jax originated from, he's an Icathian who is around the same age as Ryze. The reason why he's so mutated is because of the Void magic that's also keeping him alive.

So no Jax is not a Darkin as confirm in his color story.

What if... Jax is the responsible of the... "Darkin Extinction"?

Let me explain: It seems that Darkins are some race of "Parasite" Weapons that take over a host in order to live. We know that there are only 5 Darkins left, that means that there were more of them at some point... But what happened to those Darkins?

Some people tought that the Darkins were a powerfull race that destroyed itself with wars and things like that... But i think that the answer was given with the release of Kayn: Dakins can die if the host is powerfull enough.

So, what if Jax is literally the Master of Weapons? What if he actually managed to master all of the Darkin Weapons (or at least many of them)? He took over the power of the Darkins until only 5 of them were left.

Due that, there is one Darkin that wants to take revenge, and that darkin is the one that is seen in the background.

Of course that is only my theory.

Could be possible. Jax may have just had a stronger will and resolve than they thought.

You will have to wait around 5 years+ until he gets his update to find out
