Swain - Biography - Universe of League of Legends

In the new story of Vladimir, his power is directly from darkin and he can craft flowers, butterflies...(why butterflies?) So, maybe Swain "craft" his raven. But, I am still wondering who is the demon in the story of Swain : > "Though his meticulous preparations took many years, Swain and his remaining allies seized control of Noxus in a single night. Physically restored by >>>the demon<<<, he crushed Darkwill in full view of his followers, leaving the throne shattered and empty."-Swain biography.

The demon is the raven (s). The ravens that surround Swain are the demon's... fingers, shall we say, the physical forms it takes in order to interact with and observe Runeterra, but is only a fraction of its true nature. At least, that's what I would surmise from all we know thus far.

As for why Vladimir would make butterflies, it makes a lot of sense. Butterflies, for one thing, are symbols of beauty, and likely quite rare in the barren wasteland of the Noxian capital. Their life cycle also mirrors Vlad's: a pitiful worm, that consumes things to gain the energy to eventually remold its entire body into an image of beauty, a work of art.

Nah I think based on what we know Demons are incorporeal beings that take form when negative emotions like agony or suffering are felt by so many people at once.

Twice now a demon has been created after the Rune Wars Evelynn Nocturne so if I had to hazard a guess since Swain found his demon in the Immortal Bastion I would suggest that it was created after Mordekaisers' reign of terror.

Keep in mind that Vlad most likely also has some basic knowledge in flesh magic(since the darkins were able to mold both flesh and blood),so its not unnatural for him to be able to use it to alter things.

Also the impression that I've got was that he was just breeding them.
