Friendship of Shaco, Fiddlesticks and Nocturne Theory

It seems particularly interesting that these champions are friends. Aside from their tendencies to murder and terrify their victims, why else would they consider each other as acquaintances? The thing that I have realized is that, these champions' personalities play off each other.

**Short Bio Summaries **

: The Eternal Nightmare Nocturne's personality is quite cynical, sarcastic. Quite understandable since he was trapped by Summoners and became a prisoner of the league. He describes humans as "fleshbags". Although not much is stated about where Noc is from, it's clear that he sees humans as a blight. He doesn't kill people for money or pleasure, but rather for his own obligation. He sees humanity, especially Summoners, as pests and he's the exterminator.

: The Demon Jester Shaco's an entirely different animal. Whether you think Shaco's an actual Demon, a human assassin or humanity's darkest fear incarnate, it's clear that he loves his job. He's the kind of person who would kill people and then laugh at how hilarious his victims look while they struggle to breathe their last breath. The money he earns from assassinations are nothing more but just bonuses for Shaco, he's only in the murder business for laughs and entertainment.

: The Harbinger of Doom While Noc views human life as a disease that he will "cure" and Shaco murders to gratify himself with the "comedy" of death, Fiddlesticks is a different case. When he was summoned in a summoning chamber in his lore, he didn't bother trying to escape and go on a rampage. He simply killed anyone who dared entered the room and was perfectly content about staying inside there for nearly 20 years. Even after he was made a champion in the league, he still returns to his chamber and guards it fervently. After observing his behaviour, it seemed like FS was very simple-minded. Although he finds pleasure in scaring people to death like Shaco, he seems be bound by a personal responsibility like Nocturne. In order to guard his summoning chamber, Fiddlesticks indiscriminately killed anyone who dared to invade his home. The reason why he is so territorial is still unknown, but it's apparent that FS is a dutiful guard with a one-track mind.

Mastermind of the Terror Trio? With these contrasting personalities in mind, how did these three champions interact with each other which led to a friendship? It all started with the Demon Jester. Shaco was responsible who sparked the friendship. He managed to convince Fiddlesticks to be his murder buddy after managing to survive when he entered Fiddlesticks' chamber. Given how easy it was the Summoners to manipulate Fiddlesticks into being their "executioner" on the Fields of Justice, Shaco would have no trouble convincing the scarecrow to serve as an ally, as he probably saw the scarecrow as a sort of kindred spirit. As for Nocturne, Shaco would have difficulty in persuading him. He told Noc about one of his exploits, similar to how he had told the reporter (Ram Steed) who interviewed him in JOJ Volume 1, Issue 13. Strangely enough, the Eternal Nightmare is actually amused by Shaco's use of colourful euphemisms to describe the gruesome, gratuitous details of his killings.

Since Nocturne was kept constantly in a prison cell when he was not summoned and Fiddlesticks rarely left the confines of his summoning chamber, Shaco served as the middle man between these two.

Plans? It is likely that Shaco could be plotting with his two fellow kindred spirits to bring about strife and discord within the IOW's walls. They would all have something to gain if they succeeded in their conspiracy: Shaco would be vastly entertained by the immense loss of life, Nocturne would get his revenge on the fleshbags who thought they could enslave him and Fiddlesticks could finally unleash the cryptic Doom that he long heralded when he was first summoned by his Zaunite master, Istvaan.

Closing Remarks: It seems to me that the relationship of Noc, Shaco and FS would function like the relationship of a comedy trio, quite fitting since Shaco would be the eccentric ringleader of the friends, Nocturne would be the cynical, straight man and Fiddlesticks would be the simple-minded fool who goes along with what his pals want to do.
