The Darkins - Who are they?

http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Aatrox_0.jpg

As most of you know by now, Aatrox is the first Darkin we know about. Or is he?

This thread will mostly discuss the "Living weapons theory" but will include bits from around the world of Runeterra.

Aatrox The Darkin Blade

The living emobdiment of bloodlust and war. League's own "God of War". When he was revealed, so was the concept of the Darkin to us mortals. We know Aatrox strives to see the world in conflict. We know he cares about leaving a legacy of war. We also know, that he is using a Living Weapon, as stated by his lore: "his body and blade moving in unison as if one being", This is also supported by his in game animation, and the fact that his swords directly affects his own life force via Blood Thirst / Blood Price. Not much else is knows about him, only that there are 5 Darkins left, and that only 3 of them are known in the history of Runeterra.

So who are they?!

My thoughts? Well, there are a two conditions:

1. Must have a living weapon / artifact.
2. Must hold some power, some motivation for itself, and it's holder.

So, the first one, to no ones surprise, is:

Varus The Arrow of Retribution

Holds what seems to be a living bow, capable of producing arrows from thin air. What's makes him a candidate of being a Darkin? Or more correctly, his Bow? Well, we know Varus was once human, and after Noxus murdered his family, he sought to the corruption. The corruption is a living organism, known by the fact that it has corrupted Varus, but to an extent where it can use his motivation for revenge, to spread further. The Bow is in fact, The Bow of Corruption. It seeks to blight the world, and everyone in it. Represented by "Blight" and "Chain of Corruption" (W and R respectively).

This leaves us with a question - Who (or what) is the third Darkin?!

Well, after examining the champion roster, I have concluded that the following champions are NOT Darkin:

Shaco - A demon, not a Darkin. Tahm Kench - A demon. Beatrice (Swains bird) - mind controls a souless body, a demon). Wukong - Weapon is magical, not living.

Then who is?!

Sona Maven of the Strings

How come you may ask? Well, even though the institue of war and all league judgements are retconned, the facts still remain: Etwahl (Sona's instrument) KILLED her adopting mother, by it's own will. Her Ultimate "Crecendo" takes control of the listeners, making them do as the Etwahl pleases. During Sona's youth, she appeared out of no where, with the Etwahl next to her, and any attempt at removing it from her side failed. It kept coming back ON IT'S OWN. In my opinion, the Etwahl connected to the infant Sona, and took control of her. Removing her ability to speak, forcing her to use it to communicate, and spread it's sounds - to spread the seeds of CONTROL over people, Essentially, The Etwahl of Control*. The Etwahl seeks to Control as many individuals as possible, forcing them to obey it's commands. It basically controls Sona to an extend (like Varus's Bow).

Note: Did any of you notice her dead eyes in the splash art? I believe it has to do with the Etwahl controlling her partially.

What do you think? Could it be that the living weapons, or artifacts more correctly, are in fact the Darkins? Could it be The Sword of Bloodlust, the Bow of Corruption, and the Etwahl(?) of Control? Do you think someone else is the Darkin and this was a steamy pile of BS?
