Ivern's Lore - It ruins him.

So what we got from Ivern in his teasers, his vocals, and just plain appearance was a character full of whimsy, carefree, and utterly enigmatic, with a touch of faerie lunacy. What his lore did, at least the beginning with him being a bloodthirsty asshole bent on ruining everything in Ionia and becoming a destructive force like that he was seeking to resist, was ruin him. It stripped his inherent insanity and made him just another empowered human. It removed him from the realm of myth and faerie tales and anchored him too much into reality. Where he should have been akin to one of the faeries that Lulu met in her secret glade, he's just a former human who's lost touch with the world and become a strange guardian. Ivern was set up to be this great mythical creature similar to Bard, but a native inhabitant of Runeterra. Instead, he isn't, and the enigma and whimsy is lost when you remember who he was once and that it is what drives him to be what he wants to be. He should operate in the name of nature alone, he should have been a creature of nature, it's always protector, not some step in protector from the world of man. This is what is disappointing about his lore, his orignition from mankind.
