The boy in Ekko's Mural

So everyone's arguing about who he's fighting with is Sion/Urgot/Singed and that Vi's from Zaun and that he had a crush on Jinx and Jinx wasn't always crazy.

But...

It implies that the boy on the mural is dead... but does he look like Ezreal to anyone else??

Age not-withstanding, the facial similarity is uncanny. What if... That boy IS Ezreal?

But, the video implies he's dead! The video is in the slums or at least somewhere that doesn't look like a nice place to live. At any rate, Ezreal he could have run away, got kidnapped, faked his death and rather easily made himself disappear. He could have ended up in Piltover somehow.

But, there has been no references between a connection of Ezreal and Zaun before! Things can change, we don't know much about Ezreal save that he's like Indiana Jones and it says he's from Piltover. Though I've seen theories that suggest Zaun might become the slums of Piltover or a smaller city within -- but even if it didnt, he may have had an eye for progress and wanted to move on without making his friends worry so he faked his death and ran off to Piltover. There's a lot of different thigns that could have happened.

He got the glove because he's good at magaic, etc! Yeah, he did, but he could have been kidnapped for that reason too, or if he ran away it could be before he discovered he had magic. (Either on accident or something or someone taught him, we may never know.) Ezreal's lore isn't that extensive, especially on his background, they could really make him anything and keep the Indiana Jones that lives in Piltover. After all, living somewhere doesn't mean you're FROM there. (see Vi)

But the boy has Brown/black hair, Ezreal's is black! Ace of Spades Ezreal had black/brown hair and he dyed it blonde again because he looked too much like someone would recognise him! (#illuminati) No, but seriously if he IS trying to hide his identity for any reason, dying your hair is like undercover 101. Other than that, the mural is faded and like colours are often used, its possible blonde didn't show up enough against his skin and the wall so brown was used instead.

But, Ekko doesn't have any Ezreal taunts! That doesn't mean they don't or couldn't exist. They could have been recorded and not implemented into the files because they didn't want to spoil the upcoming Ezreal rework. Ezreal is an old champion with an old model, he could be changed to look like an older version of the boy (which he already does). Once he's remade he is probably going to have a lot more vocals and one might be one for Ekko and if he IS the boy in the Mural, Ekko might bring it up. (Hey! You look really familiar! I swear I've seen you before, etc)

Hmm... I think that's about all I've come up with.

Thoughts/Bashes? :P

You are forgetting that is heavily implied that the people from the mural are orphans from Zaun... However, we know that Ezreal has an uncle, an uncle from Piltover called Lyte.

Lyte... Who is this guy? the merchant of the Howling Abyss... So, what?

LYTE WAS THE FIRST PERSON THAT MENTIONED THE SISTER OF VI.

And, is speculated (some members of Riot even Confirmed) that Jinx is the sister of Vi.

So, Lyte knows Vi and Jinx and their story... why would an old man from Piltover know that?

Because his nephew, Ezreal, was friend of them.

And that is why Ekko has a picture of Ezreal, Vi and Jinx.


However, it doesn't explain why Ekko(and Jinx) has no interactions towards Ezreal if he (and she) knew him... or why Ezreal does not remember them.

In my personal opinion, i think that the guy on the wall is "C"

Or it was a kid who looked up to Ezreal, so he dressed like him, went on an adventure by himself and got himself killed.

Looks female if you ask me.

Then again Ezreal has always been a little strange lmfao

If that boy was Ezreal, Ekko would've known as he ddnt have to put a mural up for him... Because Ezreal is a famous explorer....

Sincerely doubt it, really really sincerely doubt it.

Mostly because Riot aren't showing interest for connecting champions anymore, not unless it's arbitrary (Azir/Sivir).

If they wanted Champions to have connections with each other they wouldn't rip the only thing in the setting where they would be likely to meet each other out right?

amplifying his raw sorcerous skill to such an extent that he's gained the reputation of a hero, much to his embarrassment. as said in the lore of ezreal he was never a hero until he found the magic bracer or glove it says he gain the reputation but y was he not a hero before it is very likely that the boy who "died" is Ezreal because him and vi have the same skin set debonair ezreal and debonair vi and werent they friend at the start of this? like many champs zaun could of just summoner 4 away from his past and went on to be know as ezreal. another idea i have is that when ekko went back in time trying to save zaun several of him were created and those several -1 who died in the present . lived lost in time until he found the summoners rift in the future and thats were the fight to survive started who know oen day we might have a champion who can freeze time like Zilean or who can scortch the earth like Brand league has many mysterys but mysterys are to be unsolved
