Jax and irelia are related theory

Im going to be putting the references up here first because you need to read them to understand what I am talking about.

(I would post Jax's background but its heavily outdated, no longer considered cannon, and needs a revamp, and considering Jax is from Ionia the old lore REALLY doesn't make any sense now.)

Irelia's league judgement: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=339174&page=1#post4041504 Irelia's backstory: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Irelia/Background

So for review, Master Lito was the head of the Hiten Household in Ionia. Legend says that weapons would breath under his grasp. The swordplay style was so powerful ruling classes sought to learn the secrets from him. Yet he only taught his daughter Irelia, and his son Zelos the art. His weapon of choice however was the weapon we see Irelia wielding currently in game.

An important thing to notice from the league Judgement is that Master Lito used knives, and Zelos tossed Irelia a rapier, Zelos wielding a different type of sword (mini Katana?) and Master Lito's weapon is the 4 pronged blade. This shows that Hiten isn't a specific style for a specific weapon but as it says before is more about making the weapons live while in one's possession. Which means he would be proficient at all weapons, I guess you could says its a grand master at arms style.

Unfortunately for him "He withered unexpectedly from a mysterious disease which baffled the brightest of Runeterran physicians." Leaving both Irelia and Zelos behind. While we don't have much information about what happened with his death aside from him withering. It leaves many questions, such as what if the physicians were looking at it the wrong way. What if it wasn't a disease, but instead a curse?

Now I have to take us to the lore of 2 different champions to help me continue this theory. Aatrox and Tryndamere. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/tryndamere/ and this quote "Tryndamere, my greatest creation"

It seems Aatrox knew what he was creating with Tryndamere as he forced death upon the young man, that instead brought about a monster. But the reason behind it seems obvious Aatrox is seeking for a rival that can give him the battle he wants. In Jax's splash art we see a Darkin ominously standing behind him alluding to the fact that he was also touched by the corrupt hand of a Darkin. I feel in the same way that Tryndamere was put on the verge of death to be transformed, Master Lito was also struck down by a Darkin to be another "creation". This Darkin saw something of interest in Lito causing him to want to change him like Aatrox did Tryndamere.

A huge question could be, "Why the lamp post?". I might be going for a stretch here but since the art style of Hiten is causing the weapons to breath in one's grasp, it would make sense that anything considered a "weapon" is acceptable. I mean he does say "imagine if I had a real weapon", not "imagine if I had a weapon", and with a lamp post it would help draw away suspicion that Jax in fact uses Hiten style since the fire in the lamp post breathing upon his empowered strike could be dismissed as simple magic enhancement, and its not a sword by any means. Which most people think Hiten is limited to swordplay only.

Is it any wonder why Jax is always enveloped in cloth? The fact his face mask is oddly familiar to Yi's? The fact nobody knows who Jax really is, and only appearing "recently" helps to allude to this. Irelia does say in her judgement "I thank you for allowing me to set eyes on my family again, but my father would never have let us land a blow. He joined the Elders by staying dry on this very roof during a rainstorm. " 2 whole allusions to dodge which Jax is the master at. How about the similarities of Irelia and Jax's kit? Mostly I want to focus on both of their W abilities, both of which "breath life" into their weapons empowering them in combat.

He is technically from Ionia too! http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/jax/

The only issues I see now is, would irelia not notice jax's voice, and the lack of rival/friend status for irelia. However currently jax is so outdated that we can't be sure if this position will actually hold. It just seems a bit too connected for me to shake this feeling, but alas its just a theory, and we need to await for information from riot to see if this theory still stands i know this is out dated and it doesnt refer to the new lore im couting the old lore so yeah i know im wrong but fun theory? also think of jaxes e stun/dodge irelia e stun/slow they have 2 sides 1 is same look at there q dash and dash and remember w.

Jax is Icathian as far as we know.

http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_GB/story/jax-color-story/

And also probably changed by the Void.

Jax isn't even human. He's got 2 fingers and a thumb.
