News Letter of Thresh The Chain Warden

And
Lucian The Purifier
 Who is Thresh?
Thresh is an ambitious and restless spirit of
the Shadow Isles. He use to sought a pow-
er greater than life or death, but now sus-
tains himself by tormenting and breaking
others with slow, excruciating inventive-
ness His victims suffer far beyond their
brief mortal coil as Thresh wreaks agony
upon their souls, imprisoning them in his
unholy lantern to torture for all eternity.
Origin of Thresh (Part1)
In an age history has all but for-
gotten, the man who would later
be known as Thresh was once a
member of an order devoted to
gathering and protecting
knowledge. The masters of this
order tasked him with guarding a
hidden underground vault filled
with dangerous and corrupted
magical artifacts. Thresh was in-
credibly strong-willed and me-
thodical, which made him well-
suited to such work. The vault
Thresh guarded was filled with
dark spells and artifacts spending
such time in the presence of dark
spells began to affect Thresh as
the magic sought out his innate
malice. Thresh's spite surfaced
through wanton acts of cruelty as
his talent for exploiting vulnera-
bility bloomed. He slowly tore
pages out of a living book, bind-
ing it back together when it was
all but spent.
 Thresh Origin (part 2)
Thresh became exquisitely skilled at covering all evidence of his cruelty, such that
no one in the order suspected he was anything other than a disciplined guard.
The vault had grown so vast that no one knew its contents as completely as
Thresh, and the lesser artifacts faded from the order's memory, as did Thresh
himself. But one day a chained man was dragged into the sunken catacombs. He
was a warlock who had infused his body with raw sorcery, which gave him the
power to regenerate his flesh, no matter how grievous the wound. Thresh was
delighted at his new ward - a being who could feel the full range of human suffer-
ing, but would not perish, a plaything he could torment for years to come. He
started methodically separating the warlock's skin from his flesh with a hook, and
used his chains to lash and tear the open wound until it healed. He took to wear-
ing the chains as he patrolled the vault, reveling in the warlock's fear at the long,
dragging sound of his approach. When the disaster known as the Ruina-
tion struck , magical shockwaves claimed the lives of all who lived on the isles
and transformed them into a state of undeath. However Thresh was different he
rose from this cataclysm as a spectral abomination, but unlike those who have
passed into the shadow world, Thresh did not lose his identity. Rather, his pen-
chant for cruel torture and ability to discern weakness was only heightened. He
relished the chance to continue his cruelty without fear of reprisal, unfettered by
the limits of mortality. As a wraith, Thresh could torment the living and the dead
endlessly, delighting in their despair before claiming their soul for an eternity of
suffering. Thresh now seeks only particular victims: the most clever and resilient,
and those with a strong will. His greatest joy comes from tormenting his victims
until they lose any last glimmer of hope, before facing the inevitable hook of
his chains.
 Who is Lucian
Once a Sentinel of Light, Lucian is a
grim hunter of undying spirits, pursu-
ing them relentlessly and annihilating
them with his twin relic pistols. Con-
sumed by the need to avenge his dead
wife, he will not rest until Thresh, the
specter who holds her soul, is de-
stroyed. Merciless and single-minded,
Lucian allows nothing to stand in the
path of this vengeance—anyone or an-
ything foolish enough to try is blown
away by an overwhelming barrage of
magical gunfire.
Origin of Lucian
Lucian wields relic weapons imbued
with ancient power and stands a stal-
wart guardian against the undead.
His cold conviction never wavers,
even in the face of the maddening
horrors he destroys beneath
his hail of purifying fire. Lucian walks
alone on a grim mission: to purge the
spirits of those ensnared in undeath,
his eternal beloved among them.
Like the twin relic weapons they
wielded, Lucian and his wife Senna
were carved from the same stone.
Together they battle evil in Runeterra
for years. Though Lucian and Senna
witnessed terror that would break
most warriors, nothing they had
seen compared to the horrors
wrought by the Shadow Isles. It
was grim work, but the fearless pair
prevailed until one tragic encounter
with the soul-collector Thresh.
 Origin of Lucian (part 2)
Lucian and Senna had faced such
nightmarish undead before, but nev-
er one so deviously clever and cruel.
As the terrible battle unfolded,
Thresh sprung an unexpected ploy.
To Lucian's horror, the creature
tricked Senna and ensnared her
soul, trapping her in a spectral pris-
on. Nothing could bring her back.
Senna was lost, and for the first
time, Lucian faced his mission alone.
After that tragedy Lucian became a
man of dark determination, one
who would stop at nothing to purge
the undead from the face of
Runeterra. In honor of Senna's
memory, he took up her fallen
weapon and vowed to see their mis-
sion through to the end. Now wield-
ing both relic weapons, Lucian fights
to slay the undead and cleanse the
