Known by many names throughout history, the demonTahm Kenchtravels the waterways ofRuneterra, feeding his insatiable appetite with the misery of others. Though he may appear singularly charming and proud, he swaggers through the physical realm like a vagabond in search of unsuspecting prey. His lashing tongue can stun even a heavily armoured warrior from a dozen paces, and to fall into his rumbling belly is to tumble into an abyss from which there is little hope of return.

Appearance[]

Tahm Kench is a catfish-like humanoid with a large, rotund body, short, stubby limbs, and a tail. His most noticeable feature is his enormous mouth, lined with rows of countless uneven fangs and containing a long, prehensile tongue. He has a thick, mustache-like pair of catfishbarbelson his upper lip. He has shiny green skin, pale in the front with darker green markings across his back. His wide-set eyes are a sinister, solid yellow. He has three clawed fingers on each hand and four clawed toes on each foot. He also has dark red fins on his tail and elbows.

Tahm attempts to dress as a gentleman, though his clothes appear too small for his massive form, particularly the black human-sized top hat which is dwarfed by his oversized head. The hat features a dark red ribbon edge trim and a golden accessory on the side. He also wears a dark maroon dress shirt and what appears to be two overcoats (one brown and the other dark blue) stitched together into one. The sleeves are missing, seemingly unable to fit his bulky arms, but he still wears the detached cuffs on his wrists with additional wrappings on his hands. The clothes are worn and ragged with faded golden buttons. He also wears a gold ring with a green gem on his left index finger and another gold ring on his left barbel.

Personality[]

Tahm Kench is a voracious being that is constantly hungry and craves nothing more than to indulge himself with as much as he can consume. He is cruel and manipulative, taking advantage of those that are vulnerable to make them make deals with him, using an affable façade to trick others into trusting him, using their desires to lure them to their doom.

Relations[]

Runeterra[]

Tahm Kenchknowsa lot of champions (both as fellows and adversaries, those who get consumed by their inner demons, and those who overcome them) and allYordleshave encountered him at various times (easy to manipulate when socially outcast, harder when not so).

Aatrox[]

He seems to be on friendly terms with, or at least respect,Aatrox(Tahm Kench calls him 'brother') given both manipulate mankind (their foibles and their lust for bloodshed, respectively) for personal gain as well as both being timeless entities known across the ages in various names and forms.

Evelynn[]

Tahm Kench is considered both an equal and a rival byEvelynn, as they are both long-lived demons that feed on human emotion for sustenance, with Tahm Kench preying on greed and the misery of loss, while Evelynn preys on lust and the pain she causes her victims.

Kalista[]

Kalistaoccasionally comes after him; however, he is safe from her as he technically did not betray his victims, just followed his contracts.
