Background[]

Early life[]

Noxianby birth, Shieda Kayn was conscripted as a child soldier like many others. When he was no more than ten, he and his comrades were ordered to attack the province ofBahrlinIonia. He and other young soldiers made up the vanguard of the attack. While Kayn’s young comrades fled or were cut down by the defenders before the Noxian regulars came in from the flank, Kayn showed no fear and survived to see the end of the battle.

Zedand his followers arrived on the battleground two days later. There, they found Kayn on the ground, leveling a sickle at Zed. The Master of Shadows saw potential in the boy and welcomed him into theOrder of Shadow.

After joining the order, the young Kayn was given food and a home to stay. Growing up training as an acolyte of the order, Kayn was able to master all the weapons given to him while other acolytes spent years training with a single weapon. By drinking the Tears of the Shadow, Kayn gained the ability to cloak himself in the shadows to stealthily assassinate enemies. He was able to spread fear among the survivors through his swift kills, using fear as his weapon. As Kayn's power and reputation grew, he gained hubristic ambitions that one day he could be more powerful than even Zed.

WieldingRhaast[]

Kayn was later sent on a mission to Noxus as his final test: to procure aDarkinscythe recently uncovered in the Noxian city ofVindorto stop the weapon from being used against the Ionians. Accompanied by his fellow acolyte Nakuri, he used his shadow magic to sneak up on the three guards defending the noxtoraa, killing two of them before intimidating the last one, whom was killed by Nakuri. After killing several more Noxian soldiers, Kayn approached the weapon where he heard the DarkinRhaastcall to him from within the scythe. One of the Noxians snatched the scythe in desperation, and began to swing it uncontrollably at his comrades as Rhaast's corruption took over. Realizing that the legends were true, Kayn possessed the soldier's body, where he witnessed the atrocities that Rhaast inflicted over millenia. However, instead of destroying it as ordered, he was tempted to wield the Darkin for himself. Ignoring Nakuri's pleas, Kayn took hold of Rhaast and underwent the same corruption, but Kayn was able to resist his will and control his enhanced power. After a final struggle against Nakuri, Kayn killed his fellow acolyte. Since then, Kayn now duels Rhaast over control over his own body, until one of them wins and seizes control.

Future Scenarios[]

These scenarios are not canon to the official timeline, but future possibilities that have been hinted at in the lore and gameplay.

• Should Kayn fully overcome Rhaast, he will take full control of the scythe's powers, unlocking his full potential as theShadow Assassin.
• ShouldRhaastoverpower Kayn, he will completely assimilate Kayn's body and wield the scythe for himself, using his new body to resume his killing and bloodshed acrossRuneterra. He also hints that Kayn's consciousness has been trapped in the same dimension where he was sealed.
Appearance[]

Kayn is a young man with a thin, muscular build. He has black hair with a blue streak at the right side and a long braid on the back. He wears nothing but large, baggy pants with a rope around it and leather boots. Due to Rhaast's partial assimilation, his left arm has become muscle with grey plating covering his shoulder, left pectoral and left eye. His right eye has a yellow iris, while his corrupted left eye has a dark red sclera and a glowing red iris.

As theShadow Assassin, he now has pale white skin, glowing pupilless eyes and lacks the corruption on his body. He has dark blue tattoos on his eyes, torso and arms. His braided hair has been replaced with long-flowing hair with a larger blue streak.

Personality[]

(TBA)

Abilities[]

• Weapon Prodigy:During his training in the Shadow Order, Kayn was able to master all weapons available to him with ease, whereas most of his fellow acolytes took years to master one weapon.
• Shadow Magic:Kayn has been empowered with the powers of the Tears of The Shadow, greatly enhancing his abilities, and letting him control the shadows to his wishes.Intangibility:Kayn can turn his body into shadow, allowing him to pass through walls.Shadow Cloning:Upon becoming the Shadow Assassin, Kayn is able to create shadowy clones of himself to attack.
• Darkin Weapon:Having taken the Darkin Rhaast as a weapon and resisted the Darkin's will, Kayn's physical atributes were greatly enhanced.
• Resistant Will:Kayn has a strong will which allows him to resist being taken over by Rhaast, and even allows him to fully overcome Rhaast in order to become the Shadow Assassin. However, his will cannot stop the possibility of him losing the battle against Rhaast.
• Possession:Kayn can temporarily possess others using his shadow magic. He was shown to have possessed a Noxian soldier's body prior to his corruption from Rhaast.
• Intangibility:Kayn can turn his body into shadow, allowing him to pass through walls.
• Shadow Cloning:Upon becoming the Shadow Assassin, Kayn is able to create shadowy clones of himself to attack.
Relations[]

Zed[]

When Kayn was a child soldier, Zed saw the potential within him and recruited him to be a part of his order, feeding him and giving him a home. Kayn became Zed's favorite and most loyal disciple, trusting him enough to confide valuable information and hoping that Kayn would become the new leader of the Order of Shadow if something were to happen to him. Kayn refused to betray him when Kusho urged him to, because of how he saved him from a hopeless fate and gave him a new purpose in life. Despite his loyalty, Kayn's growing arrogance led him to believe that with Rhaast's power, he would even surpass Zed one day.

Rhaast[]

Kayn sees his wieldership of Rhaast as being his destiny, risking the Darkin's corruption to unlock his true potential. While Rhaast tries to manipulate him into embracing violence, Kayn defies him just as easily. They both fight against each other over control of his body, with Kayn intending to fully overpower Rhaast and claim his power for himself.

Jhin[]

Kayn, along with Zed and other members of the Shadow Order, were attacked by Jhin.

Akali[]

Kayn may have a crush on Akali. She knows Kayn and finds him hot but too crazy for her taste.

Kusho[]

Kusho manipulated Kayn into serving him and ordered him to kill Zed, but Kayn remained loyal to Zed due to the latter being his mentor whom gave him his new purpose in life.

4Royce[]

Royce sympathizes with Kayn due to them both growing up as child soldiers of Noxus, considering Kayn as a "brother in blood".

Master Yi[]

Kayn fought against Master Yi and his Wuju disciples to obtain the1The Darkin Bloodlettersthat they were guarding.

Short Story • 5 Minute Read

The Blade of Millenia

ByMichael McCarthy

Kayn stood confidently in the shadow of the noxtoraa, surrounded by dead soldiers, and smiled at the irony. These triumphal arches of dark stone were raised to honor the strength of Noxus—to instill fear and to demand fealty from all who passed beneath them. Now this one was a tombstone, a monument to false strength and arrogance, and a symbol of the fallen warriors' own fear turned against them.

Passive ability — Name: The Darkin Scythe, Description: Innate: Kayn has a secondary experience bar that tracks progress toward his Darkin and Shadow Assassin forms. He gathers orbs from champion takedowns and each instance of damage (excluding damage over time ) dealt against champions. Once he has earned enough orbs, he unlocks a form based on whether he earned more from melee or ranged champions (for Darkin and Shadow Assassin , respectively), with the other form unlocked later. Kayn can move near the summoning platform to transform over 6 seconds, where he restores full health and mana , during which he is invulnerable , untargetable , and unable to act. Kayn cannot choose a form if he is unable to cast abilities. The transformation will grant a passive bonus and permanently empower some of Kayn's abilities based on the form chosen. He gains a one-time Homeguard once the transformation is complete. Shadow Assassin Bonus: If Kayn has been out of combat with enemy champions for over 8 seconds, or he casts Umbral Trespass , he deals 15% − 45% (based on level) of post-mitigation damage dealt against enemy champions as bonus magic damage , lasting for 3 seconds upon entering combat and also applying on the first instance of damage dealt. If this effect is ready, it will not be lost by taking damage. Darkin Bonus: Rhaast heals for 25% of the post-mitigation physical damage that he deals to enemy champions with his abilities .

Trivia:
Kaynis one of 20 champions without a singleability powerratio on any ability:Aatrox,Camille,Darius,Dr. Mundo,Draven,Garen,Kled,Naafiri,Nilah,Olaf,Pyke,Riven,Samira,Sett,Talon,Urgot,Xayah,Yone, andZed.
He is the seventh dark-themed Ionian-affiliatedchampion (albeit Noxian-born), afterShen,Varus,Syndra,Zed,Xayah&Jhin; as well as the second-known member from the Order of Shadow.
His given nameShiedais pronounced /ˈʃi:da/, and is Ionian in origin.[4]By coincidence, his surnameKaynresembles:BiblicalCain, from Semitic rootq-y-n"smith"[5]< "spear" < "reed"*qanay.[6]Irish surnameKane, Anglicized from GaelicÓ Catháin, from Proto-Celtic*katus"fight, battle".[7]
His stint as a child-soldier referencesconscription of children;Not all Noxian commanders condone their colleagues' callousness, though they at least turn a blind eye.
While inDarkinform, the champion's ability tooltips change to read "Rhaast" instead of "Kayn".
His dance referencesthe Reebok dance.
If you are tied in orbs forThe Darkin Scythe, you will be defaulted toRhaast.[8]
Although patchV7.16made it so the portrait of the selected skin would be used in the central portion of the in-game UI, transforming intoShadow AssassinorRhaastalways uses their base portraits for all skins.
The Darkin Scythe'sicons upon transformation forShadow AssassinandDarkinare both reused for theTeamfight TacticsitemsKayn's LiberationandRhaast's Embracerespectively, which reference him and Rhaast.
