Background[]

Early Life[]

Zilean was born and raised inIcathia, becoming an elemental mage with an exsquisite knowledge of physical reality. He studied under many great minds of the time, including the Yun ofIxtal. He spent much of his time trying to master the element of time, but could not find success.

Fall of Icathia[]

When he was a young man, Zilean was appointed to Icathia's governing council of distinguished mages, philosophers, and lawmakers. Now in a political establishment, Zilean realized that discontentment was growing among the people of Icathia. Despite being part of the empire ofShurima, the Icathians were not treated as equals by their superiors. As such, many considered secession. However, Zilean knew that Icathia would lose any battle, as Shurima's power eclipsed that of Icathia, withAscendedsoldiers being Shurima's strongest weapons.

After coming back from a diplomatic voyage in which he had failed to convince Icathia's allies to support their secession, Zilean found out that his fellow mages had found a way to harness the power ofThe Void. While he warned against it, the mages ignored his warnings and tried to use the harnessed power in battle. The magic of The Void overpowered the mages that used it and spread through Icathia. As Icathia was swallowed into The Void, Zilean gathered as many people into his tower as possible before removing the tower and all of its inhabitants from time. Everyone and everything that Zilean had removed, save for Zilean himself, was frozen in time. Zilean learned to control the anomaly that he made, learning to move through the past and present, attempting to succeed in his efforts. But as he attempted to do this, he found out thatRuneterrawas in danger of being completely destroyed.

Resolving to save the world from this fate, Zilean left his anomaly and began his quest to save Runeterra.

Appearance[]

Zilean is an elderly pale man. His most notable features are his long white beard and hair (that hovers with magic). He wears robes with muted colors and a red sash. While using time magic, his brown eyes turn glowing pupiless and a clock like elemental mechanism hovers behind him.

Personality[]

Zilean is a determined and caring individual, doing everything he can to save those inRuneterrafrom the end of all things. He cares for his fellow Icathians and is resigned to helping them escape the time prison that he accidentally put them in.
