Background[]

Early life[]

The wraith Thresh was born in theBlessed Islesas Erlok Grael, a monk ofHelia. He served in the order for many years, expecting to be recognized among Helia's masters, but due to his humble background he was delegated to work as a warden to safeguard Helia's magical artifacts which he took as an insult. Grael felt bitter towards his new position as he believed himself more gifted than his noble-born peers who got more prestigious roles, and that his lowly position would stop him from being recognized.[1]After years of working in the vault, Grael grew bitter and cruel. Growing frustrated over his fellow wardens getting killed by the artifacts, he took interest in a nameless tome claimed to whisper one's darkest thoughts. Grael kept the tome in his possession, but his superior, Head Warden Rastofir, stopped him and threatened to demote him. Angered, he believed that Rastofir was trying to steal his research for his own benefit, so he arranged Rastofir to be killed by a miscategorized artifact so he could manipulate the order into a pragmatic direction.[2]

The Ruination[]

One day, a fleet of ships fromCamavorinvaded the Blessed Isles, led by their kingViegowhom wanted to use the Waters of Life to resurrect his wifeIsolde. When the monks refused,Hecarimand his knights took the opportunity to slaughter the monks and all of the natives. Grael delighted in the carnage and suffering that ensued, and took it upon himself to lead Viego to the Waters of Life. Isolde's resurrection failed and caused a blast of magic that corrupted the Blessed Isles' protective mist into the Black Mist, turning all of the inhabitants intowraiths. Grael embraced his transformation and took on the moniker Thresh, eager to act out his desires for cruelty without punishment or the limits of mortality. As decades passed, Thresh's spectral form morphed into a reflection of his darkest traits. He roamed theShadow Isleskilling people and imprisoning their souls within his lantern, becoming known in the folklore ofRuneterraas a bogeyman figure.

Capture of Senna[]

Many years later, Thresh encounteredLucianandSenna, a married couple ofSentinels of Light, in a forbidden Helian vault in search of a cure for the latter's curse. Overzealous in his goal to save Senna, Lucian refused to turn back, but his decision cost him Senna's life as she sacrificed herself to save him from an oncoming attack from Thresh. The wraith trapped her soul in his lantern, with Lucian spending years battling his arch-enemy, all while Thresh taunted him by holding Senna's soul ransom.

Eventually, Lucian was able to set Senna's soul free by blasting Thresh's lantern open. While he expected the souls to pass on, Senna re-emerged with her newfound ability to control the Black Mist. Though Thresh was defeated, he decided to let them have their victory as he would toy with them in the future.

The Ruined King[]

Appearance[]

Personality[]

As a human, Grael dedicated his work to becoming recognized throughout Helia, but was narcissistic and spiteful, seeing himself as being worthy of recognition. He believed himself to be perfect and felt bitter towards anyone who stopped his goals, to the point where he had no problem in causing the deaths of his fellow monks to develop his own progress. Observers described Grael as being unsettling and having darkness within his mind.

After becoming Thresh, he embraced his true cruelty and hatred without anyone to stop him. He is a psychopathic sadist who delights in making others suffer even after death, by tearing out his victims' souls and leaving them to suffer within his lantern, even mocking his victims' loved ones. He enjoys antagonizingLucianthe most, after imprisoning the soul of his wifeSennaand taunting Lucian with Senna's soul on ransom. When Senna escaped, Thresh decided to let them win so he could torment them in the future. Thresh is also known for manipulating others for his own gain, such as influencing Viego after reviving him so the deaths he caused would empower Thresh to become unbound, freeing him from his perpetual imprisonment in the Shadow Isles and granting him the power to move around Runeterra. Adopting new human form, Thresh travelled to Noxus where he met Bort. A luckless waiter in a Noxian Inn who had been cursed with a crustacean arm after trying to steal from a mage and consequently was abused and ridiculed by fellow staff and customers alike for his clumsiness and unfortunate condition. Sensing potential in Bort, Thresh murdered all those who had previously mocked him and offered to free Bort from his deformity. Gladly accepting the offer, Bort became Thresh's Phantom carriage driver. Now in command of those who had tormented him, Bort whips and taunts the trapped souls who pull Thresh's carriage as Thresh himself travels deeper into Noxus.

Abilities[]

• Wraith:Thresh is one of the Shadow Isles's wraiths, created when the Ruination came to be.The Black Mist consumes ones original personality, leaving only a specter consumed by negative emotions and obsessions. In Thresh's, interestingly enough, he seems to have changed very little.Amortality:Being already dead, Thresh can't die again. He can only be banished and lose his material form for a while.Spiritual Constructs:Wraiths can create solid constructs from spectral energy, such as bodies and physical objects. These constructs mainly base themselves around how they looked in life.Transitory State:Being ethereal beings, Wraiths can shift from the physical world and spiritual one at will. This means they can become intangible and invisible, and dissapear from one place to another.
• Soul Snatching:Thresh' most terrible power, and what makes him so dangerous, is his ability to entrap the souls of others by hooking them with his scythe, and then trapping their souls inside his lantern, were they suffer untold horrors until they become his enslaved thralls.

It was then he found out Senna's soul is trapped inside the Chain Warden'slantern. Lucian continued to pursue the Mist to free her and finallysucceeded.

Thresh made a deal withLucianfor the vital information that may help him saveSenna. After becoming unbound from the mist with Viego being defeated, Thresh came to theSentinels of Lightfor the soul promised by the deal, but they managed to escape. Thresh now plots to capture the escaping Sentinels.

LucianandSennaare now dedicated to hunting Thresh.

ByAnthony Reynolds Lenné

Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire’s knights go, slaughter follows. Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king she vows to temper his destructive instincts as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin’s poisoned blade strikes Viego’s wife, Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure. As Isolde’s condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalisa makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: She searches for the long-lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen’s salvation if only Kalista can find them. But corruption grows in the Blessed Isle’s capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right–for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world.

No One Lives

ByGraham McNeill

Icy waves crashed on the bleak shore, red with the blood of the men Hecarim had already butchered. The mortals he had yet to kill were retreating over the beach in terror. Black rain doused them and stormclouds boiled in from the mourning heart of the island. He heard them shouting to one another. The words were a guttural battle-cant he did not recognize, but the meaning was clear; they actually thought they might live to reach their ship. True, they had some skill. They moved as one, wooden shields interlocked. But they were mortal and Hecarim savored the meat-stink of their fear.
