Background[]

Early Life[]

Kalista was born in the long-forgotten kingdom ofCamavor, as the daughter of the heir to the Argent Throne and the niece ofViego. Despite being his niece, Kalista and Viego were close in age and was one of his closest friends, acting as a big sister towards him. Eventually her father passed and when her grandfather was on his deathbed, he tasked her with monitoring Viego's reign, due to him being unprepared to rule.  Kalista served him with utmost loyalty as the general of Camavor. Viego would fall in love withIsoldeand two would soon wed. Kalista saw Isolde as a sister and enjoyed the positive influence she had on his uncle.

When Viego was targeted by an assassin sent to kill him with a poisoned blade, Kalista deflected the blade in time but accidentally caused it to graze Isolde instead. With the best medics and priests in Camavor unable to save her, a grief-stricken Viego sent Kalista, along with the captain of the Iron Order,Hecarim, to find a cure. While most nations were unable to give her the results she wanted, she learned of theBlessed Islesand was able to get the Waters of Life that could cure even the direst of ailments. But when she got back, Isolde had already succumbed to the poison. Viego, maddened by grief, saw Kalista as a traitor to the crown and got her imprisoned.

Invasion of the Blessed Isles[]

In the dungeons, Kalista was visited by Hecarim, who manipulated her into revealing the location of the Blessed Isles all so he could reap glory for himself. Hecarim then told Viego about the information she gave him, which led to the fleets of Camavor sailing to the capital of the Blessed Isles,Helia.

However, the elders of the Blessed Isles refused to let the Camavorans pass, as they believed that death was final and to cheat it would break the natural order of the world. Viego ignored their warnings and ordered Kalista to kill them. She refused and tried to get Hecarim to stand with her, but he and his knights killed her by driving their spears into her back, before killing her loverLedrosand all the Camavoran soldiers loyal to her. Then, they began to raid the Blessed Isles, looting their treasures and killing all of the natives they could find. But thanks to Viego's failed attempt to revive his wife, the Blessed Isles' protective barrier was tainted by the magic of Viego'sblade, causing a disaster which turned it into the ghostly realm now known as theShadow Isles.

Spirit of Vengeance[]

Many of the people within the Isles at the time of the Ruination, both living and dead, were reborn as ghostlywraiths. Kalista was one such wraith, who remembered nothing but her feelings of vengeance toward Hecarim as she died. She became a spirit of vengeance, travelling all over Runeterra to appear before those who made pacts in her name, absorbing their souls to kill the ones whom had betrayed them. But with each soul she absorbed, her humanity disappeared as she became a hive mind of vengeful souls who avenged the wronged across Runeterra.

Appearance[]

In life Kalista was a woman with an athletic physique, brown skin, brown eyes, and long flowing black hair.

Personality[]

While being of royal blood, Kalista was surprisingly down to earth in life and had a strong sense of justice. She got along far better with the common footsoldiers in the military than the nobles trying to curry favour with her. She was also depicted as caring sister figure to a youngViegowhen he suddenly was to be crowned as king ofCamavorand tried to be his emotional and moral support during his reign, with some help fromIsolde.

Despite being her uncle, Kalista and Viego were around the same age and friends for a long time since he was largely ignored in favor of Kalista's father. When her father died and Viego became king, his negative traits were worsened and they began to drift apart, however she was still loyal to him. Kalista managed to protect Viego from an assassin, but resulted in Isolde getting poisoned instead. She would set sail in order to find a cure, but found it too late and was imprisoned as a traitor for her failure.She was eventually convinced byHecarimto leadViegoand their army to the Blessed Isles for the Waters of Life. When the masters of the island refused to let them use the water, Viego ordered her to kill anyone who opposed them. Kalista refused and was stabbed by Hecarim before her forces clashed with the Iron Order.

Commander Ledros[]

Commander Ledroswas her lover in life and is trying to free her soul.Threshtried to persuade him to give up trying to freeKalistaand so far has succeeded at obtaining his silver pendant which Ledros may use to remind Kalista of her humanity, but Ledros instead has tried to end the curse of the Ruination himself.

Hecarimand his Iron Order are now restlessly hunted and "killed" by her, but they always come back due to the Black Mist.

As Isolde’s condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him.

Trivia[]

• Kalista is between 1050 years old, born at some point before the Ruination of theBlessed Isles.She was in her 20s, roughly the same age asViegoduring the first Ruination.She's old enough for legends to spread about her across the world. Every place has a different, but similar story about summoning her.
• According toViego'sbiography, her kingdom was from an unknown continent outside of the known map.
• 'The Spear of Vengeance' (the specter Kalista became after theRuination) is ahivemindof betrayed souls (hence she referring to herself as 'we') while Kalista herself is buried deep beneath them all, with every new soul burying her ever-deeper within the entity she has become. Very little of who she once was remains, but it surfaces occasionally.Ledrosalmost managed to free her from her curse.Kalista is one of the strongest characters fromRuneterra, being basically the Avatar of Vengeance at this point.She would feel all sorts of things in the moments when she is more lucid; remorse, anger, regret, sadness, grief, rage...
• Her spears are the spectral remnants of the way she was originally murdered.She would have used a spear in life. She was a heroic leader - think of her as having been kind of female (and honorable) Achilles.
• Kalista is a lawful neutral character who acts according to both her drive to enact vengeance on betrayers and her own law.Her 'alignment' depends on one's perspective - it's all in the eye of the beholder. To some, she would be seen as evil because she is an undying spirit, full stop. However, she was a hero in life, and very much an honorable one at that. She didn't ask to become what she is, and is now consumed with enacting vengeance. So, to some, she might be seen as an avenger, a spirit of justice. To those she is pursuing? They'd probably think she is evil - she certainly couldn't be bargained or argued with, and she'd see things very much in black and white. What if someone did do a horrible betrayal, but has atoned for it? She'd not be bothered with those kind of details...She'd be very black and white, it is possible even if someone may have a very good reason for betraying someone, in her eyes just the fact that there is betrayal may damn them in her eyes.She is also very focused. She's not an indiscriminate killer, and would not destroy everything in her path to get to her target. She's got all the time in the world (she'd not exactly got to worry about ageing any more...), so she can be patient in order to get her target without involving unnecessary deaths.
• Kalista can travel mystically across Valoran, and there's no escaping her once she's got her target without using powerful spirit magic, asVladimirdid in the storyThe Daring Darling.
• She was in her 20s, roughly the same age asViegoduring the first Ruination.
