Trivia[]

• Nasus is over 3796 years old and less than 3900 years old.He fought alongside Setaka for 3 centuries before she died in the battle of Icathia, which happened around 2500 BN or 3500 years ago.NasusisRenekton'solder brother and both became Ascended at the same time.
• Renek was one of the nations that belonged to the ancientShurimaEmpire and was possibly located somewhere near theRenek River. The siblings may have originated from here andRenektonmay have been named after it.
• He may be immune toAmumu'spower due to his power's connection to death.
• The Ascension Ritual takes a long time andXerathkept it going far longer than was normal (hence his body was all but obliterated...) so that gave time forNasusandRenektonto get back (and a day for mortals, might only be a few hours for Ascended beings...).
• He fought alongside Setaka for 3 centuries before she died in the battle of Icathia, which happened around 2500 BN or 3500 years ago.
