## Summary

Twice slain and thrice born, Mordekaiser is a brutal warlord from a foregone epoch, who uses his necromantic sorcery to bind souls into an eternity of servitude. Few now remain who remember his earlier conquests, or know the true extent of his powers—but there are some ancient souls that do, and they fear the day when he may return to claim dominion over both the living and the dead.

## Mentality

**Personality**: Previously, driven by dark faith, he crushed every tribe and settlement in his path, forging an empire in blood and death. Mordekaiser spreads his war destruction over Runeterra with his merciless personality, destroying the weak and the useless anyone who dares to challenge him. To his foes, it seemed he cared only for massacre and destruction. Entire generations perished under his relentless campaigns. Mordekaiser hungered for all the forbidden knowledge of spirits and death, and a true understanding of the realm… or realms… beyond.

**Intelligence:** **Beyond Human Understanding** (Mordekaiser is a great Warlord who made countless achievements that would grant him had doubtless earned a seat at the gods’ table, in the glorious Hall of Bones, for all eternity. He forged an entire empire of complete emptiness of oblivion. He was able to learn Ochnun, a profane language not spoken by any living creature. He raised the Immortal Bastion at the center of his empire. Although most assumed the place was just a base, some came to know the monument's true secrets. He acquired forbidden knowledge about spirits and death, as well as a true understanding of the kingdom ... or kingdoms from beyond. Now, he holds the arcane secrets gathered throughout his second life, pulled from the most isolated and unknown confines of the world. Few beings can claim dominion over the spirits, death, and deadly magic that he possesses. Mordekaiser will use this to shape all kingdoms to his iron determination).

## Trivia

* According to his writer and ex-Rioter **Michael Yichao** on Mordekaiser Mains discord, Mordekaiser may have been living during the  Shurima Empire.
* ****Mordekaiser**** defied death by sheer force of will because he refused to accept the reality around him. He gained necromantic powers by teaching himself Ochnun in the death realm, which allowed him to speak beyond the veil of death to deceive mortals into resurrecting him.
* ****Mordekaiser's**** quote *"Destiny. Domination. Deceit."* would subconsciously inspire Noxus' principles of strength: Vision, Might, and Guile.
* **Mitna Rachnun** is a portion of the Spirit Realm that Mordekaiser has corrupted for his own uses.
* The Hall of Bones in Sahn-Uzal/Mordekaiser's lore references Valhalla "Hall of the Slain" in Norse mythology;
* However, much to his anger, the dead Sahn-Uzal ended up in an empty, foggy wasteland with other lost souls fading into oblivion;
	+ This wasteland likely references Sheol, a dark realm where both the righteous and the wicked will go to after death, in Hebrew mythology.
* **The Elixir of Uloa** has the properties to resurrect  ****Mordekaiser****.
* His armor has two layers of metal, a black iron skeletal under-layer and the tarnished proto-noxian armour on top of that.
* As revealed in  **Rell** lore live Q&A, Mordekaiser's armor is made from souls and iron.
