The man that became Zotra was originally a simple executioner, who carried out the sacrifice of traitors and other criminals. However, he hated his job, as he only got weaklings, some of them he knew, but that all changed when he got to sacrifice a Noxian who tried to kill Emperor Azir. He carved out the man's heart with his bone dagger, and held the heart above his mouth, and swallowed it. Whole, and still beating. He felt something kindle within him, a lust for blood that wouldn't be sated. After that day, he did this with every sacrifice he got, eating their heart while they watched, bleeding out. Azir, when he saw this, chose this man to be ascended when the need arose.

One day, it did come, as a threat that was alien to all of Shurima was attacking the capital. During this attack, the man was put thru the Ascension Ceremony( he was near death at that time of an assassin's failed attempt to kill him), and was transformed into Zotra, a massive bat-like being with arms made into bladed bat wings( he still had hands, but they were barely usable), his legs growing clawed, and his head grew like a bats, with elongated canines capable of carving out the hearts he so desired. He was assigned to hunt the leaders of the threat, and *rip out their hearts*. After completing this task, the war was over, but Nasus and Renekton got all the credit, as Zotra was a horrifying sight to behold, and Nasus and Renekton were frontline fighters, so everyone saw them. He was taken care of, however, as Azir gave him a room at the palace as a guard, and was given servants. Zotra gave his servants names, and cloaks that resembled a bat's wings, and made them his "Brothers of Blood". He felt happy at this state, and grew a bit sloppy, drunk on blood and vascular flesh. But he sensed something, a great catacalysm coming, something that would destroy Shurima for millenia...

When the Destruction of the Sun Disc devastated Shurima, he sealed himself in a chrysalis of sandstone, deep under the earth. For eons, he slept there, waiting for any sign to crawl to the surface. One day, he sensed it. The Sun Disc was Ascending someone! He awoke, freed himself from his sand-made prison, and flew out from the sand, searching for the Ascended-to-be. He saw his master, Azir, transformed into a hawk-like being. He flew to Azir with both glee, and *hunger*. It had been centuries since he last ate a heart or drank any blood. His master saw his loyal Executioner, and welcomed him home with open arms. He now defends Shurima and his master from ant threat that may try to hurt him.
