Riot Games has come up with a new champion in Patch 11.2.
A new King has arrived, and his only quest is finding his beloved wife. He can destroy anything and anyone to get to her. His reign is terror and, his love is eternal. All will fall before the Ruined King until Isolde returns to him.
THE RUINED KING: VIEGO
Once there lived a young, energetic King from the ancient realm named “Viego”. Viego comes from Royalty. The title of a King is achieved as his father was a dynasty king and Viego was the second son. But Viego had no desire to be the ruler. Instead, he lived a comfort which drives him to be selfish. When his elder brother died, Viego who lacked the inclination and aptitude to be the ruler was crowned as a king. He was trying to gain rulership skills until he met a poor, seamstress woman named Isolde. Viego fell in love and married the Isolde. Viego started to devote his life to her.
But his allies and people were not satisfied as they thought that he was not exactly the best ruler for this kingdom. This led to a plot to end their new King’s reign before it had begun. Thus, a poisoned dagger did come to kill Viego but he was defended well by his army and it did not strike him but grazed Isolde. The toxic began to spread quickly. Despite several attempts to save her, Viego could not save his wife.
Driven by madness, Viego searched for a way to bring back his wife from the Dead with the help of the Water from the Blessed Isles. The water in it could heal any ailment. With his merciless army, he stormed the country and killed everyone who tried to stop him until he reached the blessed water. Isolde came back to life but not as Viego had expected. She was angry and took Viego's enchanted blade and stabbed him in his heart. The magic of the sword and the water clashed which caused a massive event that imprisoned the Isles and everything within it turning them undead.
1000 years later, Viego has risen without recollection of the events that happened but still retained that love driven rage fuelling desire to find his wife once again.
