User blog comment:KaiserLos24/New Shadow Isles Champion- Kalista (Maybe :P)/@comment-4290320-20141025082926

In reference to the comment about each of the 'fogged' champions a little bit below, all of them commited treason, but I want to discuss a possible theory for Hecarim.

Some people think he's just some commander leading an army and all that war stuff, but do we really know what happened to him to become an embodiment of war and death? So far, we can assume that he is surely linked to and that he was human before; both of these little 'facts' or whatever you may call them are said by the West altar on the TTL.

And since the Shadow Isles champs got short lore entries, we can expect updated and longer stories for all of them.

My theory is, that Hecarim was an esteemed general, constantly leading his army to battle and always grasping victory. His military experience always shined as inspiration for his fellow soldiers. One cloudy day, he was desperately losing one battle against a rival army (which could've most likely been influenced by 's 'bloodlust', hence stronger). Hecarim, filled with fear and paranoia, ran off. Having heard of the Shadow Isles, he travels to the land of undead, seeking a way to achieve victory against the army who is slaughtering his own troops at the very moment. *insert Hecarim's transformation here*. Hecarim, now fused with the energy of the Isles and filled with a thirst for war, rides out towards the ongoing battle. But in the heat of all the action, he does not only succeed in killing the remainder of the rival army, but he also took his own troops with them.

That's just my fancy way of describing 's treason against humanity and his own friends. Also, I added since he seems to have either some way of seeing the future or what not, hence he is shaping history or he is shaping history to fit his artistic style. (Artist Aatrox confirmed)
