This is a long story about Kabu'Naar, which also connectes with Duraga, the Horus champion.(Note my grammar sucks but here it goes...)

Origin.
Kabu'Naar is one of those with egotistical delusions who wanted to ascend as a god. His strength weren't powerful as the fellow of his brethen, but he loves to collect information through a bug he constantly sends out. His intellect is strong enough to learn the mistake he did back then which would've cost his life, and only sends out his bug to spy through things while not expose himself, wheter to his enemy or ally.

However he knew this life wouldn't be enough for him and he wanted to become bigger than that, but he knew that only way to do it is to seek the forbidden knowledge within The Great Library, guarded by one of the greatest guardian in the Sand Empire, the savage beast known as Renekton.

It was impossible for him to enter due to Renekton sensing the true nature of those who visited the Great Library and it would be suicidal to go against that powerful creature, but Kabu'Naar saw the changing of Renektons mind which made Renekton grew more aggressive than before.

So Kabu'Naar came up with a plan to remove these guardians, by anonymously send out a message to people to seek out this holy place. Of course there were people among them who wanted to use the knowledge for harm and feeded the anger to Renekton. One fateful day, Renekton grew furious and turned his anger to his own kin. As Kabu'Naar witnessed the disappearance of Nasus and Renekton, he singly volunteered himself as the guardian of The Great Library, which protectors accepted, not knowing that Kabu'Naar is a spy. Only Renekton knew that, but he's gone now.

New Guardian, and the Prince of the Sands.
While Kabu'Naar weren't greater than Renekton at guarding (not being able to sense visitors true nature), Kabu'Naars intellect and long training made Kabu'Naar a viable guardian, and he gained their trust enough to access deeper into the library where he claimed one of the ancient tome of "Cycle of Life and Death". What Kabu'Naar did know that once the reader open it the tome will dissolve and merges with the reader, which is why tome is strictly forbidden to open. However his curiosity grew over him and he ignore the orders.

As he opened the tome, a magic did surround him, feeding him with newfounded power. Unable to control it, he grew into a massive hulk which exposed his true nature to his fellow guardians.

Duraga, one of the young prince of the Sand Empire (and is also Nasus former disciple), demanded his guardians to apprehend Kabu'Naar as he were trying to escape from the sacred place. However the protectors and Duraga finally manages to capture him and Duraga did deliver the final blow to him, killing Kabu'Naar as he fell down. But no one knew that his life essence were sent to his bug as the bug manages to escape from the Empire.

The Scourge vs. The Prince.
What happens from there is that Duraga and Kabu'Naar fought numerous times in the desert, which Duraga ended up as the victor, but Duraga never knew that Kabu'Naar got reborn through his bugs for each battle they've taken. But one day, Kabu'Naar gained control his power enough to be resurrected back in battle, rather than being reborn several years later. The duo faced each other for the last time, this time Kabu'Naar resurrect himself from the dead and attacks Duraga in surprise. Duraga got badly injured, as Kabu'Naar grab one of Duragas wing and burned it with dark powers, forever dooming Duragas ability to fly.

As Duraga lies down, hopeless to escape from the massive hulk, Kabu'Naar were about to deliver his final blow to the fallen warrior. However a light did surround both of them before Kabu'Naar manages to deliver it, and they were both warped away from the home-world.

The World of Runeterra, and the Institute of War.
Duraga ended up safety at the Institute, while Kabu'Naar landed somewhere at Shurima Desert, recovering from his death. As Kabu'Naar manages to recover, he wandered aimlessly around the desert, but he soon discovered that Duragas essence were still around this world during the time Kabu'Naar struck a hit on Duraga, and Kabu'Naar tracked the location where Duraga resided.

Meanwhile Duraga received treatment from Soraka, one of the League champion. However Soraka stated a dark aura prevented her to heal his broken wing and must be amputated. Duraga accepted it since he failed to save his life and needed to punish himself for it, by being forever stuck to the land to associate with land people. Nasus came to visit Duraga to tell him about Valoran while Nasus got shocked about news from Duraga about the tome.

As days and months goes, he received his teaching from Nasus as he quickly recover from his injury. He later joins at the League with great success, surprising the council and Relivash himself. However, the pain from his amputated wing grew larger as Duraga knew that Kabu'Naar drew closer to the Institute.

Ahh... Both of them are here..(laughs) - Renekton, chained inside the prison.
