Lore
Ragnivar is a proud fighter who wields magic-infused weaponry to attack his enemies. He comes from a group of people only known as pillagers; living on a somewhat desolate island, with no place for proper cultivation, these raiders relied on attacking other people in order to obtain the materials needed for survival. Raised in the hands of these pillagers, Ragnivar developed an exceptional ability to fight, a strong body, a joy for fighting, and a cold disregard for the welfare of those he fought against at a young age. When he was old enough, his father allowed Ragnivar to come on raids. However, Ragnivar always felt as if he wasn't doing as well as he couldeven when his fellow raiders said otherwise. Nevertheless, Ragnivar continued to raid villages.

It was on one of these raids that Ragnivar found what he was looking for.

Ragnivar and his fellow pillagers were in the midst of laying siege to a small town. They had managed to trap the townsfolk in their hall, but the town guard was giving the pillagers a fight. One man, presumably the commander, was particularly dangerous: he seemed to hit with augmented strength and his weapon seemed to emit a faint glow and sear through armor. Ragnivar saw that his fellow raiders were falling to this man, and quickly rushed to fight him. After sustaining multiple wounds, Ragnivar emerged victorious, and the pillagers prevailed.

As they were leaving with their newly-acquired goods, Ragnivar looked at the body of the guard commander, and saw what looked to be a cloudy mineral on a pendant, which was worn by the dead commander. When he asked about the pendant, many raiders said that cloudy minerals like those were of no use.

But Ragnivar thought otherwise. He felt as if there was a strange power emanating from it, and he put on the pendant. Immediately, power surged through him. His weapons were infused with a strange greenish hue, and Ragnivar felt new again. His fellow pillagers saw the transition, and looked back in shock. They then noticed how the pendant was giving Ragnivar power, and, wanting that power for themselves, they attacked him.

Ragnivar was caught by surprise. Never had he imagined that his friends would turn on him so easily, without hesitation, just for power. This caused something to change within him. He saw how all this: raiding, killing, and stealing, was wrong. He saw that the people he thought were his friends had no sense of loyalty at all.

Ragnivar fought them off, throwing hatchets, cleaving with his axe, and spinning in a whirlwind fashion, disposing of his once fellow-raiders. Once they had all been killed, Ragnivar set off. With a newfound duty to protect those in need with terrifying force from those trying to steal, Ragnivar is a protector of the lands near the beaches of Northern Runeterra, where he keeps the villages he once destroyed safe and fights those who threaten them with joy.
