Antonio, the Shadow Fencer is a champion in League of Legends.

Lore
There were few who were born with the condition of being half-man/half-creature in the city-state of Demacia, but for one sudden occasion, such a birth was envisioned; A half-human/half-bat was born. His name was Antonio, and he was born into the wealthy family of de Vilentio, a close-friend family of the Laurents, and their prodigy child. Being quite stubborn and rude when he was a child, Antonio soon grew up to be more respectable towards people, especially Fiora.

That could explain why he was so concerned of her when her father was revealed to be the greatest cheater and fraud of all of Demacia's duelists. He saw the shame and repulse that Fiora developed towards her father, and in an attempt to comfort her, he decided to spar with her. One-on-one, no tricks pulled. Even if he was no fencer back then, he felt it was the least he could do. Naturally, he lost the spar, but for some reason, that spurred Fiora on in carrying on the Laurent legacy, and become an honorable duelist. Seeing that she was determined to become better, Antonio decided to actually LEARN himself to fence. The road was clumsy, and often derailed for him, but he soon learned the ropes, and became quite an adapt fencer.

He also had a talent for magic, but instead of Demacia's preferred Light Mage magic, he developed an affinity for shadows, and whilst that was not seen as a really 'big' travesty within Demacia, he was still a bit shunned for this. Deciding to show that shadows and light were both important, however, Antonio signed up for the League of Legends, and was welcomed to the Institute. ""What sharp point is good if it does not cast a shadow?""
