Lore
Thanatos Yseva believes that by harvesting the chaotic product of great magical disaster, he can achieve a source of unlimited energy that brings him great power and undying vitality. As he experiments with smaller magical beings at first, the result was minimal. After gathering enough "Chaos" for 10 years, Thanatos was able to revive a small scorpion from it's dying moments, and even greatly strengthen it. Despite his experiment subject broke free of it's iron cage and escaped ferociously, Thanatos was thrilled at the amount of power that his test subject gained. He began turning his eye to creating a great disaster of arcane collision, where it may even endanger the destiny of Runeterra itself...

After years of researches and developments, Thanatos managed to create a band of cultists, known as "Allegiance of the Yseva" which composes of power-hungry criminals and dangerous beings, and even mercenaries and pirates: they search all possible source of magic, and at times, broke certain magical locks and seals, releasing monstrous being. All these, just for creating an arcane collision that is strong enough to give "Chaos" for their thirst of powers. Despite the effort of his band of cultists, Thanatos wasn't able to create a vortex of "Chaos" enough to grant him immortality... until, some of the cultists managed to track down a family who bears the lineage of "Shimmeredge", and drained them of their vast magical power. Never did they know that they failed to cleanly wipe the family out.

After several years, where the death of the Shimmeredge household has long been forgotten by Thanatos... Dyron Shimmeredge and Lamia Shimmeredge appeared before the island where Thanatos command the Allegiance of Yseva from. Thunders and lightnings open the bloody path of vengeance; Storms and tornadoes rages the helpless cultists. The once fearless cultists of Yseva were completely tattered, like the poor squirrels ripped apart by a ferocious beast. For the first time after achieving such strength, Thanatos felt threatened.

However, years of researching "Chaos" does not leave Thanatos weak as he used to be: he was able to hold Dyron and Lamia down, and surprisingly, morph his cultists into strange yet powerful minions. The fight was fierce... too fierce, in fact, that the final spell that Dyron conjured, caused a feedback in the dimensional forcefield, which invoked a greater collision than that of what Thanatos wanted. Despite Dyron managed to deflect Thanatos into that dimensional breach with his final breath, Thanatos struggled to return to Runeterra in just moments later.

Thanatos was excited about the change that he may obtain: possibly immortality, greater powers, or even more. Never did Thanatos realize, he was stained by the vicious unknown infestation that began changing his consciousness.

His mind gradually became nothing but a swarm of greed that hungers nothing but magical power. Thanatos no longer remember what he was, and only know his name, his greed of magic, and nothing more. As his consciousness fades away, his uncontrollable greed causes a gigantic uproar in his attacks of major cities. The Institute of War decided to act and subdue Thanatos, and suppresses him with the power of Nexus, until the arrival of the chance to letting him go where he belongs.
