Umal, the Elder Guard is a custom template champion in League of Legends.

Lore
Umal Spiritmight is the eldest bodyguard of Jarvan IV, one of his elite guard. Umal had been assigned to the young Prince's care since the Prince was a child, teaching him as much as protecting him. When Jarvan began to lead his armies, Umal was right beside him, even defeating an entire Noxian battalion after Jarvan suffered a critical injury in a battle.

Umal's notoriety rests solely on his protective rage, a rush of strength and prowess caused whenever his comrades are in danger. Younger soldiers gaze in awe when the kindly stern veteran before quickly turns into a raging berserker that sends bodies flying with his might. Umal, to his credit, repeatedly says that he is solely a protector for those around him, not a fighter. ""His Majesty may be strong, but even the mightiest spear requires a shield behind it.""

Comments
As a support, I envisioned Umal as a protection-based support like Braum, but with an emphasis on a "big-brother" sort of kit. While his regular abilities help keep his allies safe, his enhanced abilities punish enemies that don't take the hint. His scalings with armor, MR, and health mean he's encouraged to build straight tanky to get the most of his abilities. His ultimate is like an enhanced Bond of Stone, counter-balanced by being only for a few seconds and only for one ally at a time. Overall, Umal's role in lane as well as teamfights as it to protect his allies and grant opportunities for them to kill their enemies without fear of retaliation.
