Zathias, the Battlemaster is a custom champion in League of Legends.

Lore
Ionia is famed for its notions of peace, sanctity and meditation into enlightenment. However, a more lesser known aspect of Ionian culture are their battleforms. And even lesser known, the Ionian fashion of using a mace. Ionian maces were swung around on chains, held by the combatants themselves. Utilising speed, strength and precisive strikes, Ionian macemasters were the paragons of the Ionian army. Most Ionians saw them as reckless in battle, where they preferred ultimate precision and skill, macemasters instead preferred to simply outmight their foes.

Zathias was no exception to this. An orphan discovered by an old lady on Ionia's shores, he became known as the Battlemaster and under the watch of his mentor and suspected love interest,, he became Ionia's ultimate warrior. Though looked down on Zathias' brash battleform, Zathias had proved himself in the battles between Ionia and Noxus. And when the other two Elders left for the League to fight for their country, Zathias was left in charge, to protect Ionia.

One night, a raven flew into Zathias' halls. An animal unlike anything he had ever seen, it carried a dark message: "Zelos fades under the Raven's grasp. Shall Ionia come for him?" Without delay, Zathias set off to find this 'Raven'. And so, his findings led him to the League. He entered without hesitation.

Playstyle and Personality
Zathias is a pure fighter, made to last in battle and make himself known. The key to playing Zathias well is decision: whether to activate his maces, or pour all his power into rooting his foes to the ground. His unique mobility mechanism must require a quick mind to use properly, as it is highly situational. All in all, a quick reflex can make or break a good Zathias player.

Zathias is a macho man, where bravado is his game. In the Ionian world, his attitude is especially considered as immoral. However, immorality runs asunder to his martial prowess. Having earned the title of Battlemaster, he holds himself in pride (though some would consider him arrogant). Nevertheless, when called to duty, he becomes someone entirely different. Paying the utmost attention to detail, he never fails to honour his country and his cause. In the end, he is honourbound to those which he loves most.
