I wasnt worthy of ascension. Azir ascended only after he did something selfless and out of his Emperor-styled character (which mostly wont care for a single person). What I think for Xerath is that he craved knowledge and power, two things that ultimetly led to his downfall and the flawed ascension (which most likely twisted his mind), also that small part him shoving Azir and taking the power should be noted.

Renekton got insace cause he spent with also an insane person all those years, heck I would go insane after all the things Xerath might have spewed into Renekton.

Xerath wants power, and he would do anything to achieve it. I know more black and white characters suck but thats how riot is going now X/
