AlistarAlways a mighty warrior with a fearsome reputation, Alistar seeks revenge for the death of his clan at the hands of the Noxian empire. Though he was enslaved and forced into the life of a gladiator, his 
unbreakable will was what kept him from truly becoming a beast. Now, free of the chains of his former masters, he fights in the name of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged, his rage as much a weapon as his horns, hooves and fists.
Minotaur
As the mightiest warrior to ever emerge from the Minotaur tribes of the Great Barrier, Alistar defended his tribe from Valoran's many dangers; that is, until the coming of the Noxian army. Alistar was lured from his village by the machinations of Keiran Darkwill, General Boram Darkwill's youngest son and commander of the Noxian expeditionary force. When Alistar returned, he found his village burning and his family slain. Bellowing with rage, he 
charged an entire regiment of Noxus' elite, slaughtering them by the hundreds. Only the intervention of some of Noxus' most skilled 
blood mages checked Alistar's rage. Brought in chains to Noxus, Alistar spent the intervening years as a gladiator in the Fleshing, pitted in endless battle for the entertainment of Noxus' wealthy leaders.

Brought in chains to Noxus, Alistar spent the intervening years as a gladiator in the Fleshing, pitted in endless battle for the entertainment of Noxus' wealthy leaders. Alistar's once noble soul slowly became twisted, and he would have been driven to insanity if not for Ayelia, a young servant girl who befriended him and eventually arranged for his escape.
Suddenly free, Alistar joined the newly formed League of Legends to fight as a champion, hoping to one day exact his final vengeance upon Noxus and find the girl who had renewed his hope.
Initially unwilling to cater to his celebrity status as a champion, Alistar has since discovered that there is power in fame, and he has become a vocal advocate for those whom the Noxian government treads upon. He also calls to light things that the Noxian military would prefer remain hidden - something that has made him very unpopular with Noxus' nobles.
His charitable work has earned him several philanthropic awards, which serve as an interesting contrast to the rage and destruction he brings to the League of Legends.

Alistar has no fear, hurling his massive frame into the heat of any arena battle. The mere stomp of his hooves causes the earth to heave, flinging his stunned enemies wildly into the air. Alistar can also charge headlong at his foes sending them soaring away helplessly. Ded by the fires of battle. Alistar's roar alone bolsters the fortitude of both himself and his allies. Wounds that would instantly fell a lesser being barely brake his stride. Alistar is much like the fury that drives him, relentless and unstoppable.
- Released in Alpha Week 6 (March 25th, 2009)
The last remaining survivor of his clan, Alistar was taken prisoner defending his home from the Altrians during the battle at Mogron Pass. The next ten years of his life are mostly a blur: chains on his arms and legs, the sting of a whip across his shoulders, and the dank recesses of a coal mine where he worked after being sold into slavery.
Forced to turn a huge pulley that would raise and lower miners into the coal shaft, Alistar's burden was constant and relentless. If he grew tired or slowed for even a moment, the overseers were there to punish him, taking bites out of his hide with their barbed whips and jagged spears.
His only relief from this constant agony came once a week when a slave girl by the name of Yessinia arrived to dress and care for his wounds. She was kind, and for a short while she was able to soothe the pain that Alistar lived with every waking moment. Yessinia's visits and her kindness were all that he had in the world.
