The word Baccai is a broad term used by Shurimans to refer to Ascended beings that, in the Ascended Host's eyes, were not worthy of being called God-Warriors. The term itself is subjective by nature.[1]

History[]
The Spurned[]
While the secrets of the Sun Disc were fiercely guarded by the Ascended Host, it was not an exact science. Those mortals who underwent an Ascension ritual but emerged flawed or incomplete were known as Baccai, and it was considered a kindness to end their inhuman suffering as quickly as possible.
Darkin War[]
The Shurima Ascended fallen into madness after their war with the Void. They soon transformed into Darkin, causing the later great Darkin War. It is unknown if any Baccai has interacted with the Void, turned into Darkin, or have any involvement with the Darkin War.
Present Days[]
Baccai are still hiding from the rest of Shurima. Most known Baccai are now guarding the many burried tombs, and the great library of 
Nasus.
Physiology[]
The Spurned
The Baccai share some physical elements with the god-warriors. Their lifespan is dramatically increased. However they are not immortal and can bleed, be crippled, or even killed unlike other ascended. Unlike their god-warrior and darkin counterparts, the Baccai forms are malformed and flawed so they do not have the same incredible strength, speed, nor strong affinity with different forms of magic.
Like the god-warriors, most resemble anthropomorphic versions of animals and even gain the unique attributes of such creatures. Because the nature of their flawed ascensions their forms are an incomplete as their bodies still retain humanoid features and flaws.
Trivia[]
- Xerath is a Baccai, just a unique aberration[2] as he did not take the traditional anthropomorphic form like other Shuriman Ascended.
- It is possible that the creature with a withered arm and birdlike features that Varus encountered during his travels back to Shurima was a Baccai, as it shared physical features of the flawed ascended.
- Rammus has been hinted at being a Baccai in K'Sante's interaction with him, though it has not yet been confirmed whether this voiceline is a joke or not.
