This article has recently been converted to the new character-focused layout but it needs a lore enthusiast to help fill-out the sections. In addition, 'Relations trivia' and 'Lore trivia' have been moved here but need restructuring into article content - lore is no longer trivia. If you're eager to help but would like to reference a completed character article: Aurelion Sol, Jinx, Mel, and Viego are excellent. |

Universe
A prodigy from the rough streets of Zaun, 
Ekko manipulates 
time to twist any situation to his advantage. Using his own invention, the 
Z-Drive, he explores the branching possibilities of reality to craft the perfect moment. Though he revels in this freedom, when there’s a threat to his friends, he’ll do anything to defend them. To outsiders, Ekko seems to achieve the impossible the first time, every time.
 | "My devices work best when they don’t work as intended… which is most of the time." — Ekko |

- He respects Heimerdinger as an inventor despite him residing in and working for Piltover.[9]

Trivia
XII on Ekko's 'bat'
- His canon appearances in chronological order: Enemy, Arcane, True Genius, Lullaby, Chronobreak, Seconds, The Unexpected Spark.
- During his release, it was stated that Ekko was a 16-17-year-old teenager.
- Ekko is basically a gifted, unrefined genius that tends to take on more than he can initially handle. He managed to create the Zero-Drive and the Timewinder simply through trial and error, and as a result splits the timeline to fuel his perfectionism[12]
- Ekko mainly uses the Z-Drive to undo his mistakes and find key points to exploit, such as taking down a Vigilnaut (the techmaturgically augmented goon he fought in Seconds).[13]
- Despite being able to undo physical effects on his body, Ekko retains some residual effects over the rewind, including physical pain and mental fatigue. His cognitive age does not change over the course of rewinding.[14][15]
- Ekko's facepaint and Zero-Drive are both shaped after an hourglass, an expression of his personality as well as the symbol he adopted for himself.[16]
- Ekko's 'bat' is a clock second-hand he stole from a Piltover clocktower (as evidenced by the Roman 'XII' at its base)[17]
- Ekko believes in and cares for Zaun and its future despite not fully understanding the bigger picture.
- As evidenced by his joke, the Zero-Drive sometimes functions unexpectedly.
- It being the product of makeshift hextech powered by a shattered crystal of undocumented properties might have something to do with it.
- The shattered crystal is implied to be part of the one that Viktor and Jayce fought over in their biographies.
- And that also implies the current Zero-Drive isn't the first of many broken before.
- The shattered crystal is implied to be part of the one that
- It being the product of makeshift hextech powered by a shattered crystal of undocumented properties might have something to do with it.
- The Timewinder is powered by the Zero-Drive.
- Ekko had at first another function for it in mind (likely a smoke/flash grenade) but several successive malfunctions prompted its current incarnation.
- Using the Zero-Drive, Ekko is able to create afterimages of himself.
- While in-game, an afterimage can be seen throwing his Zero-Drive to activate Parallel Convergence, in The Climb and Ekko's Arrival the device thrown is shown to be an unique one also shaped like a hourglass.
- This device temporarly stops the flow of time in an area area.
- This device temporarly stops the flow of time in an area
- In the non-canon The Path of Champions Adventure, one of Ekko's afterimage named Ozzi starts acting on its own and desires to not be reset and remain as an individual. It's unknown if afterimages from Runeterra Prime are also capable of this.
- While in-game, an afterimage can be seen throwing his
