Equal parts jolly and imposing, 
Gragas is a massive, rowdy brewmaster on his own quest for the perfect pint of ale. Hailing from parts unknown, he now searches for rare ingredients among the unblemished wastes of the 
Freljord, trying each recipe as he goes. Often intoxicated and extremely impulsive, he is legendary for the brawls he starts, which often end in all-night parties and widespread property damage. Any appearance from Gragas must surely foreshadow drinking and destruction—in that order.

Background[]
One night, when he had drained all the kegs and was left wanting, Gragas was struck by a thought rather than the usual barstool: why couldn't he brew himself something that would finally get him truly drunk? It was then that he vowed to create the ultimate ale.
Gragas' quest eventually brought him to the Freljord, where the promise of acquiring the purest arctic water for his recipe led him into uncharted glacial wastes. While lost in an unyielding blizzard, Gragas stumbled upon a great howling abyss. There he found it: a flawless shard of ice unlike anything he had ever seen. Not only did this unmelting shard imbue his lager with incredible properties, but it also had a handy side effect - it kept the mixture chilled at the perfect serving temperature.
Under the spell of his new concoction, Gragas headed for civilization, eager to share the fermented fruits of his labor. As fate would have it, the first gathering to catch Gragas' bleary eyes would shape the future of the Freljord. He blundered into a deteriorating negotiation between two tribes discussing an alliance with 
Ashe. Though Ashe welcomed a break in the tension, the other warriors bristled at the intrusion and hurled insults at the drunken oaf. True to his nature, Gragas replied with a diplomatic headbutt, setting off a brawl matched only in the legends of the Freljord.
When the fallen from that great melee finally awoke, Ashe proposed a friendly drink as an alternative to fighting. With their tempers doused in suds, the two tribes, formerly on the brink of war, bonded over a common love of Gragas' brew. Although strife was averted and Gragas hailed a hero, he still had not achieved his dream of drunken blissfulness. So once more, he set off to wander the tundra in search of ingredients for Runeterra's perfect pint.
Appearance[]
Gragas is an enormous man: tall, muscular, and immensely fat. He has fair skin and orange hair. Though he is severely balding, he has long hair growing from the back and sides of his head. He also has a large beard and mustache, braided and tied off with metal bands. He has various white tattoos of simple, curved symbols on his arms, torso, and head. He also bears numerous scars across his body. He usually wears little more than a tattered loin cloth and is often seen carrying a massive wooden barrel under one arm.
Personality[]
He is known for his rowdiness and ability to start fights in a bar. Despite this, he can be friendly when sharing his ale.
He is very passionate about making the perfect beer, and will get angered and destructive should someone insult his beer or try to pass off fake ingredients to him. Both scenarios will usually result in an explosion of violence and chaos.
Abilities[]
- Iceborn Physiology: While the reason for an outsider to the Freljord to be able to touch True Ice is unknown, Gragas is able to use the magical ice properties as a special touch to his already legendary brew. Being able to touch True Ice effectively makes him one of the Iceborn.
- Master Brewer: Gragas ale is known far and wide, even across the borders of the
Freljord. It is clear he is not some amateur brewer able to discern a true drink from a forgery. - Superhuman Strength: Gragas has an extremely strong physic. He is taller then most Humans, his head barely staying below most ceilings. He is described as having extremely muscular arms, the size of tree trunks. When throwing barrels against a wall, he is able to destroy it by sheer force alone.
Relations[]

Avarosan for unknown reasons. He once blundered into a deteriorating negotiation between two tribes discussing an alliance with Ashe. In his drunken stupor, he set off a brawl.

With their tempers doused, the two tribes, formerly on the brink of war, bonded over a common love of Gragas' brew.
