Mysterious even to other members of the Solid Rose Clasic Faction Colors Black Rose cabal, LeBlanc LeBlanc is but one of many names for a pale woman who has manipulated people and events since the earliest days of Noxus Crest icon Noxus. Using her magic to mirror herself, the sorceress can appear to anyone, anywhere, and even be in many places at once. Always plotting just out of sight, LeBlanc's true motives are as inscrutable as her shifting identity.

Background[]

Early Records[]

More than a thousand years ago, Leblanc was a member of the inner-circle cabal of mages of the infamous Iron Revenent Iron Revenent. During the height of his reign, LeBlanc conspired with the barbarian Noxii tribes and their god their god to bring him down. With this alliance, LeBlanc would betray her master, severing his ties to the Immortal Bastion and allowing the united noxii tribes to invade it. She also helped seal Mordekaiser's personal hound demons, LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator6 Tybaulk and another unnamed shadow demon.

This alliance between Leblanc and Vladimir would lay the foundations for the Solid Rose Clasic Faction Colors Black Rose cabal.

Plotting in the Shadows of Noxus[]

Over the centuries, others would join the Black Rose in its political schemes, like powerful nobles, exalted masters of magic, and beings darker still. This hidden cabal would guide the throne of Noxus Crest icon Noxus for more than a thousand years, orchestrating many of the empire’s most ambitious campaigns.

One of those nobles was named Lady Elise Lady Elise. LeBlanc, seeing in her a certain cunning and ruthlessness, would approach the poisoned, bedridden woman with the offer of joining the Solid Rose Clasic Faction Colors Black Rose. In an attempt to prove her worth, Elise would set sail to the Shadow Isles Crest icon Shadow Isles in order to find an esteemed item for the cabal, only to be mutated into a half-spider creature under the control of Vilemaw, the spider king.

LeBlanc saw this as a opportunity to travel to the Isles in safety. And thus began the pact between the two women, she would give Elise acolytes for sacrifice and in turn she would bring powerful artifacts from the isles. This deal would endure centuries until the present days.

During the final days of the First Demacian-Noxian War, LeBlanc spearheaded the resurrection of the national noxian hero Sion Sion, although he was deemed uncontrollable by the Grand General and was locked inside his own statue.

In time, Leblanc would manipulate and control the next candidate for the throne of Noxus: Boram Darkwill Boram Darkwill. The Black Rose aided in his bid for the throne, but when he took control, he refused the Black Rose's advisors, and Leblanc took drastic measures. She manipulated a young nobleman young nobleman into revealing the cabal and having it appear that the most prominent conspirators, along with Leblanc herself, were executed.

Years later, Leblanc would once again contact an aging Boram Darkwill. Paranoid about his aging body, Darkwill caved into Leblanc's demands. Once again, Leblanc had control of the throne. She sent the nobleman that she had manipulated all those years ago to die in the war against Ionia Crest icon Ionia, and it ended with Swain crippled and cast out. However, Swain came back. In the Immortal Bastion had lied a power that many had tried and failed to obtain: the power of Raum. Swain had found a way to use Raum to his own benefit, and with the knowledge, powers, and restored physical form that it gave him, he staged a coup and took over the throne in one night.

The Iron Maiden[]

In 987 AN, LeBlanc noticed the unusual talent and magic of a Noxian girl named Rell Rell, so she approached the family of the girl with an offer. She would induct the girl to Roseguard Academy, a hidden school of magical young-lings. She had the intention to strengthen the girl's magic so one day she could face Noxus’ most hated, ancient foe foe. She would grant Rell's mother the headmistress position of the Academy and continued to oversee the procedure until 986 AN when Rell escaped the academy.

Recent Events[]

In 996 AN, LeBlanc LeBlanc demanded LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator2 Tifalenji to return Riven Riven's runic blade back to her, threatening to take her life if she didn't bring it back.

On the same year, LeBlanc LeBlanc took the form of a tattoo artist and kept an eye on Samira Samira. Later, she revealed herself to LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator6 Indari, Samira Samira's mentor, and declared the Solid Rose Clasic Faction Colors Black Rose has plans for her.

In 997 AN, one year after the Death of LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator7 Jarvan III, the relationship between Demacia and Nockmirch lacked communication thanks to the turmoil of the Mage Rebellion. LeBlanc took advantage of this and created a clone of Garen Garen's great-uncle Hargold in order to pressure Lord Eldwyn to side with Noxus. Her efforts ended up falling and Nockmirch renewed its truce with Demacia.

Appearance[]

LeBlanc is a slender with dark purple shoulder length hair, golden eyes and paper-like white skinned woman, hence her moniker The Pale Woman. She wears notorious noble raiment with a distinct purple, black and gold palette. The most distinct ornament on her attire is her golden three point crown. She also owns a metallic staff with floating jewels on its tip.

Personality[]

Leblanc is a deceptive individual, often using her sorcery to trick, confuse, or convince people into serving her and the interests of the Black Rose. Leblanc is also clever, using all manner of methods to serve the interests of her and the Black Rose. Her ultimate goal is to have control of Noxus, whether publicly or by proxy.

Although she seeks the striving of herself and her coven, LeBlanc never takes the spotlight of her schemes. Instead, she manipulates others to do the dirty work for her, as she convinces them through their little struggles as she sees the big picture.

Abilities[]

  • Master Sorceress: LeBlanc can harness powerful magic capable of creating blasts of energy blasts of energy, energy constructs energy constructs, and item enchantments item enchantments. She also has an extensive knowledge of the arcane and the nature of magic itself, which helped her in noticing that Rell Rell had the right type of magic that could stop Mordekaiser Mordekaiser when he returns.
    • Illusion Magic Illusion Magic: Illusions are LeBlanc's signature magic. She is capable of casting illusions, clones, changing appearances and being at multiple places at once. This magic gave her notoriety and the nickname The Deceiver.
      • Teleportation Teleportation: LeBlanc is capable of teleportation from one place to another.
      • Clone Creation Clone Creation: LeBlanc is able of creating mirror images of herself that act independently but on her command. She is also capable of creating clones of other people as well.
      • Glamour: LeBlanc can take on the appearance of others.
  • Immortality: LeBlanc is millennia old, being around before the foundation of Noxus.
  • Guile: LeBlanc is a master in political intrigue and has changed the course of civilizations. She deceived Mordekaiser Mordekaiser and locked him away in the spirit realm, and planned Swain's Swain's death on the Ionian battlefields by manipulating Boram Darkwill.
  • Sorcerer's staff: Like all magicians, Leblanc has a staff with which she better channels her magical powers. Her cane is black and gold, it has only one point, and it has the shape of a waning moon with magic crystals in the center.

Sion Sion was resurrected under the help of the Black Rose, likely at LeBlanc's command.

Boram Darkwill Boram Darkwill[]

LeBlanc assisted Boram Darkwill's rise to Grand Generalship, but when he refused to be Leblanc's puppet, she orchestrated a revealing of the Black Rose, manipulating Jericho Swain Jericho Swain into revealing the Black Rose and its members. She then staged a fake execution of herself.[2] However, in the later years of Darkwill's life, Leblanc seduced him to her will once again with the promise of extending his mortal lifespan.

Jericho Swain Jericho Swain[]

When Darkwill refused to follow Leblanc's orders after ascending to the throne, Leblanc manipulated Swain into revealing the Black Rose and its members, including his own parents. In the later years of Darkwill's life, Leblanc and Darkwill sent Swain into a battle in Ionia Crest icon Ionia knowing he would lose, leaving Swain crippled. After Swain's takeover of the Noxian government and the establishment of the Noxus Crest icon Trifarix, Leblanc has spent all of her time (multiplied by her many doppelgangers) plotting Swain's destruction.[3]

Demacia Crest icon Demacia[]

LeBlanc may be plotting a war between Demacia Crest icon Demacia and Noxus Crest icon Noxus at the moment, with either one of her Black Rose spies or even a clone of herself having encountered Garen Garen and Quinn Quinn in the process.[4]

It is implied that LeBlanc was involved in the capture of Jarvan IV Jarvan IV by the Noxian army, based on the flavor text of LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator7 King Jarvan III.

Her interactions with LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator8 Incisive Tactician and LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator2 Black Rose Spy mentioning "golden crowns" suggest that LeBlanc might have been involved in the death of LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator7 King Jarvan III.
