| − | As a young teen, Lee Sin was intent on becoming a [[summoner]]. His will and dedication were unmatched by any of his peers, and his skill drew the attention of Reginald Ashram, the [[the League|League's]] High Councilor at the time. While studying at the Arcanum Majoris, Lee Sin became frustrated with instruction paced for the other students. He spent his free time researching the nuances of summoning in hopes of graduating sooner. He made amazing advances in his arcane studies, surpassing all other students. By all indications, he would have become one of the League's greatest summoners were it not for one terrible mistake. Too impatient, he attempted to test his ability by summoning a beast from the Plague Jungles. What he summoned instead was a young boy, but not in one piece. He barely had time to look the boy in what was once his face before the jumbled human mass fell lifeless to the floor. A League investigation later revealed that the boy's entire village was obliterated by feedback from the ritual. |

| − | Lee Sin's talents were so promising that the League was willing to overlook the incident, but he could never forgive himself. He left the Institute and journeyed to the Shojin Monastery for eternal repentance, swearing never to practice magic again. Years later, hoping to atone for his crime with martyrdom, he set himself ablaze as a protest of the [[Noxian]] occupation of [[Ionia]]. He remained alive in this state, enduring searing agony for weeks. His actions paved the way for a League match wherein Ionia prevailed, but by the time he was doused, his eyes had been burned completely from their sockets. Hailed as a savior, he was reborn, and his will to act invigorated. He joined the League of Legends to continue his atonement with sweat and blood, a true monk's only possessions. |

| − | The events leading up to the Ionia vs Noxus rematch started when Lee Sin, a monk from the Shojin Monastery, set himself aflame within the Ionian Lotus Garden. He would not allow anyone to put out the fire until the three regions of Southern Ionia were freed from Noxus' occupation.<ref>[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/The_Journal_of_Justice:_Volume_1,_Issue_07#Angered_Monk_Sets_Self_on_Fire Angered Monk Sets Self on Fire]</ref> Lee Sin remained in this state of excruciating pain for over two months. After Ionia won their rematch against Noxus, he was greeted by his sister from the now liberated Southern provinces. Only then did Lee Sin allow the flames to be extinguished. Though his brethren swiftly brought the monk back to the monastery for treatment, he had already suffered the loss of his eyes due to the intense heat.<ref>[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/The_Journal_of_Justice:_Volume_1,_Issue_12#Victory_for_Ionia Victory for Ionia]</ref> |

| − | It has been ''strongly'' implied that he was the burning monk during the Ionia/Noxus feud, in [[The Journal of Justice: Volume 1, Issue 12|Issue 12 of the JoJ]], stating "His brethren hastened the monk’s blistered body swiftly back to the monastery for treatment. While it was clear that he would survive, '''the monk had suffered the loss of his eyes''', along with other severe injuries from the intense heat." These would seem to corroborate the "Mystic Meditation" icon, as well as the fact that flickers of flame can be seen in its portrait. This was later confirmed in his League Judgment, and Champion Background. |
