Relations

• The Pantheon is the Targonian Celestial Aspect of War, a being who (unlike the Sun, Moon, and Protector Aspects) completely possesses his host (the current one is a Rakkoran warrior named Atreus, who was chosen for his determination and single-mindedness in the pursuit of battle) of which he has several (one for each planet Targon has claimed, Atreus being Runeterra's, their homeworld)
  • Before becoming the Pantheon's avatar, Atreus had accused Leona of not fulfilling her duty of slaying any creature that came down the mountain (in her case, the Sun Aspect himself) for which they met in combat (they fought to a standstill, with Leona being taken in by the Solari and Atreus training and defending his tribe until he decided to climb Mount Targon since the Solari were unwilling to pursue the enemies of the Rakkor)
