Key Abilities:

  • Necromancy using Ochnun (language of the dead)
  • Self-resurrection through soul-binding to armor
  • Soul collection and construction of items
  • Creation and control of death realm
  • Command over spirits of the slain

Notable Relations:

  • Tortured Veigar, who later mimicked him
  • Betrayed by LeBlanc, who plots against his return
  • Theoretically stronger than Viego in direct combat
  • No connection to Kindred myths due to cultural background

Background: Originally known as Sahn-Uzal, Mordekaiser refused to accept death and taught himself necromantic powers in the spirit realm. He deceived mortals into resurrecting him and went on to build an empire through conquest and soul-binding magic. His influence helped shape the founding principles of Noxus: Vision, Might, and Guile.

Today, Mordekaiser remains a looming threat, with ancient souls fearing his eventual return to claim dominion over both the living and dead. His personal realm of Mitna Rachnun serves as an unassailable base of operations in the Spirit Realm.
