As some of you might’ve known. There is a new League of Legends champion coming out this Summer. This champion is not only a Noxian, but he might be the third member of the Noxian Trifarix.
Note: This is a Top Voted fan theory about the new Noxus champion coming this summer. Even though it’s a fan theory, but it is full of logical information that connect to the Noxus’ history, champions’ Lore, and Riot Games’ latest DEV Videos.
Jericho Swain killed Emperor Boram Darkwill and established the Trifarix council ( Council of Three). Each representing one of the core Principles of Strength.
According to Swain’s reasoning, while a single person could doom Noxus through incompetence, madness, or corruption, a group of three would always have two others to hold any rogue third member accountable, ensuring that no individual can rule Noxus unopposed.
- As Grand General, Jericho Swain represents the Principle of Vision. The main face of government for the Empire.
As Hand of Noxus, Darius represents the Principle of Might. Commander of the elite Trifarian Legion.
We don’t know much about the third member but we know he is named as “The Faceless“. His identity is officially a mystery. Rumored to puppeteer the dark underbelly and politics of Noxus.
Unknown status to outsiders suits the Trifarix’s and the Faceless‘ purposes: sowing fear, suspicion, and unease among the enemies of Noxus allow the Faceless to walk more freely among those who might have their guard up.
In the Principles of Strength short story, we got some information about the third member of Trifarix.
“The third figure—only ever referred to as “the Faceless”—was a mystery. This individual sat unmoving, bedecked from head to toe in a many-layered, voluminous robe. They wore a blank, staring, glossy-black mask, and even the eye-holes were obscured with dark mesh, giving away nothing as to their identity. Their hands, too, were concealed, hidden in sleeves of thick fabric. Alyssa thought she perceived a vaguely feminine aspect to the mask, but that might simply have been the way it happened to catch the light.“
So many people believe the third member of the Trifarix is LeBlanc herself. As we can see in Alyssa’s thoughts, the third member has feminine aspects. However, Laurie ‘Scathlocke’ Goulding (He is Narrative Editorial Director at Riot) denied the third member is LeBlanc.
You guys are probably asking “If he or she’s not LeBlanc then who is the Faceless?”. I have a theory about this. However so many people have been theorizing about this character coming in League of Legends for more than ten years, however, he never showed up. His name is Marcus Du Couteau, yes that Marcus. Katarina’s father.
Marcus is the most experienced assassin on Valoran and he probably sure knows how to cover his identity, and Black Rose‘s spies are everywhere on Immortal Bastion, he must be cautious, he shouldn’t reveal his identity or even gender.
This is really an uncertain theory but there are some easter eggs that Marcus is coming in this Summer and he will be revealed as the third member of the Trifarix.
In the Champions in Season 2020 | Dev Video Ryan ‘Reav3’ Mireles says there will be a champion coming out, “a masked Champion who refuses to die“. He also says these: “And as for the masked stranger, well… some demons should remain in our past.”.
- After Swain’s discharge after the Battle of the Placidium, he came to know the Black Rose was still operating and puppeting the actions of Darkwill, betraying him to death on the battlefields of Ionia. After many years of preparation and the reunition of many allies, such as Draven and General Du Coteau.
- Swain managed to kill the Emperor of Noxus in a single night, with the newfound power of an ancient demon laying within the Immortal Bastion. Swain managed to kill Boram Darkwill with the help of Marcus Du Coteau and together they created Trifarix.
- You might be asking “but isn’t Katarina’s father dead?”. Well, we are not sure about that either. But I have a theory about that one too.
- Urgot says, Swain is the reason why Marcus has killed, however, Swain states he has nothing to do with Marcus‘ death. In Urgot’s lore, a Noxian agent visited Urgot.
Only when a Noxian agent arrived in the Dredge was Urgot finally forced to confront his own past. Though the spy recognized him and sought his aid in escaping, Urgot beat him mercilessly, and hurled his broken body into the darkness.
- This Noxian agent might be Marcus himself. Urgot is probably the main reason why Marcus was missing, his body is completely hurled and broken and this is why Marcus is bedecked from head to toe in a many-layered, voluminous robe.
- Also, King Jarvan III might have been killed by Marcus himself. We know Sylas isn’t behind Jarvan III’s death and there is no blood or wound in Jarvan III’s body.
- Marcus may have used some kind of poison to kill Jarvan III. An assassin is not all about blades. Sylas is also shocked and denied he didn’t kill Jarvan III. Swain probably got information from one of his ravens and learned about the revolution happening in Demacia and sent his most successful assassin: Marcus Du Couteau.
This fan theory makes the League universe more real. If you are reading a single book, make it more simple.
But if you are creating a universe. an actual universe, then keep it complicated. It gives it depth and allows for people to think about this and that. as if it were real.
