the Shadow of War Hecarim

Hecarim, also known as the Shadow of War, is a champion in the game League of Legends. He is a spectral fusion of man and beast, cursed to ride down the souls of the living for all eternity. When the Blessed Isles fell into shadow, this proud knight was undone by the destructive energies of the Ruination, along with all his cavalry and their mounts. Now, whenever the Black Mist reaches out across Runeterra, he leads their devastating charge, reveling in the slaughter and crushing foes beneath his armored hooves. In life, Hecarim had been a lieutenant of the Iron Order, charged with protecting the lands owned by King Viego of Camavor. Due to his many victories in battle, the Knight-Commander of the Order had considered Hecarim as a potential candidate to succeed him and lead the Order, but when the Commander realized Hecarim's growing darkness and lust for personal glory, he concluded that Hecarim should never lead the Order. On being told of this decision by the Commander, Hecarim was furious, but returned to his duties with the Order. During the Order's next battle, Hecarim found the Commander surrounded by enemies and cut off from reinforcements. Hecarim chose to turn away and leave his commander to die. After the battle, the Iron Order swore allegiance to Hecarim, unaware of his involvement in their fallen commander's death.
