the Magus Ascendant Xerath

Xerath, also known as the Magus Ascendant, is a villainous playable character in the multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends. He was once an Ascended Magus of ancient Shurima, who betrayed his emperor due to his desire for the power of dark magic. Xerath was imprisoned for millennia in a magical sarcophagus beneath the desert, but was freed when Shurima rose again. He now seeks absolute power and attempts to rebuild the Shuriman empire in his own image. Originally a slave, Xerath was valued for his knowledge by Prince Azir, who named him 'One Who Shares.' However, his thirst for power grew, leading to his betrayal of Azir. During the Ascension ritual, Xerath not only stole the sun’s power but also caused the downfall of the Shuriman empire. He now exists as a being of pure arcane energy, possessing powerful magical abilities, capable of unleashing potent arcane blasts from afar. He is not only a character in League of Legends but also a symbol of the tragedy of Shurima, a cautionary tale of the destructive consequences of the lust for power.
