the Hexplosives Expert Ziggs

Ziggs, the Hexplosives Expert, is a Yordle from Bandle City, known for his love of bombs and explosions. In League of Legends, Ziggs was born with a talent for tinkering, but his chaotic, hyperactive nature was unusual among yordle scientists. Aspiring to be a revered inventor like Heimerdinger, he rattled through ambitious projects with manic zeal, emboldened by both his explosive failures and his unprecedented discoveries. Word of Ziggs' volatile experimentation reached the famed Yordle Academy in Piltover, and its esteemed professors invited him to demonstrate his craft. However, his characteristic disregard for safety brought the presentation to an early conclusion when the hextech engine Ziggs was demonstrating overheated and exploded, blowing a huge hole in the wall of the Academy. The professors sternly motioned for him to leave. Devastated, Ziggs prepared to return to Bandle City in shame. However, before he could leave, a group of Zaunite agents infiltrated the Academy and kidnapped the professors. The Piltover military tracked the captives to a Zaunite prison, but their weapons were incapable of destroying the fortified walls. Determined to outdo them, Ziggs began experimenting on a new kind of armament and quickly realized he could harness his accidental gift for demolition to save the captured yordles. He created a line of powerful bombs he lovingly dubbed "hexplosives". Testing his new inventions, he sneaked into the Zaun prison, using bombs to blast open the prison walls and free the captive yordles. Returning to the Academy, Ziggs was recognized with the honorary title of Dean of Demolitions.
