Who they are
Fizz is an ancient amphibious yordle who lives in the reefs near Bilgewater. He comes from a sunken underwater civilization that was destroyed by gigalodon attacks, and he slept for ages before waking to the surface world.
Known as the Tidal Trickster, he wields a Seastone Trident and commands sea creatures. His pranks cause chaos, though he generally helps those with good intentions and punishes those who abuse the ocean.
Their story belongs to Bilgewater. A lawless harbor where anything can be bought, and the dead come ashore.
Their story, step by step
- Step 1
A yordle under the sea
Fizz came from an ancient underwater civilization in what is now the Guardian's Sea, where artisans and warriors accepted him. He was known as a playful storyteller who told tall tales of the open sea.
- Step 2
Predators awaken
When the water warmed, fierce creatures woke in the deep. The city's rulers could not agree on a response, and Fizz volunteered to look for survivors and information about the threat.
- Step 3
The city falls
Before he finished, gigalodons attacked. They stunned prey with their shrieks, and thousands died within hours as the city was destroyed. Fizz was too late, his magic faded, and he fell into a catatonic state and drifted in the depths for thousands of years.
- Step 4
Waking to coins
He woke when copper coins, offerings from sailors, sank around him. Curious about the 'wooden fish' above, he followed ships up to the surface and eventually reached Bilgewater.
- Step 5
The Tidal Trickster
In Bilgewater he became a legendary sea spirit, the Tidal Trickster. Sailors credit him with commanding sea beasts and sinking ships. He means well, but his pranks often cause serious destruction.
Turning points
- Volunteering to search for survivors
- Arriving too late to the gigalodon attack
- Waking to the coins and swimming up to the surface
Where their story stands now
Fizz lives near Bilgewater as its trickster spirit. His good intentions still clash with the damage his pranks do, and it is not known how his old trauma shapes him now.

Where this fits in the story
- Bilgewater · step 1
The Serpent Isles
The islands are older than the port. The Buhru people live there and follow Nagakabouros, a faith about testing willpower.
- Bilgewater · step 2
The Reaver King
Gangplank ruled the port as the Reaver King. His murder of Sarah Fortune's parents set her on the path to bring him down.
- Bilgewater · step 3
Miss Fortune's revenge
Miss Fortune destroyed his ship, then consolidated control over the port and eliminated the Corsair's Conclave. Gangplank survived with Illaoi's help, and now rule of Bilgewater is disputed between them.
- Bilgewater · step 4
The Harrowing
Each time the Black Mist from the Shadow Isles reaches Bilgewater, the dead rise. Illaoi's divine power is one of the port's defenses.
