Their story, step by step
- Step 1
A curious yordle
Veigar began as an eager yordle from Bandle City with a talent for magic. He left home to learn celestial magic from human masters and quickly became skilled at drawing on the power of the stars.
- Step 2
Enslaved by Mordekaiser
His talent drew the warlord Mordekaiser, who enslaved him at the Immortal Bastion. For a very long time Mordekaiser bound him to the physical world and forced him to use his magic cruelly. The captivity changed his mind and his appearance.
- Step 3
Freedom
Mordekaiser's rule fell to a rebellion that included his own servants, such as LeBlanc and the Noxii tribes, and Veigar got free. He wanted peace, but the darkness he carried would not leave him.
- Step 4
The Tiny Master of Evil
He took on the role of a villain, calling himself the Tiny Master of Evil, and used dark magic to win the respect and independence he wanted. He took over a fortress, gathered a court of yordles and minions, and collected forbidden knowledge and artifacts.
- Step 5
Evil, or not quite
His deeds are mixed. He ruins estates and burns farmland, but he also defeats dark warlocks and evil creatures and drives off brigands. the lore suggests that part of him may be steering him toward good.
