Who is Viktor in League of Legends ?
In the video game, the character of Viktor has a completely different appearance from the one he has in Arcane. Where, in the Netflix series, Viktor’s style is particularly close to a modern hooded Jesus who performs miracles, in League of Legendshe looks more like a kind of Iron Man with a third mechanical arm option (and death ray). It must be said that in the lorethe character from Zaun is convinced that the future of humanity depends on technology.
Devoting his life to his work and inventions, he therefore modified his body using steel and science. According to the game’s official encyclopedia, “Viktor surgically amputated the elements of his body and psyche that relied on emotion” to replace the majority of his anatomy with “mechanical improvements”which irreparably changed his personality.
His sworn enemy is also well known to fans ofArcane : this is Jayce, a renowned scientist with whom Viktor worked on Hextech. Given their differences in the series and the finale of episode 6 of season 2, in which we witness the possible death of Viktor at the hands of Jayce, we can actually understand that their relations are not particularly good. .
Jinx mentions Viktor’s official title in League of Legends
In League of Legendseach playable champion has a name, but also a title linked to it. For example, Jinx is known as the “Crazy Trigger”, while Jayce is referred to as the “Protector of the Future” (a title loaded with meaning since Act II ofArcane was revealed, probably linked to his mysterious relationship with Hextech). Viktor is generally referred to as the “Herald of the Machines”.
A nickname that we find in episode 6 of season 2 ofArcanesince Jinx describes the heavenly place set up by Viktor as a “underground utopia run by a tin can who calls himself the Herald of Machines”.
Viktor pronounces his cult phrase League of Legends In Arcane
