Renata
Renata Glasc is League of Legends 159th playable champion, and a new support option for players. Keep reading for a full breakdown of everything we know about Riot Game’s next League of Legends champion, including when we expect to see her released in the game, Renata Glasc’s abilities, and much more.
So far we only have a biography to give us a peek into this exciting new story. But, the biography is more than enough to tell us that not only is Renata one of the most interesting champions to date, but she will continue to impact the lore in a big way. It’s very likely we’ll see her as an antagonist or important character in Arcane – Season 2.
Diving into her biography we learn that Renata was not always rich. In fact, she was born to an incredibly poor alchemist family. Constantly haunted by poverty, Renata began to resent her parents for giving away their medical services for little to no cost to those who couldn’t afford it. While generous of them, her parents were unable to feed and take care of Renata because of their charity.
When Renata came of age she joined the family business. However, she had no talent for alchemy. Instead her abilities were more well suited for business and “turning a profit”. With Renata’s help the family business quickly became profitable and caused it to start growing.
Despite now having a reasonable income, the Glasc family still did not use it to better their own lives. Instead they invested the money towards research on an incredibly powerful medicine. While the research remained fruitless, the Glasc’s learned that those they used it on became extremely… suggestible. They would do anything you wanted.
Upon hearing about the Glasc’s and their affordable medicine, corrupt Piltovans who profited off the poor and sick Zaunites started planning to stop it.
This scheming led Camille, the Steel Shadow and a team of enforcers down into Zaun to deal with the Glasc’s for good. Left traumatized, Renata had lost her parents, her home and even her arm.
Determined to not repeat her parents mistakes and to avenge their deaths, Renata used the remaining research and her family’s medicine to begin building herself up. She helped anyone she could, but not for free. If they couldn’t pay her, she would demand their loyalty.
Eventually Renata had created a business, then an industry, then an empire. With her influence, she found the brilliant minds needed to complete her parents research and set them to work. Once they had finished the research Renata had a tool to control anyone she wanted.
Now Renata has sold this mind control to every wealthy Piltovan, and won the loyalty of every poor Zaunite. Renata is almost ready to take control of Piltover and Zaun, and perhaps the rest of the world.
Ancient history
When the League of Legends was created to prevent further rune wars in Valoran, disputes over battles were settled on the Fields of Justice by having summoners there summon extraordinary beings called Champions to fight against each other. These champions joined the League for a variety of reasons. Some are soldiers loyal to a particular nation and dedicated to the nation’s interests, others are famous warriors who wish to test themselves against Valoran’s most powerful beings. Still others are prisoners of the League who are forced to participate as punishment. Lastly, there may be beings from other worlds who wish to bring stability or chaos to Runeterra. However, regardless of the champions’ reasons, they have all attracted the interest of the League of Legends.
To join the League, a potential champion, who must have previously proven that he or she possesses exceptional qualities, must travel to the War Academy and undergo a review. There, a selected summoner tests the champion’s spirit to reveal the opponent’s motives. In truth, motives have very little bearing on whether a champion is accepted. The real reason for the League review is to find out if an individual can open their mind to a summoner, allowing the two to form a mental bond and function as one.
Champions in battle
Riot Games is constantly developing new champions for League of Legends. Each champion has individual abilities and characteristics, which a summoner must use wisely. Some champions use pure strength and power, others rely on lethality and devious accuracy, while others use supernatural powers.
