CaptainSlap Kassadin went into the void to save his daughter but he failed and became what he is now. He believed that she was dead but now we find out that not only did she somehow survive in the Void but she got out somewhere in Noxus. Maybe she aged and will become a new champion "the void huntress" or something.
The lore about his "daughter's return" is a reference to Rek'Sai, actually. Kassadin's daughter was lost to the Void. Awhile back, Riot stated that they were planning on bringing Kassadin's daughter into the game. Low and behold, we get Rek'Sai, which Riot made a deliberate point of specifying the gender on: Female. Kassadin's daughter wasn't just lost, she got turned into a fuckign Voidling. I feel sorry for the poor guy.

Like every other character with such interactions and they keep doing it to every new rework not realizing it's one trick pony or just continuing it because of mainstream hype over the same shit over again
people always need a villain. a SCAPEGOAT for their misery and pain.... someone they can blame for whats wrong in the world. Someone they can UNITE to go against. The weight of truth in that one fucking line is insane, i tell ya.
Ergon2000 Trust me with leblanc update soon they will fix her Lore. We need to see hos powerful she is, currently controlling most of demacias and noxus affairs, and being leader of black rose shows how powerful she is. She's Also the one that gave Swain power and still uses him for her own agenda which is why he considers her an enemy but with benefits.
Mola bola honestly i hope their level of power is the same: making Swain not only a cunning leader and strategist, but a man who can see memories of people through their soluls, only to have him be another pawn in LeBlanc's game, would be disappointing for me. Then again, I m a much bigger fan of Swain than LeBlanc, so i m not very impartial. Also, the new Swain seems less arrogant than the old one, and seems to have much more knowledge about the threats to Runeterra and Noxus
Ergon2000 Yeah I see your point, I love swains current lore and how powerful he is. I kind of ship him and leblanc so I hope LB has feelings for him or something, but we will see!
Mola bola i do think they have feelings for each other, but it s like the romance in an old spy/gangster movie, where they do love each other, but one constantly try to outsmart the other. The line where there s a LeBlanc in the other team sums it perfectly: "an assassin is due at any moment. That s how i knoe LeBlanc cares"
Raum knows the secrets by collecting a fragment of soul In the jinx interaction Swain describe the child's burning alive while Jynx looks them The demon of fiddlesticks recreates the voice of the children burning alive while screaming at jinx "all your fault"
Am I the only one who noticed that he teased at first Kai'Sa, but also Pyke? "They fight the mist above the sea.. never looking beneath". And he also mentioned something about the Ruined King and siblings from Aurelion Sol. What if those two are the next new Champs?
Nikodata C is Camille. Darius' Daughters won't be. And I'm pretty sure that wasn't Pyke, it was something more. The mist is to do with the harrowing, Pyke is unrelated.
Lmao what Swain and LB are players moving pawns. They're clearly rivals. The public + Kat, Talon, Cass think Swain killed General DC but Swain says he didn't so it's probs LB's doing.
@@Ai-bc3sc I havent read camille´s lore but "c" is a codename for one of the families... agents? benefactors? Anyways i think they was supposed to be dead.
To bad it seems he kills even the loyal ones on whims. "The spies where right, a pitty i had them executed" Darius "Your trust is misplaced old friend... ", "It was only a matter of time Darius, do what you must" He intentionally knows he is using even the loyal ones without a second care, dosent even hold a grudge or spite if they wise up and want to kill him. Definitely not someone you want to follow if you have even a fraction of a brain cell in your head.
My thoughts on the new Swain Kassadin - His daughter may have gotten out of the void Ashe - Found the bow somewhere else Aurelion sol - Other space dragons Bilgewater Faction - There is something underwater more/as dangerous as the black mist Blackrose - Swain might be agents them now Demon champs - All shaped by humanity as a reflection (Noc is now a demon) Elise - The vault that had all the dark relics (in thresh's lore) may now be the home for the spider queen Fiora - Tracer all over again Galio/Garen - The stone used in the armor/weapons may not null magic but are magic Jinx - Lost people cause of someone (maybe Vi) or herself Kalista - The oath to serve her king that was betrayed or to someone she cared for Katarina - Was told to kill Swain for her fathers death but it was not him (may have been the black rose :O) Darius/Draven - Helped Swain take power Irelia - Cut off Swains hand Kindred - There is a greater evil in Noxus (maybe Black rose or something else) Leblanc - Past lover but now enemy maybe do to him not liking the black rose Singed - Worked for Darkwill during the Ionian war (Darkwill being the leader of Noxus before Swain) Rakan - May have killed a raven vastaya for the magic in its blood Ward 3 - Conquered a demon maybe were his power comes from Swain is the man who made himself the villain to stop/stand against something of greater evil
The Black Rose is an ancient organization that is situated in Noxus, currently led by LeBlanc ingame members are LeBlanc, Swain, Elise and Vlad this could all change when they update the Noxus lore
Swain is probably a double agent, he gotta be villain to know who exactly wants to destroy Noxus. Swain seems like a wise man, he knows what he has to do.
Somethings far worse under the water might be the black liquid in Naut’s lore, the kat interaction might be garen asking kat to kill swain ( hinting their relationship, just my silly thought).
God Damn, so what I from this was - Kassadin's Daughter's back - Aurelian sol has siblings - More bligewater stuff -Ruined King (blade of the ruined king) lives while their's another king? - Ashe was lying about Grave? -Kalista made the first oath with someone (maybe ruined king) -The void is pattern that can make things alive? (metaphor) - Swain's arms was cut so he replaced it with a demon or vastaya arm? (Maybe he meant he killed vastayans?) - Irelia might have been the one to cut off his arm -Warwick had a girl before? (Soraka? Vi?)
That voiceline with kindred made me think on a scenario . Lets say mordekaiser comes back and kills swain to reclaim the Bastion and the kindred come to take swain by the lambs arrow or by the wolfs teeth but instead he says that voiceline and convices kindred that if mordekaiser won he would turn everyone into undead and ban death itself a.k.a kindred like what happened in the shadow isles . Swain Makes a Deal with death , then kindred brings swain back to life instead of taking him so he can stop mordekaiser .
The problem with this is that mortekaiser and kindred are nowhere near each other in power levels. Morte might be a “ruler” of death but he doesnt compare to kindred. Kindred is a god of death in the literal sense and morte is just some really strong guy thats ruling over a not-so-death realm
i know your comment is old but Kayn was taken in by Zed from a very young age and taught and trained him in the forbidden ways. I think its fair to assume that to learn the forbidden ways Zed was probably pretty abusive to him and as such Kayn views Zed almost as a father and yet Zed would likely throw away Kayn's life if he had to.
Probably because Kayn was a child soldier who was send to Ionia and he didn't had the best childhood. Zed let him into his order and just saw him as the "Next leader of the shadow order!" Kayn has infinite respect for his master and probably thinks Zed is so proud of him and loves him but in reality Zed is just looking for a successor. TLDR: kayn was abused child soldier so zed's ambitions feel like love for him even tho they aren't. Or maybe Kayn has a one way relationship with his sensei.
All this coments before me are pretty accurate. But it's not true that Zed didn't care for Kayn. you can see in the comics that Zed cares for Kayn a lot. I think the line goes to Raahst to be honest. Kayn has some serious problems with his mental and is scared to be left alone. Wehn Kayn becomes Shadow Assasin he keeps on talking to Raahst even tho Raahst is gone. He wants to show him how good he can kill without him, it seems like for me Kayn wants taht Raahst is proud of him. You can notice this even more when you listen to the Odyssey Skin. Raahst on the other way doesn't care about Kayn at all. Raahst just wants his body and his Shadow abilities wich makes him even stronger.
@@schuyllervanderhorst8648 if you read the Zed Comic you will be surprised how wholesome Zed and Kayn is. Zed really took Kayn as something of a disciple (and being a father figure to him) that he could trust Kayn to look over things while he is gone while Kayn returned the leadership of the shadows and comply quickly to orders without any questions.

Ergon2000 Yeah I see your point, I love swains current lore and how powerful he is. I kind of ship him and leblanc so I hope LB has feelings for him or something, but we will see!
Mola bola i do think they have feelings for each other, but it s like the romance in an old spy/gangster movie, where they do love each other, but one constantly try to outsmart the other. The line where there s a LeBlanc in the other team sums it perfectly: "an assassin is due at any moment. That s how i knoe LeBlanc cares"
Draven Taunt: "Fame has gone to your head, and found ample room inside."
Good god, what a burn!
Even better was the ally draven one. "you stood by me when i was outcast so I stood by you when you were drunk....despite the stench"
It seems Draven and Swain got some bro moment in lore.
Shinigami Kenpachi pretty much like Jax and Gragas..
Fun fact: His voice actor is James Faulkner, who played Randyll Tarly in Game of Thrones
Another fun fact, in Polish Version he is voiced by Artur Dziurman - Voice of Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter movies
imagined if Charles Dance voiced Swain
@@RuzYT God that would be perfect
Swain: *collects his own soul fragment* ... I already knew that
XDDDD
You can sit on a throne. That doesn't make you a ruler. It only means you have an arse.
BEST. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE. ROAST.
Giant Enemy Crabgot wait, where is this one
Giant Enemy Crabgot nvm found it
Raum knows the secrets by collecting a fragment of soul
In the jinx interaction Swain describe the child's burning alive while Jynx looks them
The demon of fiddlesticks recreates the voice of the children burning alive while screaming at jinx "all your fault"
And also Warwick does mention remembering Jinx, saying "I remember you, you were there"
Dude jinx has a seriously messed up past
Dude all these references make me starve for Arcane
@@yolosilvia2005 same
Yes they are in arcane
Am I the only one who noticed that he teased at first Kai'Sa, but also Pyke? "They fight the mist above the sea.. never looking beneath". And he also mentioned something about the Ruined King and siblings from Aurelion Sol. What if those two are the next new Champs?
I know this is late but im pretty sure he teased ,,C" and darius's daughter as one of the next champs
Nikodata C is Camille. Darius' Daughters won't be. And I'm pretty sure that wasn't Pyke, it was something more. The mist is to do with the harrowing, Pyke is unrelated.
@@TheGoob65 Nautilus maybe
@@TheGoob65
Well pyke seems to be working from the swimming city 🤔
He also teased Sylas "All visions lead to Demacia"
Everyone else: Wow there's a lot of lore mentioned here.
Me: *SWAIN IS BONING LEBLANC*
Ed Villa ummm yeah lore.
DragonXOscuro Plue Yeah that was largly gibberish, but the quote is that someone told kat to kill Swain but she has thusfar been unable.
i thought that was already canon??
Lmao what
Swain and LB are players moving pawns.
They're clearly rivals.
The public + Kat, Talon, Cass think Swain killed General DC but Swain says he didn't so it's probs LB's doing.
Kat killed her own father, its pretty obvious.
You stood by my when i was outcast, so i stood by you when you were drunk... in spite of the stench. XD
I think they are best buddies forever x)
Swain: My My does your dear grandniece know what "c" has been up to?
Me, who has read Caitlyns lore:
*Hol' the fuck up*
Who is ‘C’?
@@Ai-bc3sc Camille i guess
@@Ai-bc3sc I havent read camille´s lore but "c" is a codename for one of the families... agents? benefactors? Anyways i think they was supposed to be dead.
@@noahschwabe9540 No it is not criminal C is Camille.
@Theunwantedwings i stand for C being Camille and Corina being a puppet of hers
"There can be no balance with a hand on the scale."
This one line alone is the perfect argument against Shen, and Swain isn't even Ionian!

Seems something tywin would say lol perfect character to emulate
“She was closer than he realized” Warwick is Vander
"She claimed it was the frost queen's grave. They believed her."
As an Ashe main... I NEED to know more about this shit omggg
Read the comic
“A child who had known only hate... Confuses it for love.”I WAS NOT EXPECTING KAYN FEELS
I really like how he comments on the team's progress and when taking objectives. Makes him feel like an actual leader.
I like this guy. He's snarky without it being obnoxious (cough xayah and rakan cough).
Evan Overby Yeah, he doesn't seem to hate his enemies. To him it's natural to have enemies.
And that voice, sweet jesus. I'd listen to him narrate an audiobook. Or a documentary. My ears are happy.
4:23 "Take care of Powder" Power steps around the corner moments later. lol
Who taught you how to punch.
Him being able to draw info from the soul fragments that he collects was an amazing idea!
'You can sit on a throne.
That doesn't make you a ruler.
It only means you have an arse' LOL
Reaper Grim Time?
Anyone else imagined Swain, Draven, and maybe even Darius at a bar, and have to carry Draven out because he drank too much?
animegx45 LMAO YES. These three have so much potential for a sitcom. XD
Riot we demand a comic on this.
AND TALON, please dont forget talon
Yeah then a draven axe fell onto his arm and cut it off the end
eduhaposa dude, talon hates swain lul he believes he killed his step daddy lul
2:34 in 2018 "what is that supposed to mean?"

Damn it hits so different now.
damn I'd listen to an audiobook by this voice actor. amazing.
VinylSnapz Music and Visuals Wanna start from Nevermore? :3
He's Sam's dad from. GAME OF THRONES
Ive alweys knew that bard it's actually ahri
I FUCKEN KNEW IT!!
They're both a pile of blankets too. Ahri's fluffy tails and Bard's fluffy...face?
So, Bard is Ahri´s ass? That would explain something
Bard's sexy enough to be Ahri, that's for sure.
Any man who must say he's winning is not truly winning.
Tells LeBlanc he is winning.
Viper CRB *hint,hint*
Swain is the only champ that genuinely feels like he knows exactly what he's doing.
His quotes from collecting souls are reminding me of the heart from dishonored
Omg me too
Lol true!
Is it me or does Swain seem very knowledgeable about many things and characters? It fits him well as a general/tactician
D. DeJesus It appears he gets to see some memories when he steals souls with his passive
Beatrice whispers the secrets of the souls she steals.
I like how every new 'Special Interactions' video it gets longer and longer.
He dropped teasers for both Kai'sa and Pyke O_o (the intro and "They fight the mist above the seas, never looking beneath")
Wasn't pyke, the sea was always a threat
Petrichor maybe nautilus
He also teased mordekaiser rework
And fiddlesticks.
he teased the "sea monster" thingies from legends of runeterra by saying the quote you mentioned
New Vladimir skin looks pretty cool
Best comment 2018
+Random dude The stupidest comment of the decade. I suppose.
YASUOO what? this kind of joke existed 6 years ago such as those "ryze rework seems looking good" etc.. But judging to your name no wonder..
FINALLY, a champion that says things to reward you for taking any objective. This is a champion i can get behind.
Austin Hale and a champion who acknowledges assist. Yay, more love for the Support Mains. Thanks Rito!!!
"This is not even my final form"
So you're saying there is demon form with godly ki?
lmao
Heimer Donger super sayin demon god super sayin
demon form 1 of 20
God Bird Swain confirmed
no hes going even further beyond haaaaaaaaaaaa
2:28 these guys foreshadowed arcane 3 years in advence , u can also see in the fiddle voice interactions he says it was all jinxes fault
It's not foreshadowing tho?
That lore was always there, arcane just animated it

HE KNOWS EVERYHING WE WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!
As long as you hit your W :))
Bruh, i'd die for Swain in battle, the rally when from behind interactions got me loyal.
same!
To bad it seems he kills even the loyal ones on whims.
"The spies where right, a pitty i had them executed"
Darius "Your trust is misplaced old friend... ", "It was only a matter of time Darius, do what you must"
He intentionally knows he is using even the loyal ones without a second care, dosent even hold a grudge or spite if they wise up and want to kill him.
Definitely not someone you want to follow if you have even a fraction of a brain cell in your head.
*Ally Kata steals kill*
"You've exceeded my expectations."
My thoughts on the new Swain
Kassadin - His daughter may have gotten out of the void
Ashe - Found the bow somewhere else
Aurelion sol - Other space dragons
Bilgewater Faction - There is something underwater more/as dangerous as the black mist
Blackrose - Swain might be agents them now
Demon champs - All shaped by humanity as a reflection (Noc is now a demon)
Elise - The vault that had all the dark relics (in thresh's lore) may now be the home for the spider queen
Fiora - Tracer all over again
Galio/Garen - The stone used in the armor/weapons may not null magic but are magic
Jinx - Lost people cause of someone (maybe Vi) or herself
Kalista - The oath to serve her king that was betrayed or to someone she cared for
Katarina - Was told to kill Swain for her fathers death but it was not him (may have been the black rose :O)
Darius/Draven - Helped Swain take power
Irelia - Cut off Swains hand
Kindred - There is a greater evil in Noxus (maybe Black rose or something else)
Leblanc - Past lover but now enemy maybe do to him not liking the black rose
Singed - Worked for Darkwill during the Ionian war (Darkwill being the leader of Noxus before Swain)
Rakan - May have killed a raven vastaya for the magic in its blood
Ward 3 - Conquered a demon maybe were his power comes from
Swain is the man who made himself the villain to stop/stand against something of greater evil
The Black Rose is an ancient organization that is situated in Noxus, currently led by LeBlanc
ingame members are LeBlanc, Swain, Elise and Vlad
this could all change when they update the Noxus lore
swain's not in the black rose, he just is heavily supported by them
just saying what was on the wiki and anyway it might change soon :3
Swain is probably a double agent, he gotta be villain to know who exactly wants to destroy Noxus. Swain seems like a wise man, he knows what he has to do.
Somethings far worse under the water might be the black liquid in Naut’s lore, the kat interaction might be garen asking kat to kill swain ( hinting their relationship, just my silly thought).
Holy crap this guy is just bursting with lore!
of course, he's a general plus an old dude
Riot hit the nail perfectly with this anti hero type character. That’s awesome.
*Anti-Villain
He is not a Anti-Hero by any means. Look up the difference.
nicolae cutzarida ah my bad.
Swain collecting Fiora fragment: She spurned so many suitors, a wonder they did not see why
Me: ah yes... LESBIAN
Right I just realized
1:11 samira :OO
@@firstnamelastname8465 Not samira, she is the "Desert Rose". Black rose is Leblanc's group in noxus, the people manipulating behind the scenes
Its not really confirmed, it might also be about the fact that she is unbeaten in duel.
Can't suitors also be female?
I like how he's talking in 3rd person.
Would make sense,if he had more lines like that,i mean,lines where he is talking to beatrice,like when walking or something
God Damn, so what I from this was
- Kassadin's Daughter's back
- Aurelian sol has siblings
- More bligewater stuff
-Ruined King (blade of the ruined king) lives while their's another king?
- Ashe was lying about Grave?
-Kalista made the first oath with someone (maybe ruined king)
-The void is pattern that can make things alive? (metaphor)
- Swain's arms was cut so he replaced it with a demon or vastaya arm? (Maybe he meant he killed vastayans?)
- Irelia might have been the one to cut off his arm
-Warwick had a girl before? (Soraka? Vi?)
Shaeel Qureshi the void thing was a metaphor
Shaeel Qureshi the oath is probably to the living ruined king then
aurelion siblings was known a lot earlier ^^
He also implies that Katarina killed her father.
Seiden Fuchs But WW's story was redconed and he is no longer related to Soraka, but her story isn't updated yet. Singed created Warwick.
"An assassin is due at any moment. It is how Leblanc cares."
I'd hate to see when she is in love then.
A whole guild worth of thieves, assassins ands spies, perhaps?
That voiceline with kindred made me think on a scenario .
Lets say mordekaiser comes back and kills swain to reclaim the Bastion and the kindred come to take swain by the lambs arrow or by the wolfs teeth but instead he says that voiceline and convices kindred that if mordekaiser won he would turn everyone into undead and ban death itself a.k.a kindred like what happened in the shadow isles . Swain Makes a Deal with death , then kindred brings swain back to life instead of taking him so he can stop mordekaiser .
Perhaps a promotion is in order, would you like your own warband?
@@geromlarayos6696 very interesting offering I must admit...
God-tier theory crafting, nice job. Cool idea.
The problem with this is that mortekaiser and kindred are nowhere near each other in power levels.
Morte might be a “ruler” of death but he doesnt compare to kindred. Kindred is a god of death in the literal sense and morte is just some really strong guy thats ruling over a not-so-death realm
@@berkemelihmalkoc2689 Kindred is still only a personification of death, nothing more. Death can be cheated
oh my god irelia finally has new lore and she was the one who cut swain's arm off?! Oh boy i can't wait for her rework lore now!
Why do I need a philosopher degree to understand this guy's soul fragments quotes?
Swain (to Kayn): "A child who had known only hate... confuses it for love."
Can someone explain to me this quote
i know your comment is old but Kayn was taken in by Zed from a very young age and taught and trained him in the forbidden ways. I think its fair to assume that to learn the forbidden ways Zed was probably pretty abusive to him and as such Kayn views Zed almost as a father and yet Zed would likely throw away Kayn's life if he had to.
Uchihas?
Probably because Kayn was a child soldier who was send to Ionia and he didn't had the best childhood.
Zed let him into his order and just saw him as the "Next leader of the shadow order!" Kayn has infinite respect for his master and probably thinks Zed is so proud of him and loves him but in reality Zed is just looking for a successor.
TLDR: kayn was abused child soldier so zed's ambitions feel like love for him even tho they aren't.
Or maybe Kayn has a one way relationship with his sensei.
All this coments before me are pretty accurate. But it's not true that Zed didn't care for Kayn. you can see in the comics that Zed cares for Kayn a lot. I think the line goes to Raahst to be honest. Kayn has some serious problems with his mental and is scared to be left alone. Wehn Kayn becomes Shadow Assasin he keeps on talking to Raahst even tho Raahst is gone. He wants to show him how good he can kill without him, it seems like for me Kayn wants taht Raahst is proud of him. You can notice this even more when you listen to the Odyssey Skin. Raahst on the other way doesn't care about Kayn at all. Raahst just wants his body and his Shadow abilities wich makes him even stronger.
@@schuyllervanderhorst8648 if you read the Zed Comic you will be surprised how wholesome Zed and Kayn is. Zed really took Kayn as something of a disciple (and being a father figure to him) that he could trust Kayn to look over things while he is gone while Kayn returned the leadership of the shadows and comply quickly to orders without any questions.
"There can be no balance with a hand in the scale" Swain telling this to Shen and it's such an awesome line, since Swain is more right than he knows.
