The Story of Locke
In the League of Legends universe, Locke — known as the Ashen Exorcist — is a lethal killer who strikes from the shadows and a wielder of potent magic whose story is rooted in Runeterra.
Locke carries the mark of their homeland in everything they do, and their tale is one thread in the larger story of the world.
Ties to Runeterra. The world itself — home to wanderers, ancient beings and champions bound to no single nation. Locke is counted among the champions connected to Runeterra — explore the wider region on its Runeterra lore page.
Role in Runeterra. In the fiction, Locke is a lethal killer who strikes from the shadows and a wielder of potent magic, usually seen in the mid role in play. Their in-game kit echoes this identity, but the lore frames them first as a figure of the world rather than a set of numbers.
Powers and presence. On the battlefields of Runeterra, Locke lives and kills in the shadows, striking with speed and precision before an enemy even registers the threat, and commands arcane power, bending magic to their will in ways ordinary warriors never could. It is this identity — far more than any statistic — that defines how Locke is remembered across the world, and how allies and enemies alike come to fear or follow them.
Others of Runeterra. Locke shares the story of Runeterra with champions such as Aatrox, Bard, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks. Reading their tales side by side reveals how a single region shapes very different heroes and villains.
