Evelynn – Demon of Agony
Evelynn is a demon born from the Ancient War, taking on an indeterminate form, known only as a parasitic soul that voraciously consumes the most basic emotions of humanity to grow and survive. The details of feeling satisfaction from the suffering of other beings indicate that Evelynn is the demon born from agony. Her existence is a cycle: identify the prey – seduce them – deliver the prey they desire – torment the prey with what once satisfied them and devour them.
Nevertheless, Evelynn, along with Tahm Kench, is one of the most rational demons, learning how to charm their prey and make them taste delicious rather than playing tricks or scaring prey into terror like Fiddlesticks. Evelynn does not hesitate to transform to showcase her seductive curves, inviting any dapper man who falls within her sight.
Evelynn cannot stop her own desires and continuously uses her alluring form to satisfy both her prey and herself. However, in the end, Evelynn is always seeking out suffering, and having a seductive body is merely a tool for her to ensnare more prey.
Nocturne – Demon of Nightmares
Symbolizing nightmares and being a killer that can murder in dreams, Nocturne is the most fitting name to describe the demon of nightmares. Alongside Tahm Kench and Evelynn, Nocturne is also recognized and named by Fiddlesticks through their interactions.
Emerging from the nightmares haunting the minds of all sentient beings, Nocturne is the primal force of pure terror, the embodiment of chaos, a faceless specter with icy eyes and grotesque blades. Summoned when the Ancient War broke out, Nocturne gradually took shape and became a monster that siphoned away willpower and injected endless nightmares into their heads, pushing them to commit horrific acts against their own kind.
Although after the Ancient War ended, Nocturne weakened for a time, he has now managed to appear in the waking world by following the trail, turning peaceful dreams into an eternal nightmare true to his name.
Yone – Demon of Negativity (Azakana)
As the newest champion in League of Legends, Yone, taking the form of a dual-wielding swordsman, is the next host of a haunting demon. In the final segment of the “crossing to the other world” journey in the video “Spirit Blossom”, Yone encounters a mysterious demon. If we pay close attention, we can see that Yone’s journey prior was quite serene, until he was reminded of his own death.
In this encounter, Yone seized his opponent’s sword and delivered a fatal blow to the mysterious demon, seemingly finishing off the enemy, but tragedy also strikes here; he immediately becomes the prey of an Azakana, a demon that feeds on negative emotions. Azakana are a smaller type of demon compared to entities like Evelynn or Tahm Kench. While the latter two represent primal emotions like desire and addiction, Azakana represent more specific, personal issues, such as guilt, the fear of being forgotten, and so on.
Azakana have always existed, but their numbers have surged in Ionia recently due to the suffering inflicted by the war with Noxus on the land of Ionia. Hunting Azakana is no easy task, even for a swordsman who has once slain an Azakana and stolen its sword.
Jhin – Demon of Frenzy
Kicking off the three names still shrouded in mystery is Frenzy, the demon of madness. Although there are still many mysteries and not much detail regarding whether Jhin is connected to the demonic lineage, when thinking of madness in League of Legends, no one can surpass the Golden Demon.
A very reasonable hypothesis regarding Jhin is that he has been possessed by Frenzy and transformed into a madman with a hint of obsession and delusion. This is considered a plausible theory since Jhin, hailing from a humble background as a small-time performer, would find it difficult to challenge Guinsoo, Zed, and Shen – powerful and intelligent ninjas over the years. However, this remains just a theory, and the next demon of madness revealed by Riot, similar to Yone, could very well happen.
The Demons of Bliss and Obsession
The last two demons, Bliss and Obsession, are perhaps the demons that players will have to wait for in the near future. The Demon of Bliss may likely be a very tempting female champion, somewhat akin to Evelynn, seeking pain based on human physical desires.
Meanwhile, Obsession is a very mysterious name; surely this demon has caused some horrifying obsession in Runeterra, like… Yasuo on your team, for example. We may have to wait quite a while longer for Riot Games to unveil the full demonic lineage in League of Legends.
