Missing section(s):

Background, Appearance & Abilities

As unpredictable as he is brutal, the dethroned reaver king Gangplank is feared far and wide. Once, he ruled the port city of Bilgewater, and while his reign is over, there are those who believe this has only made him more dangerous. Gangplank would see Bilgewater bathed in blood once more before letting someone else take it—and now with pistol, cutlass, and barrels of gunpowder, he is determined to reclaim what he has lost.

Background[edit | edit source]

(TBA)

Appearance[edit | edit source]

(TBA)

Personality[edit | edit source]

Gangplank is a cruel pirate captain who maintains his power through fear alone. As such, he can be exceedingly brutal in his methods, even torturing members of his own crew should they step out of line. With bone-carving and mutilation, Gangplank also showcases an artistic side in his own sick and twisted way. In his quest to be feared, Gangplank often touts his own reputation to frighten people into submission. He often remarks at how many have tried (and failed) to kill him, and shows a remarkable resistance to pain when he orders a doctor to amputate his arm without a fuss. Gangplank is shown to have little remorse for his cruel behavior, killing Miss Fortune's mother without mercy.

Abilities[edit | edit source]

(TBA)

Relations[edit | edit source]

Illaoi[edit | edit source]

Gangplank and Illaoi were in a relationship over a decade ago, but eventually broke up. After subjecting him to a Test of Spirit in order to get him back 'in motion', the Kraken Priestess ordered the Serpent Islander chiefs to support the Saltwater Scourge in retaking Bilgewater. They would lead Gangplank to Buhru artifacts that could control the Black Mist. Illaoi was Gangplank's first love. She would eventually oppose him alongside Ahri, Braum, Miss Fortune, Pyke, and Yasuo in Ruined King.

Thresh[edit | edit source]

Gangplank would enter a partnership with Thresh in Ruined King, in order to awaken and subjugate Viego to conquer Bilgewater. Viego's power would prove too strong for Gangplank and ended up controlling him instead.

Swain & Zed[edit | edit source]

Swain and Zed want Gangplank dead for stealing from each of them. Namely, Gangplank stole Swain's personal warship known as the Leviathan and ransacked the Temple of the Jagged Knife belonging to Zed's Shadow Order.

Miss Fortune[edit | edit source]

Miss Fortune managed to overthrow and 'kill' Gangplank in revenge for him murdering her mother back when she was a girl. Gangplank had only thought of Miss Fortune as the most persistent of bounty hunters, unaware that she is the daughter of the gunsmith he killed when she refused to hand over the twin pistols he had commissioned in order to spearhead his rise to Reaver King of Bilgewater.

Miss Fortune would defeat Gangplank again in Ruined King and had him detained in order to publicly execute him as a show of power. He would escape before his execution and entered a massive gang war against Fortune.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Death's Daughter is the name of the Dead Pool's (Gangplank's now-destroyed ship he took from his father) in the old main cannon.
- The ship Gangplank stole from Swain is called Leviathan, though it is unknown if it is the same ship as the 7 Leviathan that appears in Legends of Runeterra.
- His current ship is called 8 The Dreadway.
A tip shown in Legends of Runeterra and his artwork show that he likes to eat oranges dipped in the ocean beforehand and calls them "sweet and salty" (he eats them without peeling first).
