A warrior as fearless as he is ornery, the yordle Kled embodies the furious bravado of Noxus. Many claim Kled has fought in every campaign the warhosts have waged, acquired every military title, and never once backed down from a fight. Though the truth of the matter is often questionable, one part of his legend is always the same: charging into battle on his un-trusty steed, Skaarl, Kled fights to protect what's his... and takes whatever else he can get.

Background

(TBA)

Appearance

(TBA)

Personality

Kled is a stereotypical hillbilly, with a distaste for "city folk" and a fierce sense of independence from society. Paranoid and territorial, Kled views all of Noxus as his property, and will gladly kill anyone he views as a trespasser. Though Kled doesn't answer to the Trifarix, he has fought alongside and inspired Noxian forces with his fearless and violent attitude for many centuries, and has been decorated with many honors. Because of his military titles (which may or may not be made up), Kled takes pride in his accomplishments and uses them as a means to prove his superiority over others.

Kled is very unfriendly, cursing often and is prone to violent outbursts and shouting. Kled shows a greedy side with his insistence on claiming land, and often places signs marking "Property of Kled" whenever he thinks something is his. Because of his short temper, he constantly berates his Drakalops steed, Skaarl, for her cowardly and unreliable nature. However, Kled does have a soft spot for his untrusty steed, and is overjoyed whenever she returns to help him in battle. Because of his chaotic nature, others often wonder if Kled is mentally-unstable.

Abilities

• Yordle Physiology: Kled is a Yordle, (a being from the Spirit Realm) and possesses several abilities natural to his species.
  • Immortality: Being spiritual beings, Yordles don't age the same way as normal humans, and cannot die naturally.
  • Yordle Magic: Just like any Yordle, Kled is capable of performing yordle magic, which he utilizes in tandem with his skills as a soldier.

Relations

Sion

Kled fought together with Sion back when Sion still lived, but doesn't think much of the new undead abomination.

Skaarl

Kled considers everyone (including himself, bizarrely) his rival and he sees Skaarl as his only friend.

Trivia

• Kled's name resembles Welsh noun cledd(yf) /kleːð(ɨv)/ "sword", from Proto-Celtic *kladiwos
  • Kladiwos might have been loaned into Latin as gladius, or both come from same PIE root *kelh₂- "to strike" (compare Brand's Pyroclasm)
• Skaarl is from a species called drakalops, immortal, unkillable wind spirits that embody the desolation of the Noxian Plains.
  • Kled's posters call Skaarl the 'pride of Noxus' and a 'decorated veteran of the battle of Bucket Creek', with the drakalops' gender changing depending on the poster; Kled knows that Skaarl is female, yet unaware of the posters' conundrum.
• Kled is over 1000 years old, older than Noxus itself as he was present among the Noxii during the Rune War and possibly even earlier than that. He has become a myth and an icon of the empire, even though most are not aware of his true appearance and the fact that he is a Yordle.
  • The battle of Drugne happened around some point between the year 0 and 400.
    • The General participating in the battle was a member of House Zavaan, which Elise became a Matron of at some point.
• Kled's relation with Noxus draws parallels with Poppy's relation to the founding of Demacia and a hero's reputation, although Poppy's name is not known.
• Kled is the most distinguished military person to ever live, although most of his titles are made up and/or self-proclaimed.
• Kled's 'mushroom juice' may be derived from the ones Teemo uses for his traps.
