Missing section(s):

Background, Appearance

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.

(TBA)

Appearance[edit | edit source]

(TBA)

Personality[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

Sion[edit | edit source]

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

Skaarl[edit | edit source]

Kled considers everyone (including himself, bizarrely) his rival and he sees Skaarl as his only friend.^[1]

The Northern Steppes ain't the place for fancy undies and golden piss pots. It's tough land. Ain't nothing go here but barbarian raiders, poison grass, and harsh winds. To survive, you gotta eat rocks and crap lava. And I'm the toughest, meanest, killingest bastard in these parts. So I figure that makes these plains mine.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

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"^[2] (compare Brand's Pyroclasm)
Skaarl is from a species called drakalops, immortal, unkillable wind spirits that embody the desolation of the Noxian Plains.^[3]
- 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.^[4]
  - 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.

+{{Background quote|A sane man would run... but I ain't the runnin' kind!|Kled}}
-==[http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/kled Cantankerous Cavalier]==
-The earliest known story of Kled traces back to the empire's infancy and the Battle of Drugne. In the dusty hills of those badlands, the First Legion was on the run from a barbarian horde. Having lost the two previous battles, the men's morale was low, the army had been forced to abandon its supply train in the rout, and they were a week's march from the nearest outpost.
+== Background ==
-In command of the Legion was a gaggle of wealthy nobles bedecked in spotless golden armor. They were more concerned with their appearances and the intrigues of their class than the men they were commanding. Worse, these commanders - though well versed in assassination and tournament fighting - had proven hopeless on the field. With the remains of the army surrounded by enemy forces, the nobles ordered the Legion into a defensive circle in hopes of negotiating ransoms for themselves.
+(TBA)
+== Appearance ==
-Then, as the morning sun rose, the mysterious figure of Kled appeared on the hilltop overlooking the battlefield. He rode Skaarl, an immortal desert drakalops. The mount stood on only two legs; its ear-like forelimbs fanned from the side of its head, hanging down apologetically, like a butler who had accidently dipped his hands in soup.
+(TBA)
+== Personality ==
-The lone rider stood on his steed's saddle. His {{ai|Violent Tendencies|Kled|weapon}} was rusted, his armor was worn, and his clothes were tattered - but a relentless anger burned from his one good eye.
+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 {{fi|Noxus}} as his property, and will gladly kill anyone he views as a trespasser.

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.
-'''''"I'll give you one chance to get off my land!"''''' Kled announced to the barbarian horde, but the [[yordle]] didn't wait for their answer. He spurred his steed and angrily screamed his {{ai|Chaaaaaaaarge!!!|Kled|charge}}.
+==Abilities==
-Desperate, starving, and furious with the nobles, the Legion's anger ignited like blasting powder at the yordle's insane act of bravado. The enlisted men rushed after Kled and Skaarl as they tore into the center of the enemy formation.

+== Relations ==
-What followed was the bloodiest melee the Legion had ever fought. The initial success of its surprise attack was crushed when the barbarians' reserve forces smashed into the Legion's flanks. With the battle turning against the Noxians and the enemy attacking from every side, Skaarl {{ai|Skaarl the Cowardly Lizard 2|Kled|panicked}}, threw Kled, and abandoned the fight. Like the cowardly lizard creature, the Noxian soldiers faltered. But at their center, Kled fought on, chopping down foes, kicking out teeth, and biting faces.

+=== {{cbi|Skaarl}} ===
-Enemy bodies piled around Kled, and his clothes were soaked with blood. Despite the casualties he inflicted with every swing of his long axe, he was still forced back by the barbarians' relentless tide. He screamed louder challenges and cruder insults. Clearly, the yordle was willing to die before ever backing down.

-Courage and cowardice are as infectious as the plague, however, and seeing Kled's determination, the legionnaires pressed on. Even Skaarl stopped running and turned to watch the Legion's last stand.
