In the decades since, she has become Zaun’s wealthiest chem-baron, a business magnate who built her power by tying everyone’s interests to her own. Work with her, and be rewarded beyond measure.

Background

Early Life

Renata was born in the city of Zaun, her parents were brilliant alchemists who used their knowledge to make medicine, but they had a big heart that even rejected the money they were given, Renata got used to going to bed hungry because of it.

When she was old enough Renata was finally able to join the family business, but she was not as skilled in alchemy as her parents were, but her ambition prompted her to start charging higher class Zaunites.

She proudly gave the money she had earned to her parents, but instead of using it to live more comfortably, they used it to finance research into a new medicine that could prolong life. In Piltover, the leaders of the most powerful clans found out about the Glasc family's experiments and, not wanting a threat, they paid some vigilantes to kill them.

That same night Renata woke up suddenly to the screams of pain and fear from her parents, because they had set fire to their house around her. Renata tried to save them but lost an arm in the process. When the fire was extinguished, Renata was the only survivor, with only her parents' investigation in her hand.

Appearance

Renata Glasc is a middle aged, lean, and brown skinned woman. Her hair is black with strains of grey showing. Her eye colors are chemically altered and have a pink and purple hue. Her most notable features are her breather mask that she often wears and an elegantly designed chemtech-augmented left arm infused with chemicals. She wears an expensive white suit, with many intricate patterns and accessories.

Personality

Renata Glasc is a cunning and ruthless woman, determined to achieve her goals no matter what, having built her convictions from her past and doing anything to achieve her goals. Having survived the brutality of Zaun's streets, Renata decided to never again be put down.

Unlike other chembarons, Renata prefers to avoid violence, and instead resorts to manipulation, convincing others to do her bidding and satisfy her desires by tying their interest together, thus putting them in debt towards her. To manipulate the masses, she often feigns benevolence, taking advantage of crisis and tragedies to make herself a savior.

The trauma from her loss has made her deeply resentful of the idea of charity, deeming it foolish. She has a particular hatred towards Janna for not helping her family when she was young.

Abilities

• Alchemist: While not as skilled as her parents, Renata has proven to be a talented alchemist in her own way. She was able to synthesize perfume concoctions from various chemicals with desired side-effects.
• Entrepreneurship: Renata is a talented businesswoman, able to make secure lucrative deals in both Piltover and Zaun. She amasses considerable wealth through her business ventures, including her perfume company, Glasc Industries.
• Gun Proficiency: Renata is sometimes seen using a pistol which she has holstered on her whenever she ventures out in Zaun.
• Leader: Renata is a competent leader. Feared and respected amongst Zaunites, she would do whatever was necessary to ensure her visions came to pass.

Relations

Unnamed Parents

Renata held a grudge towards her parents for leaving the family in poverty when she was young. After they died, she looked down on her parents' methods of charity and dedicated herself to becoming successful to prove them wrong. However, underneath she still genuinely loves her parents and laments their deaths, wanting revenge on the ones which were involved.

Camille

Camille was among the Piltovan nobles responsible for the deaths of Renata's parents in 967 AN.

Viktor

After being expelled from the University of Piltover and returning back to Zaun, Renata would be responsible for funding Viktor's augment research.

Ekko

Ekko's parents, Wyeth and Inna, were forced to work in terrible working conditions under Renata's orders.

Samira

Renata funded the gunsmiths responsible for selling Samira her guns.

Wencher Spindlaw

Renata with her cunning was able to turn Chem-Baron Spindlaw to her side to do her dirty work.

Zeri

Zeri is a frequent nuisance to Renata, often sabotaging her operations throughout Zaun.

Elodat's Family

Elodat began working for Renata since she was twelve, and since then became one of Renata's most reliable devisers, with her providing Elodat's family with funds and jobs. After Renata demonstrated her Decanter in the Vesella Novelty Gala, she let Elodat visit her family after the demonstration. She also had no problem with Elodat's brother having a same-sex relationship with his male fiancé.

Trivia

• Renata Glasc utilizes a variety of chemicals developed by her parents as opposed to shimmer.
• Her name is Latin in origin and means Reborn (Renatus is the original latin name).
• Zaun's faction icon is based on the Glasc family crest.
• Renata Glasc bears a striking resemblance to Silco's and his position in Arcane. Both are the main rulers of their cities who result in brutal measures to achieve their goals of toppling the supremacy and dependency of Piltover. In fact, Silco served as inspiration for Renata.
  • While Silco is seen to use shimmer, the name of Renata's purple substance was never mentioned.
  • It is implied that Renata Glasc will try to succeed Silco as leader of Zaun following the events of the series, based on Jinx's interaction with her (▶️ 'You'll never fill Silco's shoes...').
