Original
05.10.2011
Xerath is an Ascended Magus of ancient Shurima, a being of arcane energy writhing in the broken shards of a magical sarcophagus. For millennia, he was trapped beneath the desert sands, but the rise of Shurima freed him from his ancient prison. Driven insane with power, he now seeks to take what he believes is rightfully his and replace the upstart civilizations of the world with one fashioned in his image.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • When Xerath dies, his body quickly becomes unstable and overly shiny, just to blow up a moment later, much like a nuclear-powered machine.
  • The icon for Xerath's ability, An icon for Xerath's ability Arcanopulse Arcanopulse is slightly similar to that of the Season 3 mastery Blast.
  • Xerath's dance is a reference "industrial dancing", which is evident in the song Pong by Eisenfunk.
    • A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
  • Xerath himself can be seen when he performs his taunt. As he disarms the parts of his sarcophagus, a person made of pure energy or electricity can be briefly seen.
    • When he dies this "person" disappears, what remains on the ground are the shattered remains of his sarcophagus.
    • It's likely that that form was his actual look before he got locked away.
  • Some speculate that Xerath is ambidextrous as he uses both left and right hands for different attacks and abilities, unlike most champions who almost always use their dominant hand (usually their right one).
  • Xerath, An icon representing Blitzcrank Blitzcrank, An icon representing Caitlyn Caitlyn, An icon representing Lissandra Lissandra, An icon representing Rumble Rumble, An icon representing Sion Sion, An icon representing Varus Varus, An icon representing Vi Vi, An icon representing Viego Viego, and An icon representing Ziggs Ziggs are the only champions who can apply crowd control on themselves.
    • Xerath's ethereal form imprisoned in a human-shapen sarcophagus also resembles Battle Realms' Master Warlock, consisting of an ethereal warlock inside another warlock's skeletal remains.
  • Xerath features as the An icon representing Ancient Ascendant Ancient Ascendant in the Ascension featured game mode.
