![]() The explosion brought down the building, killing the automatons, but Viktor's body was never found. Jayce was nearly killed by the automatons but managed to break free and destroy the crystal with his enhanced hammer. After it quickly became clear that the two were not going to talk each other down, Viktor sent the "army" after his former lab partner. What he found was a lab full of corpses dozens of bodies with their brains removed and placed inside what appeared to be an army of metal soldiers, all being powered by the crystal. The two argued, Viktor knocked Jayce out and stole the crystal, save for the small scrap that had been experimented on.Īn irate Jayce used the crystal shard to power a modified demolition hammer that he had been working on and descended to Zaun in search of Viktor. This power spike alerted none other than Viktor, who claimed that he had finally found a way to rid the world of hunger, disease, and humanity's other self-induced ailments, but that he needed a power source to make it possible. He finally got the idea to chip off a small piece of the crystal and, using a liquid metal alloy, ran a current through it that produced a massive power spike. He ran every experiment imaginable to no avail, and the constant string of failures-something he wasn't accustomed to experiencing-actually humbled Jayce, somewhat. It bounced around between their various scientists, none of whom could figure out what to do with it, before they finally assumed it was useless and gave it to Jayce. ![]() Sometime later, Clan Giopara explorers discovered a crystal in the Shurima deserts. Viktor was dishonorably expelled from the university as a result. ![]() Jayce argued this was a form of "mental enslavement" and a crime against free will, and reported him to the academy. Viktor created a revolutionary helm that could bypass the wearer's fear response, effectively allowing the divers to be controlled, but drastically reducing the potential for work-related fatalities. However, this led to many divers seeing "phantom corpse lights in the depths" and "suffering from chem-induced hallucinations" (from Viktor's official bio), with many divers being injured or killed in the resulting panic. At one point, the two invented a new diving suit for Piltover dock workers, giving them increased strength, stamina, and allowing them to dive deeper underwater. Viktor however, was more focused on using science to weed out human error, and his more questionable methods and philosophies were the source of great debate between him and Jayce. Jayce was more idealistic and wanted to push the bounds of science for the sake of progress. He did find a kinship with a young man named Viktor, the son of two inventors from Zaun, who had worked his way up to the academic world without the benefit of a rich family house or patron. Having found a rare intellectual equal, Jayce frequently worked with Viktor on various projects, and while the two developed a measure of mutual respect for one another, they were never good friends. ![]() It got to the point where most of the scientific minds in the academic community didn't want to work with him. In League of Legends lore, Jayce is an extremely intelligent scholar and inventor who became the youngest apprentice to ever be taken on by Clan Giopara, one of Piltover's well-respected ruling clans. While exceptionally gifted and genuinely altruistic-spending a great deal of his patronage crafting machines that bettered the lives of the city's working class-Jayce is also overwhelmingly arrogant. ![]() Here's a look at the key changes made to Jayce and Viktor throughout Arcane season 1. These changes allow the studios the liberty to tell their own unique stories while also masterfully paying proper respect to the parts of League's source material that matter most. While their stories are sometimes drastically different than how the characters are presented in League of Legends' original lore, many of the changes Riot and Fortiche have made are ultimately for the better.

Silco will actually be joining the League universe through the game Teamfight Tactics in February 2022 as a testament to the popularity of the show. Among these characters are estranged undercity sisters Vi and Jinx (formerly known as Powder), their surrogate father figure Vander, Yordle scientist Heimerdinger, Piltover peacekeeper Caitlyn, and Arcane's exclusive new villain, Silco, who was specifically created for the series. The series follows several popular League of Legends characters, focusing its attention primarily on the city of Piltover and the politically complex relationship between its upper-class families and those living in the polluted, crime-ridden undercity later named Zaun. ![]()
