Twitch’s story
A plague rat by birth, a connoisseur of filth by passion, Twitch is a paranoid and mutated rat that walks upright and roots through the dregs of Zaun for treasures only he truly values. Armed with a chem-powered crossbow, Twitch is not afraid to get his paws dirty as he builds a throne of refuse in his kingdom of filth, endlessly plotting the downfall of humanity.
A place in Runeterra
Zaun
Zaun occupies the canyons and industrial depths beneath Piltover. Pollution and dangerous research shape daily life, yet the city also sustains inventive communities, rich culture and opportunities unavailable above.
Its relationship with Piltover combines dependency, exchange and inequality. The region is more than a backdrop for criminals: its residents build lives amid hazardous conditions and competing powers. Character stories reveal experiences that a description of the skyline cannot.
