Master Yi

Original Master Yi

Treasures from days long passed, glimmering just within reach.

Legacy

Ever since Yi gave up the ideals of Wuju style, he's been a terror to Noxian forces. A blade in the night, he strikes at the foes of Ionia with deadly precision. With every whisper of the leaves they shudder, expecting the next moment to be their last.

The PROJECT Corporation believes unlocking the secrets of humanity's potential is the key to progress beyond our mortal bodies. It is through technology that we will ascend. Together.

PROJECT

Among the mega-structures and packed streets of a future controlled by global corporations, a shadow war rages between rebellious, augmented humans and newly empowered artificial beings. The winners will shape the course of history... and the losers will be forced to evolve.

One of the first concepts, Yi was held by PROJECT for extensive experimentation, and then finally freed by the G/NETIC rebels. His psyche may still contain some glitches, but his experimental hyperlight “alpha” blade serves the resistance with its precision balance.

An ancient cult, seeking irresistible power, surfaces on nights of the Blood Moon to perform profane, esoteric rites—merging their flesh with demonic spirits, and becoming one with an ever greater darkness.

Blood Moon

A voice echoes from the silence: “Writhe, beasts, brethren. The moons of a doomed Ionia rise like eyes of starved demons, awaiting the red of your fealty—or are they monstrous blights that cannot pass? Either way, we are vessels plunged in ritual and sacrifice. At the moon's peak, we carve flesh from flesh, offering the meager gift of all that we are.”
