On the outskirts of Rabadon City, a dilapidated temple houses the last hope for Rabadon's people: the Inkshadow Warriors. Each one sacrifices what is most important to them in order to make a contract with ancient spirits, who imbue them with magic tattoos so powerful, even the Cabal trembles. They are victims no more. It is time to take back their home.

Inkshadow

Aurelion Sol

Rabadon City thrives on magic. Whoever controls magic, controls Rabadon. And the Cabal's control is absolute. Any who resist are brought to heel or eliminated… but an Uprising is coming. Armed with dangerous magic inked directly into their skin, these rebels seek to topple the Cabal and give the city back to its people—or die trying.

Inkshadow Aurelion Sol

This chroma was released as a Loot exclusive in the 2023 Inkshadow event.

An ancient spirit that has been making contracts with mortals through tattoos for centuries, Aurelion Sol grants inhuman power in exchange for the life force of his pawns, letting them slowly waste away until they inevitably succumb to his appetite. There is always another conflict, another war—so he has grown powerful on their deals, ever feeding.

Kai'Sa

Inkshadow Kai'Sa

A young survivor who lost her father to the Cabal, Kai'Sa fled the city and joined the Uprising. Refusing to allow others to fight a battle on her behalf, she sacrificed her independence for the chance to fight back, receiving a magical, symbiotic tattoo she needs in order to live. Kai'Sa finally has the tools to get revenge. She will see justice done.

Inkshadow Master Yi

Master Yi's family refused Cabal control, fleeing Rabadon City—only to be snuffed out. To fight back, he became one of the first Inkshadow Warriors, sacrificing his lifespan for a magical tattoo that grants him the power to raise his sword against the Cabal. He doesn't know how long he has left to live; still, he will save his city… and get his revenge.

Udyr

Inkshadow Udyr

Udyr has given up much as tattoo artist for the Inkshadow Warriors, sacrificing pieces of himself to multiple spirits and covering his body in their arcane contracts to enhance his natural second sight. He sees the souls of his canvases, knows the price they must pay, and connects them to the spirits who will give them the power to do what must be done.

Inkshadow Volibear

A spirit of fury and war, many vengeful souls have made contracts with the Volibear, and only Udyr has survived for longer than a year. Whether his charges succeed in taking revenge or meet violent ends, each one who dies gives him more power. More power means more wayward mortals seek him out for contracts—and thus the bear will never go hungry.

Yasuo

Inkshadow Yasuo

This chroma was released to celebrate MSI 2023.

Displaced from his home alongside Master Yi, Yasuo now uses his Inkshadow tattoos to ride the wind between Rabadon City and the outskirts, protecting civilians seeking asylum with help from the mysterious Man of Masks. Though he gave up his freedom in exchange for power, he sees the price as penance for being unable to help those who needed it most.

Sporting an elevated take on traditional Ionian menswear coupled with a fearlessly bare set of stunning blackout tattoos, Yasuo's gala look celebrates elegant rebellion, sartorial subversion, and an uprising of unprecedented design.

Prestige Inkshadow Yasuo

Inkshadow Yone

Two brothers lost their home and became Inkshadow Warriors. One gave up his freedom, and the other his identity. Yone paid a steep price for his tattoo: no one remembers that he existed. Now known only as a faceless stranger called the “Man of Masks,” he shields refugees from the Cabal until they can be delivered into Yasuo's protection.
