Zed
the Master of Shadows
Biography
Utterly ruthless and without mercy, Zed is the leader of the Order of Shadow, an organization he created with the intent of militarizing Ionia's magical and martial traditions to drive out Noxian invaders. During the war, desperation led him to unlock the secret shadow form—a malevolent spirit magic as dangerous and corrupting as it is powerful. Zed has mastered all of these forbidden techniques to destroy anything he sees as a threat to his nation, or his new order.

Death Sworn Zed
Having lived his life in the shadows, Zed's eventual return from the dead should have come as no surprise to anyone. A master of unliving darkness, he is only too happy to spend all eternity spilling mortal blood, as one of the Death Sworn.
Galaxy Slayer Zed
Zed was a promising Templar before he became host to the hivemind of ora and imbued with its alien essence. Able to morph his body into living weapons, he now sees himself as the perfect life form, deserving of all ora and destined to cleanse the galaxy of the weak.
PsyOps Zed
Known as the “Gas Can Man” in paramilitary circles, Zed is an infamous mercenary picked up by the Black Rose Group during one of their covert actions.

Debonair Zed
The most powerful (and powerfully dressed) man in Nox Vegas, Zed has been dabbling in more than fancy parties and cutthroat dealmaking. A new crowd from Crime City has entered his inner circle, granting this debonair gentleman an unbreakable stranglehold over the strip… and a dreadful new change in both mind and body.
Empyrean Zed
The Foreglow is a power many desire, but Zed resents how it exposes him. His is a strength born from darkness, away from prying eyes. Perhaps in the fallen Husk realm left in Pyke's wake can he build a new domain of shadows, one that no Empyrean can topple.
Immortal Journey Zed
When Zed became immortal and began studying the other realms, a new desire took hold: knowledge was everywhere, so he needed to BE everywhere. Upon discovering his explorations, the Grounded Foresight School banished him. Zed doesn't care, though, for he's found a new demonic power, allowing him to be everywhere and all-knowing.
Blood Moon Zed
As loyalty fractures within the Blood Moon cult, Zed remains Twisted Fate's unshakable right hand and personal power broker.
