![]() ![]() Forsaking his name, he instead took the mantle of the Pantheon, the Aspect of War.Ītreus is a physically imposing warrior, with a physique that is carved from a lifetime of training as a soldier. This act brought back Pantheon's constellation into the sky and Atreus made a vow to be the shield to protect all mortals against those that wanted that destroy them. Just before he was about to be defeated, Atreus struck Aatrox's sword arm, detaching the Darkin from its host. Despite Aatrox's advantages, Atreus fought him, invigorated by the cries of the people around him. When Atreus reached the site of battle, Aatrox saw the lack of power flowing through his spear and the scar which seared into both his shield and his body. Atreus picked up his weapons and headed to battle to confront Aatrox in an attempt to put an end to the madness. Atreus learned that it was lead by Aatrox, who convinced the barbarians to invade Targonian settlements. ![]() While he recovered, he received news that a barbarian incursion was headed towards the territory that included Iula's farm. She nursed him back to health, and as Atreus recovered, he was reinvigorated to keep fighting, finding pride in being a mortal human being instead of a god. He stumbled his way into Rakkor territory, until he reached the home of Iula, the widowed wife of Pylas. Aatrox was bemused by this and left Atreus to die.Ītreus stood back up, powered with nothing but bitter rage and regret at his own failings. Bleeding and on the verge of death, Atreus spit on Aatrox's face as an act of defiance. With Pantheon gone, Atreus reawoke, finding himself impaled with the Darkin's blade. They battled, and it ended with Aatrox would driving his blade into Pantheon, killing it and erasing its constellation from the skies. Aatrox sought to reach the peek of Targon, with Pantheon arriving to stop the Darkin's ascent. What Atreus endured while Pantheon took over his body were visions of Pantheon looking for the Darkin across Runeterra, the living weapons that remained after the Darkin Wars.Įventually, Pantheon faced Aatrox. It took over Atreus' body, stopping Atreus from having any control over the body that Pantheon now inhabited. Pantheon deemed Atreus too unworthy to wield the power it possessed, but War needed a host body. Atreus was taken by the Aspect of War, the Pantheon. With Atreus the only one at the peak, the skies opened for the gods to choose their host. It was a difficult trial, but the two would eventually make their way to the top, with Pylas dying on the peak of the mountain in Atreus' arms. Similar to the many people that previously attempted to make the climb, the two underestimated intensity and difficulty of the task. Outraged, Atreus and Pylas vowed to end the fight themselves by making the climb to Targon's peek to acquire power. The two would seek retribution for their fallen comrades from the Aspect of the Sun, but the Aspect refused to lend aid to fight off the trespassers making their way into their homes. The battle would leave most of the patrol dead, save for Atreus and Pylas. Through the bloodied and gruesome training circles, Pylas and Atreus would forged a strong bond of brotherhood, a bond that only grew stronger as the two battled proudly for their tribe.Ītreus and his Ra'Horak companions were ambushed by a barbarian incursion looking to make way into Rakkor territory. This would earn him the respect of his much more skilled rival and eventual best friend, Pylas, whom Atreus would constantly challenge despite being outmatched in every fight. However, his impressive endurance and relentless fighting spirit always ensured that he would stand back up, in spite of how bloodied and bruised he would be after each encounter. Never particularly talented, nor possessing any innate strength, young Atreus would constantly fail every training regiment and bout he partook in. From a young age, Atreus would train for battle, joining the military unit of the Rakkor, the Ra'Horak. Atreus now opposes the divine as Pantheon reborn, his unbreakable will fueling the fallen Aspect’s weapons on the field of battle.Ītreus was born on the slopes of Mount Targon, belonging to the tribes of the Rakkor. In time, he learned to embrace the power of his own mortality, and the stubborn resilience that goes along with it. Once an unwilling host to the Aspect of War, Atreus survived when the celestial power within him was slain, refusing to succumb to a blow that tore stars from the heavens. ![]()
