Background

Xin Zhao was born in Ionia, raised on a fisherman's ship named Viscero. One day, they ended up crossing into the waters of Noxus Crest icon Noxus, where a Noxian ship captured them and took them to Noxus. Unfamiliar with this new land, Xin Zhao rose above the ranks with his expert spearmanship, so Noxus offered him a chance to live a better life. He reluctantly accepted and entered the arenas of the 01NX053-full Reckoners and took the name Viscero after his first home. Viscero was a famous warrior amongst the arena, with the crowd cheering for the carnage he inflicted while the other Reckoners grew to fear him. But eventually, Boram Darkwill Boram Darkwill made a decree to privately free Noxian mercenaries, prisoners or Reckoners (Xin Zhao included) to send them to fight for Noxus in other nations. Xin Zhao was transported to Demacia Crest icon Demacia, where he faced against many Demacian soldiers. Most of his fellow Reckoners ran away, but Xin Zhao refused to give up. When he was confronted by soldiers, he welcomed them to execute him, but he was instead spared and imprisoned. At his request, Xin Zhao was taken to meet their king, Jarvan III Jarvan III.
