Place 5 – Viktor
Number of votes: 302 (9.46 %)
This is Viktor: In the beginning of the series, Viktor was an inconspicuous assistant at the Academy. Inside, however, he is an idealist who aims to improve the world. He uses various technological means and is willing to push boundaries and go beyond.
He helped Jayce sneak into Heimerdinger’s lab and continue the experiments on the Hextech core there. They succeeded, and from then on, Viktor was regarded as a respected aide to Jayce but did not receive the glory of his colleague.
Viktor suffers from a disease that would soon cost him his life. However, throughout the series, he utilizes Hextech magic in an attempt to overcome the illness. He seeks the help of Singed, a dubious alchemist.
Place 4 – Caitlyn
Number of votes: 333 (10.44 %)
This is Caitlyn: Caitlyn is the daughter of the Kiramman family, which is very wealthy and influential in Piltover. She is considered nature-oriented and a good shot, but she also knows how to behave among the rich elite of the city. Her family took Jayce in at a young age to have him educated at the Academy.
Throughout the series, Caitlyn frequently interferes in the matters of the sheriff of Piltover. She investigates on her own, such as during an attack on a Zeppelin loaded with Shimmer. This did not please Marcus, the sheriff, at all.
In the end, Caitlyn is the one who retrieves Vi from prison and teams up with her to search for Jinx and the lost Hextech core. This leads to a romance between her and Vi, which is further developed in the lore of League of Legends.
Place 3 – Silco
Number of votes: 411 (12.88 %)
This is Silco: Years ago, Silco led a rebellion against Piltover alongside Vander. However, he became too radical and was nearly killed by Vander, who tried to drown him and injured his left eye in the process.
Afterward, Silco swore revenge, which he initially achieved through the use of Shimmer. Following Vanders kidnapping and the explosion caused by Powder with her grenade, he took over the operations in Zaun. He became an underworld boss whose aim was to turn Zaun into an independent nation, using numerous illegal means to achieve this.
Following the explosion, he also took Powder in, fostering the “Jinx” within her. However, over time, he developed fatherly feelings for Jinx and was ultimately willing to sacrifice his dream of an independent nation to protect her.
Place 2 – Vi
Number of votes: 533 (16.71 %)
This is Vi: Vi is the sister of Powder (Jinx) and lost both parents in her childhood during a fight between Piltover and Zaun. She was subsequently raised by her guardian, Vander. Initially, a youth gang formed around Vi, who carried out small heists together. Due to her strength, Vi was somewhat of a leader.
However, during a major heist in Piltover, everything went wrong, leading to a chain of unfortunate events. After Jinx killed two members of the gang through an explosion and severely injured Vander and herself, Vi was captured by Marcus, the future sheriff of Piltover, for her own safety and imprisoned.
Seven years later, Caitlyn then freed her from this prison. Afterward, they jointly hunted for Jinx, a Hextech crystal, and ultimately Silco. Throughout this, Vi constantly tried to protect her sister from harm and awaken the “Powder” within her.
Place 1 – Jinx
Number of votes: 700 (21.94 %)
This is Jinx: Powder is Vi’s little sister. At the beginning of the series, she is about 10 to 15 years old and a nice but somewhat clumsy girl who loves to tinker with things. However, she is constantly referred to as “Jinx” (which means harbinger of misfortune or jinx in English) by her friends. Her sister, however, stands by her.
After the explosion, Vi also briefly used the name Jinx. This shattered something in Powder. After Vi was kidnapped by Marcus, Silco took Powder in. Over and over, Jinx blamed herself for the attack, was traumatized by it. However, this was further fueled by Silco to strengthen Jinx.
Jinx became somewhat of Silco’s adopted daughter and completed tasks on his behalf. However, she repeatedly crossed lines and became more violent than Silco originally intended. A meeting with Vi only exacerbated this state.
Throughout the series, Jinx becomes increasingly desperate, hears voices in her head, and ultimately brings Caitlyn, Vi, and Silco to the same table. There, she also initiates the grand finale of the season.
