Nasus, the Curator of the Sands

Champion Type: ???

The enigmatic creature known as Nasus came to the League from a faraway world, and served as part of a vast and learned desert empire. There he was a respected and enlightened individual, having been made the Keeper of the Great Library. However, he was also part of a race of animalistic creatures that served as the rulers and protectors of the people. War was never more than a breath away, as others of his kind craved to enslave the people and claim totalitarian sovereignty. In the midst of a heated battle, just as Nasus was about to slay his treacherous brother Renekhton, he was summoned to Runeterra. It didn’t take much to convince him that Champions were needed to fight against the injustice here and he took up a place in the League of Legends. These days, he is the Keeper of the Sands, feeling most at home in the crumbling ruins of the Shurima Desert.

Nasus brings the mystical powers of his desert empire to plague his enemies. He can call upon the winds to engulf his foes in a blinding sandstorm or bring forth an ancient hex to cripple them while stealing their perception. As a keeper of the gates of death, Nasus can also pull those who oppose him into the underworld, once they have begun to approach it. He can also summon scarab beetles - fierce insects that crave flesh and violently disperse when called back to the underworld - from the torn remains of fallen enemies. Furthermore, the bonds of distance do not hold Nasus, as he is capable of terrorizing two foes at nearly the same time as he teleports between them.

The Keeper of the Sands, though contemplative, is not to be trifled with.
