Why?: In his sadness he wandered around the world until he found the League, and used the raw power of emotions to defeat enemies.

Anivia the Cyrophoenix
Attributes: Support, Disabler, Ranged, Mage, Slow, Snare, Farmer

Blitzcrank the Great Steam Golem

Cho'Gath the Terror of the Void
Attributes: Disabler, Nuke, Silence, Mage, Tough, Slow, Tank, Melee

Why?: People in Icathia summoned Cho'Gath out of the void using dark magic. Fortunately, the power of the summoning has chained Cho'Gath to the League of Legends where it uses its abilities in the Institute of War, rather than for chaos.

Corki the Daring Bombardier
Attributes: Pusher, Farmer, Nuke, Ranged, Mage

Why?: Corki is able to fly because of Heimerdinger's inventions, and followed Heimerdinger into the League to test his bravery.

Dr. Mundo the Madman of Zaun
Attributes: Farmer, Heal, Tough, Slow, Fighter, Tank, Melee

Why?: He has an unquenchable desire to inflict pain through experimentation, even experimenting on himself occasionally. Noxus regarded this as a good trait, some sort of ambition, and recruited him into the League.

Evelynn the Widowmaker
Attributes: Haste, Stun, Assassin, Nuke, Stealth, Mage, Melee

Why?: Some say that because of her savagery, she morphed into the beast she is with her razor sharp claws and fangs. Her actual origins, whether they are what people say or not, are unclear. She was recently admitted into the League for reasons not explained.

Fiddlesticks the Harbinger of Doom
Attributes: Stun, Heal, Disabler, Nuke, Ranged, Silence, Mage

Why?: Some say he is the avenging guardian of witches. Some say he is a product of the mad scientists of Zaun. Some even say Noxus created him themselves. In any case, he has joined League of Legends.

Gangplank the Saltwater Scourge
Attributes: Haste, Slow, Support, Farmer, Heal, Disabler, Nuke, Fighter, Melee

Why?: He was the son of a pirate captain who wanted him to be strong, and so was very hard on him. It worked, and Gangplank is the most feared pirate in town. Bilgewater needed a champion to represent them in the League of Legends, and they sent the fiercest pirate of them all - Gangplank.

Heimerdinger the revered inventor
Attributes: Pusher, Stun, Farmer, Pet, Nuke, Ranged, Mage

Why?: He couldn't resist the lure of science, and with some fellow "yordles" created an institute in the City of Progress for yordles, where he joined the League in an effort to prove that science is the key to saving the world.

Janna the Storm's Fury
Attributes: Haste, Support, Farmer, Heal, Disabler, Nuke, Ranged, Mage, Slow

Why?: Janna grew up on the streets of Zaun, the city of chaos and madness. She realized that she could control air and mastered air magic, and soon after brought her skills to the League.

Jax the Grandmaster at Arms
Attributes: Stun, Assassin, Tough, Carry, Fighter, Melee

Why?: After joining the League, Jax was so powerful that the League put restrictions on him. He even restricted himself by making himself fight with a brass lamppost. He still continued to win all the time, so the League removed their restrictions - but he did not, and still fights with his trusty lamppost to this day.
