An enthusiastic yordle sorcerer, Veigar has embraced powers that few others dare even approach. As a free-spirited inhabitant of Bandle City, he once longed to learn more of the celestial magic practiced by mortals, but his natural curiosity was twisted by imprisonment in the Immortal Bastion. Now a stubborn creature with the dark fury of the stars at his command, Veigar is often underestimated by others—and though he believes himself truly evil, some still question his deeper motivations... When he first came to Runeterra, Veigar was an enthusiastic and curious Yordle that wished to learn more about magic. This curiosity led him to leave Bandle City, and go to Runeterra in search of knowledge. There he was delighted with the knowledge that he acquired and put all his effort into becoming a powerful mage. When the warlord Mordekaiser caught him, he was tortured for years under the warlord's brutal watch. This torture broke the Yordle's mind. With his personality broken, he re-imagined himself as a terrible tyrant with a thirst for power. Under this new persona, Veigar is obsessed with the aesthetics of villainy. He's arrogant, melodramatic, and antagonistic, constantly causing chaos in the hopes of getting the attention of others. This often leads to frustration as most of his attempts of villainy either led to mild annoyance or instead lead to great good. He is also territorial in his search for power, aggressively going after anyone that he considers a rival in his quest for power, which often, accidentally leads to him coming in direct blows with (and defeating) other dark sorcerers and other evils, accidentally helping many on his path. It's possible that Veigar's acts of good might not be as accidental as they might first appear, but instead, his subconscious guides his actions towards good while his conscious mind, too broken by Mordekaiser's cruelty, rationalizes.
