When Kusho refused, Zed turned his back on the order that had raised him. Zed demanded the Kinkou strike at the Noxian invaders with every means at their disposal. Returning to the light of the temple, he came face to face with Great Master Kusho. Shadows enveloped Zed’s mind, feeding his bitterness with contempt for the weak, and hinting at an ancient, dark magic. Even though he knew it was forbidden to any but the masters of the order, he peered inside. He ventured deep into the temple’s hidden catacombs, and there he discovered an ornate, black box. While Shen was growing to adopt his father’s dispassion, Zed refused to let lofty notions of balance stand in the way of punishing evil. He was haunted by the memories of Jhin’s grisly murders, and rising tensions between Ionia and the imperialistic forces of Noxus only worsened his disillusionment. Returning to their temple, Zed’s heart bloomed with resentment, and he began to struggle in his studies. The young Zed marched forward with his blades held high, but Kusho stopped him, ordering that Jhin be imprisoned instead. When they finally succeeded in capturing this feared “monster,” it was revealed to be a mere man named Khada Jhin. In time, they journeyed together with their master to track down the infamous Golden Demon. In spite of this, the two pupils became like brothers. Though Zed’s passion shone through in every technique he perfected, he lacked Shen’s emotional balance. Even so, he felt overshadowed by another-his master’s son, Shen. He dedicated himself to understanding the Kinkou’s spiritual tenets, quickly outpacing his peers both in combat and study. Taken in by Great Master Kusho himself, Zed found his place within the temple’s ancient walls.

For Zed, his story began as a boy on the cold steps of the home of the Kinkou Order. Zed has mastered all of these forbidden techniques to destroy anything he sees as a threat to his nation, or his new order.īeneath Ionia’s veil of harmony lie the tales of those left behind. During the war, desperation led him to unlock the secret shadow form-a malevolent spirit magic as dangerous and corrupting as it is powerful. Utterly ruthless and without mercy, Zed is the leader of the Order of Shadow, an organization he created with the intent of militarizing Ionia’s magical and martial traditions to drive out Noxian invaders.
