Aatrox, the Darkin Blade Aatrox, the Darkin Blade
  • Aatrox is between 4396 – 5996 years old, being one of the first Shurimans to become an Ascended.
  • While it was never stated what manner of creature Aatrox took the form of in the past, it was known to be winged and likely something of noble character.
  • It's possible Illaoi's Illaoi's god, Nagakabouros, could free or kill Aatrox's human soul and allow it to return to the cosmos. However, it's complicated since the celestial concept Aatrox merged with and gained his ascended power from has been trapped or deleted from existence, meaning the ideal he represented ceased to exist when he was trapped. Because of this, humans can't comprehend or remember what Aatrox was an avatar of previously.[12]
  • Aatrox was one of the most powerful Ascended. Before his imprisonment, Aatrox had fought and killed spirit gods (avatars like Ornn Ornn), other celestial empowered beings and possibly other Darkin. Later, he killed LoR Non-Champion Non-Spell Indicator5 The Aspect of War himself.[13]
  • Aatrox has spent the most time imprisoned due to the fact that he was the first. Because of this, the magic used to imprison him was botched and likely damaged him in the process, causing his shattered mind and torturous existence. By the time the mages had imprisoned Varus Varus, they'd perfected the process a little more.
  • Demonblade Tryndamere Demonblade Tryndamere may be representative of a "what if" scenario where Aatrox completely claims Tryndamere as his host.

  • Enemies hit by Massacre Massacre will leave a blood trail between themselves and Aatrox that he will rapidly absorb (this is a remaining visual effect from PBE testing, where Aatrox would gain attack speed based on how many enemies had been hit by Massacre Massacre, that was recycled in V5.6).
  • Aatrox can still use emotes during Blood Well's Blood Well's revive.
  • Sterak's Gage Sterak's Gage is speculated to have been Aatrox's missing left arm glove. Its passive was also coincidentally similar to Aatrox's.
