Grand General Boram Darkwill was the last Emperor of 
Noxus before being dethroned and killed. After his death the Trifarix would be established by Grand General 
Jericho Swain as a replacement for the Noxian imperial seat of power.
Background[]
The Emperor of Noxus[]
Some time ago, Boram Darkwill took control over Noxus after gaining the favor of the various other nobles and appealing to their heritage. Despite his own rule, many wanted more influence on the world of Runeterra, building a conspiracy within the 
Black Rose to try and end his life. 
LeBlanc eventually manipulated Swain to discover these figures and publicly execute them, faking her own death in the process. As a result of this, Swain gained Darkwill's trust and was appointed one of the top generals in his army.
The Invasion of Ionia[]
- Main article: Noxian Invasion of Ionia
However, the duplicitous LeBlanc continued to operate from the shadows, manipulated the aging emperor to become a paranoid, immortality-seeking man. Corrupting him, Darkwill became obsessed with finding the cure to his own death, and eventually ordered an invasion of the more peaceful 
Ionia. The invasion began in Navori, with soldiers order to both kill innocents and ransack any magical artifacts that could be used to help extend Darkwill's life.
A growing resistance in Ionia and even religious leaders like 
Karma were forced to reconsider their pacifist ideals, with great consequence delivered. 
Irelia and other Ionians eventually fought back at the Battle of the Placidium, where they succeeded at taking back the Placidium from a Noxian warhost led by General Swain, who left the battle gravely injured and disgraced. As years passed, Emperor Darkwill became even more desperate, sending child soldiers to Ionia in hopes that the Ionians would be unwilling to attack them.
Perhaps the most devastating consequence arrived when one of Darkwill's commanders, Emystan, employed the mad Zaunite alchemist 
Singed to create Chemtech bombs to aid the Noxian cause. Darkwill unleashed these deadly chemical weapons of mass destruction without restraint, leveling cities, fracturing stone, and torching the sacred land in Ionia. One of the worst attacks came on a village where 
Master Yi was rumored to be, which caused the town, its people, and its culture to cease to exist. Even years after, nothing grows on the land and the dead are trapped by the land's corruption.
Death[]
Darkwill's goals for immortality, however, proved fruitless, as the Emperor of Noxus met his end at the hands of the disgraced General Swain, who had returned years later after discovering an ancient demonic power in the form of Raum, the demon of secrets. With Darkwill's death, the war against Ionia ended, and Jericho Swain established a new system called the Trifarix.
