Xavier: Stricken Destiny

The flippant, swashbuckling, gun toting Raphael Xavier was always considered a force to be reckoned with in Piltover. Coming straight from the bloody prisons of Noxus and having emerged from an unfortunate encounter with the prophet of the Void, Xavier found himself within a vicious cycle of conflict that he had unwillingly forged himself. Raphael, who once dubbed himself "The Eccentric Crusader", initially arrived in Piltover with only one thing in mind: To meet his lifelong idol, Jinx, and create a vast underground army in her name in order to completely obliterate Piltover and rob it of its resources. However, his self-built reputation was immediately belittled by competition from other smugglers and even more fearsome security issues. For the longest time, Raphael only ensued chaos under the shadow of the Loose Cannon herself, praised by petty criminals and rogue revolutionists alike. Although his well-known ambition was one truly shared by his subordinates, ulterior motives were still put in place. And those didn't involve Jinx in any way, shape or form.

Piltover's energy resources were abundant, and Raphael believed that they weren't being used to the best of their ability in his eyes. His initial plans were to cut Jayce's ego down to size, all while taking rare arcane crystals and avoiding the one man that stood in his way: Ezreal. Once the job was done (and the loose ends tied), he would sabotage the city and gain its power for a decisive strike against the same Noxus that imprisoned and spied upon him. But unfortunately, these plans failed to see the light of day.

Raphael, with a majority of his forces defeated and retired, finally found himself in solitary confinement beneath the iron fist of Piltovian justice. Years passed, and he found that the encounter with Malzahar was fated for his growth in strength and intellect. Or so it seemed. Fast forward five years later. Raphael would soon become something more...malevolent. This is his newest tale.
