*Story Synopsis:*
Introduced to Silco at a young age, protégé and intellectually gifted Viktor is enrolled in the prestigious Piltover Academy to glean knowledge in pursuit of creating the Nation of Zaun.
Soon, a charming and equally brilliant academy colleague, Jayce Talis, captivates Viktor with his revolutionary Hextech theory. Seeing potential, Viktor teams up with Jayce. Their Hextech research culminates in a breakthrough, during which a romance between the partners evolves. Meanwhile, Silco adopts Powder, a cunning girl whom Viktor takes to as an older brother. In their mutual appreciation for the sciences and engineering,
they form a strong bond.
Years pass, and Silco eventually discovers the illicit affair between Jayce and Viktor. Questioning Viktor’s allegiance, Silco guilt-trips him to recall his purpose in building the Nation of Zaun. Silco asks for proof of his loyalty and persuades him to steal a hex gemstone for their own experimentation. Viktor, wanting to do right by his people and his family, gives in, betrays Jayce, and supplies the gemstone to Powder, who now goes by Jinx.
Jayce uncovers the truth, and after confronts Viktor, they subsequently separate. Emotionally devastated and spiraling, Viktor begins to question the consequences of his loyalty. Conflicted, he is caught between his duty to Zaun and his undeniable yearning for Jayce. Jinx and Sevika ultimately challenge Viktor to choose a side. Viktor realizes where he truly belongs. He visits Jayce in his forge and proposes to set things right at last. With their relationship rekindled, they approach the Council of Piltover in
an attempt to negotiate for Zaun’s independence. Stricken by her grief and enragement over Viktor’s betrayal, Jinx fires her rocket launcher at the council meeting. Jayce and Viktor’s eyes find each other.
The ending is purposely left ambiguous, as the fate of those involved remains unknown.
