The new League of Legends comic Katarina is packed with lore revelations (2024)
It’s surprisingly easy to miss the newest League of Legends comic, especially since it has an answer to one of the oldest mysteries in the entire game. The comic is published on Webtoon instead of the official Riot Universe site, and it dives into one of the game’s original champions.
Katarina Du Couteau is an assassin from Noxus, a brutal expansionist empire with an internal system of cutthroat meritocracy. She helped the current Grand General of Noxus pull off a coup, and now she works as an extremely in-demand assassin. Katarina explores what the champion is up to during the mage rebellion of Demacia, and finally introduces her father.
General Du Couteau and his mysterious absence is a mystery that predates League’s lore retcon and restart of 2014, and yet managed to survive that great lore purge. Cassiopeia and Katarina, two League champions, are his biological daughters. Talon, the third champion in House Du Couteau, was adopted from the streets. Du Couteau was a demanding, abusive father who expected the best from his kids, and voice lines in the game implied Katarina murdered him and hid the crime.
Katarina is some of the most in-depth lore we’ve gotten on Talon and Katarina yet, and it makes both characters surprisingly likeable. The champions chat about dear old dad, his legacy, and the current political situation in Noxus. Things get complicated, and Katarina is dispatched to Demacia — which is a metaphorical powder keg about to explode with a mage rebellion.
Katarina is a sequel to the upcoming Riot Forge game Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story which follows the struggle of rebellion leader Sylas. The series hasn’t concluded yet, so there’s likely more surprises in store before the conclusion of Katarina and release of Mageseeker on April 18.
Katarina was born the eldest daughter of Marcus Du Couteau, and while her sister Cassiopeia often won the attention of their mother, Katarina was raised under the tutelage and guidance of her father to become one of the most precise assassins in all of Noxus.
It was confirmed in the Katarina comic that Katarina's father actually faked his death with the help of Talon. However, after the final fight between him and Katarina, he was killed off for real by Swain.
When the army's General strayed across her path, unguarded, she quietly slit his throat. Katarina disappeared into the night, pleased with her impressive kill. flung herself into the fray to correct her mistake, earning a scar over her left eye as a permanent reminder.
An assassin's call is always a little monstrous, but Katarina will do whatever it takes to serve her beloved Noxus. Age: Katarina is the oldest daughter of her family at somewhere between 25 and 30 years old, seemingly agreed upon to be about 27 as she was present during the Ionian war. Height: She is about 5'5" tall.
While her younger sister Cassiopeia took after their politically brilliant mother, Katarina was very much her father's daughter, and the wily General Du Couteau pushed her to learn the way of the blade; to cut away the empire's enemies not with reckless brutality, but deadly precision.
Rostov is a businessman and the legal father of Elizabeth Keen, whom he truly believed to be his biological child. He was married to Katarina Rostova at the time of Masha Rostova/Elizabeth Keen's birth, which makes him the legal father, despite not being the biological father.
