➤Zilean/Curiosities 🕹 League of Legends

Summary

Zilean is voiced by José Lavat in LATAM, who is also voiced by Cho'Gath and by Roberto Encinas in EUW, who also doubles to Daughters, Fiddlesticks, Maestro Yi, Malphite y Tryndamere.
Zilean is confirmed to be the last wizard from Icathia to have survived the catastrophic destruction of his homeland, as well as Jax.
During development it was called "Narib Newmaiss" or "Zileas".
- Both names can be gratuitous versions of the Greek Σ (εε) ιλᾶς S (ee) ilas, borrowed from the Aramaic שְׁאִילָא Šeʔila, passive participle of the Semitic root verb š-ʔ-l "to ask" (> Hebrew Šaʔul), [1] [2 ] literally means "the requested [child]".
  - The name of Sylas also comes from this root.
Zilean is named after Tom 'Zileas' Cadwell.
- Zilean will earn the cosmetic benefit Enemy of the Armored Bear ("In my day, we would never have allowed an armored bear to enter League of Legends") if he and Volibear meet on opposing teams (reference to Tom 'Zileas' Cadwell and his position against an armored bear champion).
Zilean is one of four champions with a single damaging ability ( Time Bomb) the others are Bard ( Cosmic Mooring) Taric ( Glare) and Tryndamere ( Rotary Slash).
- Time Bomb is the only skill in the game to scale non-linearly by level (75/40/50/65/70).
Zilean is the first champion to have a basic ability that cannot be increased at level 1 ( Back) being the second Azir ( Conqueror of the Sands, Quicksand).
Zilean's biography resembles Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five.

Zilean, the Guardian of Time

Zilean Original

Zilean was a wizard from Urtistan fighting Icathia. Since then he has specifically become an Icathian wizard fighting Shurima and The Void.

"Time passes like an arrow; fruit like a grape passes." reference to the eponymous saying.
"I have seen your death, it will be very painful." it looks like "I have seen your future, and it has broken bones"

Zilean is a wizard from Icathia who discovered how to manipulate time but was unable to save his city and its people. He is now trapped between timelines and left Icathia to search for a way to cure his condition.
Zilean (and maybe even Bardo) have probably already noticed the plays of Ekko with the timeline through his Zero Drive Zero Drive.
Vel'Koz encountered the ruins of Icathia and discovered the magic within Zilean's ancient residence. The Eye of the Void is now determined to find the Keeper of Time and disintegrate it to get the knowledge you have about time manipulation.
