We explore the mystery of who Vander is in Netflix’s Arcane, as well as answer the question of whether he’s a League of Legends character.
Waiting for the release of the second arc of Arcane episodes, the official League of Legends series already available on Netflix , we have time to analyze various details of the first three chapters. After telling you which game characters appear in the series, it’s time to unravel the mystery behind the character of Vander , the adoptive father of Vi and Powder (Jinx). We tell you what we know and resolve the question of whether it is a League of Legends character or a new one for Arcane.
Vander is one of the main characters we meet in the first three episodes of Arcane. He is a strong man whose function is to run the bar called “The Last Drop” in the suburbs of Piltover. Also, he tends to take care of any orphan he comes across, so sisters Vi and Jinx are no exception. Under his protection, they can live a fairly decent life despite excessive control by the surface government. Strong, noble, loyal and determined to do whatever it takes to protect his own, that’s Vander.
Is he a League of Legends character?
There are several theories that Vander could be one of the most well-known characters in League of Legends. If you have already seen the beginning of the series, you will know that the fate of the character is fateful. However, let’s remember that in the game world there are various non-human characters or whose form has changed from its original being. For this reason, there are already several that point to the fact that Vander could become Warwick, the fierce werewolf. It is something that we can unravel if we observe the official lore of this character:
“Though many think Warwick is nothing more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man, a gangster who laid down his sword and took on a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past”, which fits Vander’s character quite a bit. Also, said lore mentions a little girl, who could be both Vi and Powder. Therefore, the theory seems quite solid but we will have to wait to discover the rest of Arcane to see if it is true or just conjecture.
