LeBlanc - The Deceiver | League of Legends

LeBlanc, a name whispered with both reverence and dread, is but one of many identities used by a pale sorceress who has shaped the course of Noxian history from the shadows. Using her magic to mirror herself, the sorceress can appear to anyone, anywhere, and even be in many places at once. Always plotting just out of sight, LeBlanc's true motives are as inscrutable as her shifting identity.

LeBlanc has countless appearances, yet her most famous one is that of the pale witch, her potential true appearance. LeBlanc wears a sleek black gown with deep red accents, slit high to reveal one leg, and her golden chestpiece rises in an ornate design that echoes her authority. Her cape is long and dark, with a golden inner lining that flares outward like wings or blades. The golden collar arcs dramatically behind her shoulders, giving her a commanding silhouette. Her staff is tall and jagged, crackling with red energy, and her dark purple shoulder length hair is swept back into a tidy, regal style with a a golden headpiece completing the look. Her magic often manifests through rose-thorns and spectral chains, elegant yet cruel. She excels in illusion and manipulation—able to mirror herself, alter appearances, and conjure sensations so vivid they blur reality, such as inflicting the agony of centuries within a heartbeat.

Leblanc is a deceptive individual, often using her sorcery to trick, confuse, or convince people into serving her and the interests of the Black Rose. Leblanc is also clever, using all manner of methods to serve the interests of her and the Black Rose. Her ultimate goal is to have control of Noxus, whether publicly or by proxy.

Although she seeks the striving of herself and her coven, LeBlanc never takes the spotlight of her schemes. Instead, she manipulates others to do the dirty work for her, as she convinces them through their little struggles as she sees the big picture.

LeBlanc was once a powerful mage thousands of years ago under Mordekaiser but betrayed him by allying with the Noxii tribes, helping them overthrow him. This act led to the creation of the secret cabal known as the Black Rose, which she co-founded with Vladimir to manipulate Noxian politics from the shadows.

Over centuries, she recruited powerful figures like Elise and orchestrated events like Sion’s resurrection and Boram Darkwill’s rise to power. When Darkwill turned against the Black Rose, LeBlanc faked her death and continued her control from behind the scenes.

Eventually, her grip on Noxus faltered when Swain uncovered ancient power and overthrew Darkwill, sidelining LeBlanc and the Black Rose. Despite this, she continues to scheme in secret, trying to regain her influence through manipulation and dark magic.

LeBlanc still got a tight grip on not just Noxus, but all of Runeterra, having eyes and ears everywhere and being involved in almost any conflict that occurs. The black rose is still feared and respected, with even the most powerful of Noxian generals, like Ambessa, being afraid of them. LeBlanc and the black rose's goal however still remains the same, gain and keep power as well as ensuring Morderkaiser remains sealed away.
