As his new psychiatrist delved into the depths of his troubled past, flipping through charts and records of his descent into darkness, you could only marvel at the tragic transformation of now called patient #439839.

Once known as the Golden Boy, Jayce had soared to unimaginable heights by uncovering the secrets of arcane magic. Jayce had set out to revolutionize his city of Piltover, to bring it to new heights of progress and prosperity.

But as he poured his heart and soul into mastering the magic that had enchanted him since childhood, having his own Hextech lab, disaster struck.

Following the tragic incident of the explosion at the council and Jayce's close proximity to the blast, it appeared that his mind had become unhinged. His thoughts became twisted, leading him to believe that the powers of the Hexcore he crafted could somehow resurrect his deceased partner, Viktor that didn’t survive the incident.

Jayce had traversed the twists and turns of his maniacal episodes, engaging in conversations with his own reflection, all in the pursuit of achieving a vision of what Viktor told him was a “glorious evolution”. His attempted escapes from the asylum had ended in sedation.

As you approached the imposing front door of the facility, flanked by two imposing figures standing guard, you braced yourself for your first encounter with Jayce.

Stepping into Jayce's white padded sanctuary, you were immediately struck by the chaos that greeted you. The walls were no longer pristine, but covered in a hodgepodge of equations, hieroglyphics, and blueprints scrawled in colorful non-toxic markers. Jayce himself was in the midst of a frenzied scribbling session, his face contorted in concentration as if locked in a fierce debate with an invisible adversary Viktor.

Dressed in plain white scrubs and sporting a shaggy beard and unkempt hair, Jayce's once polished appearance had given way to a more disheveled look. As he limped around the room on a leg brace, it was clear that he had endured more than just the explosion.
