Awaiting the start of the trial of Jayce Talis, Mel Medarda gifts Torman a child's toy she purchased from a craftsman. However, he scorns the gift that Salo tried to give him as he was allergic to nuts. When Council head Cecil B. Heimerdinger proposes that Jayce be expelled from the Academy, Torman votes in favor of Jayce’s expulsion.[1]

Torman is later seen attending a party with his fellow Council members and socialites.[2]

The day after the Progress Day celebration, Jinx stole the Hextech Crystal ball, which was the subject of a Council Meeting. Torman scorns how the Underground has gone on unchecked. As the meeting continues, Torman fiddles with his toy and lists the possibilities the Underground people could produce using the stolen crystal. Once Jayce proposes that all Hextech operations be shut down, Torman and Shoola disapprove of this decision. He notes the consequences of his shipping trade that'd be affected by this decision. As the meeting continues, Mel proposes that Jayce become a council member and that his house be elevated. Heimerdinger seconds that proposal, and Mel suggests a vote be held.[2]

Torman is shown attending a theatrical performance with his fellow councilman Salo, and it is revealed that the two naturally hate each other. Still, their shared passion for spirits conjoins them.[3]

A meeting is held concerning Piltover's fractured nature, and despite Heimerdinger's desire to reevaluate and change the Council's immoral ways, Jayce argues differently. He claims that Heimerdinger is a relic of the past. Despite being the founder of Piltover, Heimerdinger was unanimously voted out.[4]

During a council meeting about the recent incident on the bridge, Torman details that three of his suppliers will delay shipments until Fall to wait until things "cool down". As the meeting progresses, Caitlyn and Vi arrive to cast the blame on Silco. In light of Jinx having the Gemstone, Jayce proposes they infiltrate Zaun, but Mel argues against it and proposes they negotiate with Silco, to which Torman agrees. Vi has an outburst over this and leaves when Salo asks the Enforcers to escort her out of the Council Room.[5]

Torman lashes out in a fit of rage when Jayce's partner Viktor claims that Zaun seeks to be independent. However, he later votes in favor of Jayce’s proposal for peace, only to die by a rocket fired by Jinx moments later.[6]
