Renata Glasc

Zaun’s underworld runs on more than money: it runs on debt, obligation, and dread, and Renata Glasc spent years making herself the hub of all three. She started with close to nothing after a fire destroyed her childhood home, keeping only her family name and her parents’ alchemical notebooks. Out of that ruin she grew the most profitable chem-baron enterprise in Zaun.

She never climbed by brute strength, the way a Noxian commander might. She tied everyone’s money to her own, so that working with her was simply the smarter move. Play along and the payoff is generous. Push back and the fallout arrives quickly. Given enough time, even her competitors usually find themselves on her payroll in one form or another.

The same thinking shapes her combat style. Her passive, Leverage, tags enemies with bonus damage so that any ally who pursues them cashes in on the opening she made; teamwork, quite literally, pays off. Handshake roots the first target her missile strikes and can be recast to hurl that target wherever she likes, a bargain struck on her own terms. Bailout keeps a faltering ally upright long enough to finish a kill, turning a bad fight into a profitable one. Loyalty Program drenches her side in shields while poisoning foes with slowing chemtech, and Hostile Takeover, her ultimate, captures her whole outlook most plainly: a surge of chemicals sends hostile targets into a frenzy, forcing them to fight by her rules.

As a Support who can also hold the mid lane and draws on Mana like many of Zaun’s chemically minded casters, Renata shares ground with other Zaun-born and Zaun-adjacent figures. Dr. Mundo and Ekko both call the same undercity home, though neither bends to her the way most of Zaun eventually does. Whether they are exceptions or just targets she has yet to reach is left unresolved.
