There is no champion with the name Vander in the massive League roster. However, it cannot be said for sure that the character doesn't exist in the game.
Netflix's Arcane, animated by Riot, has struck up quite the excitement with its audience. It became the most-viewed show on Netflix just after its release. Even audiences who have never played League of Legends are drawn to the series, which got numerous positive reviews. However, the fans realized that Arcane is an origin story for LoL. Many characters shown in the series are champions in LoL. This led many fans to wonder if Vander, one of the most popular characters in Arcane, is a playable champion in LoL.
Who is Vander?
Vander is one of the most popular characters from the Netflix series, Arcane. However, fans were revealed with rather spine-chilling information when his past was shown. He was the person who led the Zaunite rebels to the slaughter at the Piltover bridge, which resulted in the death of the biological parents of Vi and Jinx. Before becoming a father figure for orphan kids, including Vi and Jinx, he was a former revolutionary.
Is Vander dead in Arcane?
Vander loses his life while protecting Vi from Silco. Vi and her friends try to rescue Vander from Silco's headquarters. However, nothing goes according to plan, and a massive accident occurs due to Jinx's negligence. Vi's family dies, and the warehouse catches on fire. In an attempt to save his adopted daughter from Silco, Vander ingests Shimmer, becoming a terrifying monstrosity, killing Silco’s henchman and fleeing the building with Vi. However, Vander is shown lying in a pool of blood, completely motionless and seemingly dead.
Is Vander Warwick in League of Legends?
Warwick's story was introduced to the players in 2017. He was a werewolf who turned into a horrifying Chemtech beast. There is a theory among the LoL fans that Vander becomes Warwick. Fans have also speculated the instances of relating Vander with canines as a clever wordplay by RiotGames. For example, a Zaunite thug calls him “the Hound of the Underground,” and Silco refers to him as “lap dog” for associating with Piltover.
What does Vander look like?
Vander is a middle-aged guy with a tough and muscular physique. He has gray eyes and a neatly groomed beard and hair. He is generally seen wearing blue trousers, leather boots, and a brown leather jacket over a white undershirt. Vander has a scar on his upper right arm which he hides with the help of a leather pauldron.
