[spacer]Tiech, the Voided Memory, is a being trapped within Icathia whose only escape happens to be through the powerful magics used by the Institute to create the fields used for combat. Tiech is considered the foremost expert on The Void and Icathia, however, he can only ever answer the questions of those in the institute during his time spent dead while in the midst of combat, and even then, it is even more limited as he loses his sanity as he grows in levels on the battlefield. That said, Tiech is only ever released into longer games as it requires an immense amount of energy for him to be summoned and his level progression needs to be hindered for him to be informative. Tiech is also one of the few completely neutral individuals involved in the fields, and due to his power and ferocity, this makes him a fan favorite if chosen for any team.

Relations Tiech is seen in the visions and nightmares of most Voidborn. Tiech can only communicate with the Voidborn outside of the fields created by the institute, and even then it is rarely a strong connection. Most Voidborn instinctively fear Tiech, as predators fear the apex, and Tiech can only ever recall such memories as to why in the beginning of a match... when he is least likely to die. Aisde from the Voidborn, Tiech has no relations in this era.
The Blade of Beru'tu as pictured above is one of the two powerful weapons wielded by Tiech, and has the ability to slash through all that is ethereal. Not much is known about the actual capabilities of the blade as the only knowledge about it are its powers (to later be explained) and what Tiech has said about it. The blade is a token from his late friend, Beru'tu, whom sought to create a true portal between the Void and Runeterra during their time in Icathia. It's abilities are apparently related to this fact.
The Gauntlet of Jay-merene is a larger version of the identical gauntlet on his sword-hand. Like his sword, this gauntlet is from a former friend of his: Jay-merene. He claims this Gauntlet holds the burning power of emotion and can be used to amplify any magic to its maximum potential. The gauntlet itself represents no field of magic, but instead is a pure form of raw energy even more pure than mana itself. Tiech claims Jay-merene sought after the power a lover uses when they make their ultimate sacrifice, and did so through this gauntlet. It is unknown how powerful it actually is outside the fields.
Personality Tiech is only ever truly himself for the lowest-levels of the game, and in that time, he tends to be pompous and cocky, but not completely about himself. He boasts of the accomplishments of his friends and colleagues from his era, and how the current mages are pathetic in comparison. To Tiech, nothing in this world can ever add up. He has no problem helping the Institute with whatever they ask him as he claims to be bound within the Void while being chained inside Icathia in a prison meant only for him. He finds their questions "primitive" and "endearing"; some view his attitude as sheer ego, but the advancements made because of him cannot be denied. One thing is certain: Tiech never takes credit for what he knows, and no one ever takes the time to get to know him. Mostly because there is so little time to actually talk to him.
