Biography
Erlok Grael' a male human who lived long ago on the world of Runeterra who came to serve as a monk of Helia. In that time, he was once a simple man who was a lowly warden for an order dedicated to the gathering and protection of arcane knowledge. This group was known to had made their home in the Blessed Isles that was hidden from the world by magical pale mists that protected it from intruders. One day, Thresh's long years of service was acknowledged by the masters of the order and they tasked him with the custody of the hidden vaults beneath the city of Helia. Within those chambers resided a number of secret dangerous artifacts with this large collection being secured in their vaults.
He served in the order for many years, expecting to be recognized among Helia's masters, but due to his humble background he was delegated to work as a warden to safeguard Helia's magical artifacts which he took as an insult. Grael felt bitter towards his new position as he believed himself more gifted than his noble-born peers who got more prestigious roles, and that his lowly position would stop him from being recognized. After years of working in the vault, Grael grew bitter and cruel. Growing frustrated over his fellow wardens getting killed by the artifacts, he took interest in a nameless tome claimed to whisper one's darkest thoughts. Grael kept the tome in his possession, but his superior, Head Warden Rastofir, stopped him and threatened to demote him. Angered, he believed that Rastofir was trying to steal his research for his own benefit, so he arranged Rastofir to be killed by a miscategorized artifact so he could manipulate the order into a pragmatic direction.
One day, a fleet of ships from Camavor invaded the Blessed Isles, led by their king Viego whom wanted to use the Waters of Life to resurrect his wife Isolde. When the monks refused, Hecarim and his knights took the opportunity to slaughter the monks and all of the natives. Grael delighted in the carnage and suffering that ensued, and took it upon himself to lead Viego to the Waters of Life. Isolde's resurrection failed and caused a blast of magic that corrupted the Blessed Isles' protective mist into the Black Mist, turning all of the inhabitants into wraiths. Grael embraced his transformation and took on the moniker Thresh, eager to act out his desires for cruelty without punishment or the limits of mortality. As decades passed, Thresh's spectral form morphed into a reflection of his darkest traits. He roamed the Shadow Isles killing people and imprisoning their souls within his lantern, becoming known in the folklore of Runeterra as a bogeyman figure.
