The only scary Bilgewater characters in appearance are Tahm Kench, Pyke, and Nautilus to an extent because of how huge he is. The Void and the Shadow Isles definitely have a lot more scary-looking champions than Bilgewater, and even Zaun gives it a run for its money.
Tahm Kench's theme music doesn't have the kind of excitement that lots of other themes have, but it's still _easily_ one of my favorites out of them all. Tahm was never my fave in-game, but everything about his themes is so damn well made imo
Tahm Kench's video, it makes me think that the bride was his target. Old Tahm had made a deal with the bride, for what I don't know, but no longer had access to her for some reason [MAGIC!], so he made a deal with the gambler, who fell in love with his bride to be. In collecting on the gambler's bargain, he also collected on the bride's. "Please! Not now! Not this time!" was what the bride said, not the gambler. She wasn't horrified because a monster was rampaging in her home, she almost seemed to expect it. "Not THIS TIME." Maybe she wanted a man who was bold, brash, exciting...like a gambler. Maybe she wasn't really a princess.
There is no way someone escapes Tahm Kench. Even if you somehow make a deal and after that dissapear he can just go back in time. Your theory is very interesting, i think bride made a deal and when she has found her happiness Tahm came to take it from her.
You know what, Kench strikes me as too classy a devil to involve random people in his schemes, it’s not as interesting to him. Plus, what’s better than collecting two debts at once?
I got it thanks to a fellow in the comments section of Tahm Kench's official teaser video. So basically Tahm Kench is a metaphor for greed. A gambler lost everything and had a chance to walk away, but greed showed up again and swallowed him up. Greed has a hunger only "men like him" could satisfy. Eventually he found love and married a "princess." This means his wife must be wealthy. The narrator says, "When that hungry beast finally did arise" he gambled away his wife's money. The family screamed and fought. The wife begged him to stop but he couldn't, so he lost the house, the gold, and his wife to "Tahm Kench" or greed.
Tahm Kench's music is beautiful and spooky, and his voice practically says: I'm such a nice and polite guy, how about you come a little closer? Listening to them both always sends shivers up my spine.
I think Tahm is the manifestation of the gambler, the bride pleads with Tahm and Tahm responds which sounds like the response of a addict, 'it ate the gifts, the house and the gold'. "This hungers a burden... it's the last time I swear(gambling addiction) "so please forgive" all addicts use blackmail/sympathy to justify their habits
There is a loading screen tooltip saying how the inventor of the "Runeterra Incognium" mysteriously died before being able to reveal its power source. Could it be the lady that got eaten by Kench in this video? Or do we already know who that inventor was?
zjiel dble I thought that too, but in "Progress Day" the inventor of the "Runeterra Incognium" was confirmed to be a man named Zindelo. Lil sad that Riot didn't made it as an easter egg.
Simpletons who do not know you do not 1v1 a Tahm Kench on Melee range, and that his Damage scales based on his HP... I love that even when his is the weakest champion in the game, he can still destroy In top lane because people are dumb and get CatFished.
I hope that Kench is like a dark merchant in the new bilgewater game. He give you nice things, in trade takes away things, like a deal of the devil from Isaac.
I'm not a lore God, so I really don't know much about it, but wouldn't it be cool if tahm kench actually gave pyke his "immortality?" Like tahm kench obviously likes to prey on people, including the rich, so when pyke got betrayed, he saw the opportunity for pyke to basically hunt down the people and he could gluttonize on them.
Tahm kench has so many secrets, on his bio he is from runeterra, but in the runeterra map, he is from bilgewater, but only ionians are simular to animals, so kench is ionian? or is he some experiment of the mad scientist singed?
@@tex4096 I know this is a very old comment but I still want to correct. Evelynn is the demon of agony, not lust. There are stories where lust wasnt even present at all, she simply tries to make people as much as she could.
Light Trizane i started 2 weeks before ekko was shown and became a support main i would say the time tahm kench was teased i was so hyped no champion (maybe pyke) had me hyped so much like the good old river king.
Tahm Kench is a demon. Evelynn is a similar kind of demon. They both need some sort of "contract", before they can feed on the prey's misery. Tahm Kench feeds on emotions and needs the victim to agree on a deal. Evelynn feeds on physical pain. As soon as Tahm Kench got a deal with his victim, he gets all the power he needs to fullfill the deal on his part.
@@carrioncrow2547 yeah, the other difference is that Tahm's method is to play the long game allowing for his next meal to be at the peak of their happiness before he "Comes to collect" so to speak where as Evelynn is more of the immediate, I want you now.
The demons all seem to feed on emotion, Fiddlesticks on fear, Nocturne on Nightmares which are just a derivative of fear, Tahm on desire and misery and Evelynn on sexuality which is just a derivative of desire but positive so maybe there are lower tier demons. Raum is weird thought, does he feed on the desire for knowledge/secrets?
@necrit am I the only one that thinks that the gambler from the teaser is twisted fate? (You may have already answered that and if so, I am sorry for not paying attention).
Riot said that no one knows the true name of the demon, so they use the name of the Gambler in the teaser as a name to the demon, this means that the name of the gambler is Tham Kench.
But didnt tahm kench take a man in the teaser and travelled him to a faraway land? I thought that they called that man the gambler. And also, it says: Tahm Kench AND the gambler's woe, which basically means that tahm kench and the gambler are two different beings
A meeting b/w Kench and Sett: Kench: "You wanna see you daddy, doncha boy? Give him his just deserts? All you gotta do is swipe one little thing for me. Your mama's-" Sett: "Not interested." **Beats the shit out of him**
I feel like this character was kind of a wasted opportunity. He's a cool concept that could be legitimately sinister if they didn't animate him in a cartoonish silly waddle and make all his in game voice lines about I FAT I EAT FOOD and downplay the original "Faustian deciever" archetype his introduction story built him up as.
@@LamiaDomina damn. I definitely didn't expect you to respond to me after a couple minutes for a year old comment. I do have to agree with you though, they could do better with him
Now that video! It left me satisfied!
F you
@Idris Callan bruh you 2 bots are everywhere.
Why are the scary looking supports usually in Bilgewater?
Edgy_Weeb26 cause bilgewater is one of the darkest places in runeterra, along with the shadow isles

Lady Synth are u not aware of the depths, the sea around bilgewater? the ctulhu like sea monsters? u should watch necrits video about it
Whens the Tahm in the lane ur the one whos supportin

Aww, that was such a nice opportunity for them :c
Thanks for the answer!
i love how even if you have nothing to lose tahm gives you all you ever wanted only to take it away
Wan199 he gives you stuff you build it up then he takes it all away. Kinda like intrest.
I quess I'm going back to being a Tahm main
600k Kench top main :D
“How the f#%k does a TANK do that much damage?!” -enemy top laners
Update: 1mil
What's this cat fish gunna do?
-Yasuo 40 mins ago - now

I just started him last week . Once u get 3 stacks the enemy is basically as good as dead

Ctrl + 6 and Ctrl + 4 macro while the enemy is devoured is one of my greatest joys.
I hope that Kench is like a dark merchant in the new bilgewater game.
He give you nice things, in trade takes away things, like a deal of the devil from Isaac.
To bad the character talking has been killed by pyke.
so..... is pyke the man that met fizz and kench?
Feels like a good fit...
Speculation at its finest.
....did...you listen to the entire story of the man who met fizz and kench? pyke straight up harpoons him at the end
Anyone know who voiced the audio dramas? He sounds like Ryze's voice actor
My lord I have been waiting for this!
That first story is a classic fairy tale
Kench is my absolute favorite character and I throughly enjoyed this. Is there a Bard video?
darn.. Tahm Kench is a great personification of addiction, Riot did a good job there

Hmm progress day is like a science fair? Nice work as always tho keep up the good work
That narrator dude has been through some shit..from pyke to fizz to nautilus and tahm? Damn son
Aww memories from when I started League
Light Trizane i started 2 weeks before ekko was shown and became a support main i would say the time tahm kench was teased i was so hyped no champion (maybe pyke) had me hyped so much like the good old river king.
so remember boys and girls now matter how alluring hes words are they'll never compare to you....

Hey Necrit, think you could maybe talk about Zilean's Lore sometime?
Plazma zilean doesn’t really have enough canon lore for a whole video
yea i know lol rip.
He'll likely be getting a lore update in the future. Necrit will talk about it then.
Milk this shit Necrit!
If I wanted to milk money from from content, I wouldn't release story coverage with 30% normal views :>
if he wanted to milk this he would do 10 minutes videos and so he can make more than 1 video
Love that pirate
Is Tahm Kench and Evelynn the same kind of demon? They both feed on misery
