Summary
Azir was a mortal emperor of Shurima in a far distant age, a proud man who stood at the cusp of immortality. His hubris saw him betrayed and murdered at the moment of his greatest triumph, but now, millennia later, he has been reborn as an Ascended being of immense power. With his buried city risen from the sand, Azir seeks to restore Shurima to its former glory.
Seeing the Warring Kingdoms clash from his palace in the mountains, the ageless ruler known as Azir left his home with an army of spectral soldiers. He promised that one day he would return and put an end to the conflict for good.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Shurima's Legacy: Azir raises the Sun Disc which functions like a turret. The Sun Disc's health gradually decays and loses some armor if Azir dies or moves too far away.
- Conquering Sands: Azir orders all Sand Soldiers to dash toward the target location, dealing magic damage to all enemies they pass through and slowing them. Enemies hit by multiple soldiers do not take additional damage, but are slowed additionally proportional to the number of soldiers beyond the first.
- Arise!: Azir summons a Sand Soldier at the target location. When Azir attacks an enemy in a soldier's range, the Sand Soldier attacks in his stead, dealing magic damage to all enemies in a line. Multiple soldiers can strike the same target, with each soldier beyond the first dealing reduced damage. Azir also permanently has bonus attack speed. This bonus is doubled if he summons a soldier while there are already soldiers on the field. As shown by his lore, Azir is capable of summoning an entire army of these soldiers with a wave of his hand.
- Shifting Sands: Azir shields himself and dashes to one of his Sand Soldiers, dealing magic damage to enemies he passes through.
- Emperor's Divide: Azir calls forth a phalanx of soldiers from behind him, charging forward in the target direction. Enemies impacted by the charge are dealt magic damage and knocked back. When the soldiers finish their charge, they stand as a wall, acting as impassible terrain for enemies. Allies and Azir can freely pass through the wall.
