Warwick is a werewolf-like beast who has a thirst for nothing but blood. He is a monster, and no one can escape if he comes after them by smelling their blood. The beast has the build of a masculine man and the traits of a canine. His body is covered with bluish hair, and his sharp fangs can easily pierce his prey’s flesh. Additionally, his muscular physique can tear anyone into two halves. As he is a mix of a wolf and a human, he can walk on two legs whenever he wants.

As the dangerous creature was created through an experiment, his body is durable enough to withstand even the opponents’ fatal attacks. His body is connected by several small tubes containing a green liquid that changes its color to yellow whenever the beast gets filled with rage. He has a chamber on his back that secretes the fluid into his body and keeps him under control so that he can create chaos.

Warwicks’s build says it all; he is exceptionally powerful enough to kill enemies in one go if he decides to. His tough skin doesn’t let him get affected by the attacks released by the opponents, but if somehow the enemy gives him wounds, his high endurance ability keeps him in an operational state for an extended period. Besides that, he possesses such a fast speed that allows him to kill an entire group of people without becoming visible to their bare eyes. Also, the beast can heal himself in a matter of a few seconds.

Is Vandar Warwick?

Well, the creators haven’t spoken precisely about this, but in the Leagues of Legend’s lore, somewhere, it’s stated that Warwick wasn’t the beast since the beginning. In fact, he was a gangster from the undercity of Zaun who left his sinful life behind to start a new one. However, he was encountered by Singed, who made him undergo a transformation by performing several experiments on him. Singed made him a beast with an immense thirst for blood. This description of the beast made us realize that it could be none other than Vander.

Vander shares the same exact story. He was a gangster who left his previous life because of Vi and Powder. However, he had to return to his old self to fight Silco one last time. In fact, he did become a monster by consuming some of Singed’s serum in the end. Of course, the show wanted us to believe that he died during the first act; however, in the finale episode, we see Singed conducting experiments on a person. The build of that person looked a lot like Vander. So, it’s highly possible that Vander will return as Warwick in the second season. But it’s yet to be seen if he’ll be a villain or if he’ll remember Vi and Jinx and fight to unite the sisters.
