Who Is Dr Reveck in League of Legends?
Dr. Reveck is a renowned artificer who initially resided in Piltover. He was one of the best inventors who could impress anyone with his artificial limb inventions. He also trained his daughter, Orianna and eventually, the girl surpassed her father in craftmanship.
While Dr. Corin Reveck wanted to keep his daughter safe in Piltover, Orianna always looked forward to traveling to distant lands and helping people with her inventions.
One day, Orianna and her father learned about the chaotic situation in the undercity of Zaun. After discovering that poisonous gas is killing innocent people of Zaun, Orianna heads toward the dangerous place without informing Corin. Orianna repaired respirators and created esophilters with the supplies she had brought from her shop and installed them in Zaun to save the people. However, she also gave her own mask to a child without thinking of herself.
After spending several days in Zaun, when she returns to her father, Corin gets scared after realizing that the poison has damaged her lungs. So, he decided to give her a pair of artificial clockwork lungs. Slowly, the poison starts damaging every organ of Orianna’s body, and that’s when her father decides not to lose hope and keep his daughter alive with the clockwork organs.
In the end, only her human heart remained intact. However, Orianna decides to give it to her father when he eventually fell sick. After losing his daughter, Corin vowed to bring her back to life by doing whatever he could.
Arcane’s Version of Dr Corin Reveck
Since the beginning, we have seen Singed as someone who could heal anyone using Shimmer. For instance, he gave Jinx another chance at life by injecting Shimmer into her body. However, no one ever knew why Singed has been doing all these experiments. Well, we finally know that he has been doing all this to one day bring his daughter back to life.
Singed is also the one who created Warwick, the beast who will chase anyone to death if he senses Dr Reveck’s blood. According to Singed, Warwick is the perfect specimen, as he has extraordinary regenerative ability. So, Singed intends to use Warwick’s blood to bring his daughter back to life.
That is why, after getting caught by Ambessa and Caitlyn, Singed agrees to become their advisor and help them find Warwick. When he takes them to his lab, Cait realizes that he is the one who created Shimmer, and his real name is Dr. Corin Reveck. In the end, Singed is one of those people who is ready to get his hands dirty with the blood of millions so that he can save his own kin.
