Lore

Mordekaiser's full bio is available on his Universe page:

In-client bio:

"Twice slain and thrice born, Mordekaiser is a brutal warlord from a foregone epoch who uses his necromantic sorcery to bind souls into an eternity of servitude. Few now remain who remember his earlier conquests, or know the true extent of his powers-- but there are some ancient souls that do, and they fear the day when he may return to claim dominion over both the living and the dead."

Color story: The Final Reign

Updated Skins

Each of Mordekaiser's skins have also been updated:

Lord Mordekaiser

"Some of Mordekaiser's party complain that the Dark Paladin class is horribly overpowered and should be banned, despite its official inclusion in the latest Riftquest expansion. The rest of them are still waiting to discover the Dark Paladin's secret, redeeming, tragic backstory... but all they've been getting is a lot of murder instead."
