New Champion: Darius, the Hand of Noxus

Riot's released a new champion sneak peek titled "Darius, the Hand of Noxus"

From the picture, he appears to be a future tanky bruiser like Garen.

The following excerpt on him can be found in the Journal of Justice:

Keiran Darkwill, the late Grand General's youngest son, remains one of the more ruthless aspirants in this dispute. He has successfully thwarted several assassination attempts, struck down his challengers, and rallied significant support behind his name. Only Darius, one of Noxus's most respected and feared Generals, has earned as much of a following within High Command as Keiran Darkwill. Many predicted the two would inevitably clash and that the victor would rise to the throne. Upon Jericho Swain's return, General Darius forged an immediate alliance with the famed Master Tactician. 

"Strength was once the very backbone of Noxus," General Darius told High Command, “yet we have become plagued by weakness. In Jericho Swain I see a man with the power to cull the weak from Noxus and unite us under one banner—and united we shall conquer once again."

Looks like the release of this new hero might be synchronized with the Tyrant Swain release!

Look at me, now back at you, what do you see?
