Who is Locke in League of Legends?
Locke, full name Corvin Locke, is officially titled the Ashen Exorcist and is the 173rd champion added to the League of Legends roster.
He comes after Zaahen as the latest addition to the game’s ever-growing champion pool—and is the only new champion Riot Games is releasing in 2026.
He is a mid lane AP assassin built around high burst damage, strong mobility, and aggressive all-in potential.
Behind his deadly playstyle is a dark and complex past. Locke is a Demacian exorcist who practices forbidden rites passed down through a family steeped in occultism.
Raised on deception and double standards, he came to believe that demons are not the root of human darkness but are the product of it.
Armed with soul nails and a grim sense of justice, he travels the world forcing that truth into the open, hunting down corruption one exorcism at a time.
