Braiden, The Cogwork Tinker
Not all
benevolent minds stay benevolent.
Braiden was
born without magical talent. What he was
born with though, was mind for two things - machinery and medicine. From the time he could learn to read,
Braiden’s nose was buried in books cataloguing the achievements in medicine,
techmaturgy, and mechanical invention of Pitlover, his hometown. Even before he was admitted Pitlover’s
famous academies, he could be found running their halls or in the corner’s of
their libraries. When he was just nine,
he successfully performed his first life-saving surgery, albeit on just a
street rat and a year later he had constructed his first simple automatron.
When he was finally old enough to be admitted to one of Pitlover’s academies, he enrolled himself into three. By the time the administration found out it was too late to stop him, he was already getting the highest marks in all his classes. Learning became Braiden’s life for the next several years, tinkering his passion. As the years past, the academies became filled with Braiden’s little automatrons, or as he called them, his cogworks. Often times they could be seen running around Pitlover performing various errands for him. While tinkering took up most of his free time, his drive to understand medical practices never left him and any free time not devoted to his tinkering was spent volunteering in one the hospitals.
As his skill grew, his two passions intertwined. Soon he was creating cogworks capable of performing basic medical treatment, or even assisting in more delicate operations much as a nurse would. One of his greatest accomplishments was developing the ability to store magical energy within a cogwork and have it use that energy to speed up the body’s natural healing process. These inventions of his were highly desired and often Braiden would send several on caravans to other cities without any thought for compensation.
When Braiden graduated, he was one of the most respected minds in the fields of medicine and machinery. With all the naivety of a scholar who rarely leaves his books, Braiden set out treat the injured. His travels took him to the various skirmishes that still occurred on the country’s borders. His travelling medical tent became a sort of neutral ground. Braiden would treat anyone regardless of allegiance, and for awhile, his naivety held. That is, until one night.
While treating the Demacian survivors of a Noxxian raid, an assassin had attacked his tent. His helpless patients had been slaughtered in front of his eyes and so would have he been if not for his cogworks. Not expecting them to be of any threat, the Noxxian assassin had been caught off guard as one cogwork injected him with a powerful sedative. Looking around at the senseless loss of life around him, Braiden’s naivety shattered, and he took his first life. That night, Braiden didn’t sleep, the sounds of tinkering lasting through the night. In the morning, the nearby Noxxian encampment was no more, all of the soldiers had been slaughtered, broken gears and metal casings the only sign of any attack.
The next day, Braiden walked through the doors of the League of Legends, offering his services in hopes of preventing any more tragedies like the one that he himself caused. Even as he fights in the League, his cogworks can be sometimes be seen on the borders of Pitlover, protecting it with vicious means if necessary.

Role
Braiden is designed to be a support play-style hero with fairly consistent, but minor Crowd Control abilities, as well as shields that contribute increasing benefits the longer they hold. Braiden would benefit most from CDR, allowing him to protect his allies and control his enemies as often as possible.
