Gangplank is a feared pirate captain and former ruler of Bilgewater, known as the Saltwater Scourge. After being dethroned, he seeks to reclaim his power through violence and intimidation, armed with his signature pistol, cutlass, and explosive barrels.

A brutal and unpredictable leader, Gangplank maintains control through fear and torture. He shows artistic tendencies through bone-carving and mutilation, while demonstrating remarkable pain tolerance, as seen when he calmly ordered his own arm's amputation.

Key Relationships:

• Illaoi: His first love and former partner, now opposes him alongside other champions
• Thresh: Formed a partnership to control Viego and conquer Bilgewater
• Miss Fortune: His primary rival who overthrew him, seeking revenge for her mother's murder
• Swain & Zed: Both want him dead for stealing their assets (Leviathan warship and Temple artifacts)

Notable Possessions:

• Weapons: Bilgewater Cutlass, Hand Cannon
• Ships: The Leviathan (stolen), Dead Pool (destroyed), The Dreadway (current)

Despite losing his reign over Bilgewater, Gangplank remains a dangerous threat, determined to reclaim his former glory through whatever means necessary. His ruthless methods and strategic alliances make him one of the most feared figures in Runeterra's criminal underworld.

Trivia:

• Known for eating oranges dipped in seawater, calling them "sweet and salty"
• The Dead Pool was originally his father's ship
• His stolen ship Leviathan may be connected to the vessel in Legends of Runeterra
