Betrayed by his own King, betrayed by the people who he swore to protect, betrayed by his own comrades, and betrayed by his friend with whom he shared everything…what more can they take away from him? His honor!

Appearance

Posture check! Treznor looks like a really worn-out imperial soldier that could use an hour of sleep or two or a MOBA player that’s on their 4th losing streak, but sleeping is a fine luxury only the living can get. Accompanied by his undead horse from the start of his Imperial duty to the..oh there’s no end. 

Many have speculated that Treznor’s name may have been based on the real-life person Trent Reznor, the lead vocalist of the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails.

Lore

Treznor was part of a small unit of troops that defended their kingdom against the invaders who might have been their own fallen king Thoran. Treznor was betrayed by some of the people who were loyal to the falling king inside the kingdom when they opened the gates and let Thoran along with his hordes of undead soldiers enter the kingdom. Treznor could only watch the horror that occurred the next moment. Many innocent citizens were massacred and condemned to an eternal unlife. Treznor, along with his fellow soldiers who refused to submit their will, were tortured in a prison.

Heroes that can Synergize with Treznor

• Alna – Alna the first winter from the celestial faction can do massive amounts of damage and can debuff the enemies very well so having Treznor in the front with his ability to survive can allow Alna to generate damage against the opponents.

• Mehira the mind cager – You can use Treznor as a shield for Mehira to ensure that she can activate her ultimate which summons 3 minions that can attack enemies and can heal which is great for sustainability.

• Kren – Kren from the Mauler faction can do continuous damage to the enemy team but Kren is a really squishy hero so if you pair him with Treznor that tank massive amount of damage and cannot be killed in a single hit and can knockback enemies towards you, Kren could surely hit like a truck.

Many players liked the design of Treznor himself but disliked the design of his horse. Others even said that they will get him just for his design alone because they find him really cool. Which one of these kinds of players are you?
