| “ | There is only one way to measure a man. Tear him… into… pieces. | „ |
| ~ Urgot in his biography. |
| “ | The world beholds such wealth and assumes it is power. But I see clearly - wealth is a crutch. True power comes only through pain. Pain is a crucible that tears the weakness out of you. It leaves you bloody, and raw, and worthy. Or it leaves you dead. I offer the pain to set you free. Will you embrace it? | „ |
| ~ Urgot in "The Test" |
Urgot, also known as The Dreadnought, is a playable champion in the multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends, and is an antagonist in its universe.
Once a powerful headsman of Noxus, Urgot was betrayed during the coup led by Jericho Swain, which left him trapped in the Dredge-a prison mine deep beneath Zaun. At the brink of death, Urgot assumed his true strength and rebuilt himself into a fearsome cyborg and an imposing force in Zaun's criminal underworld. Amassing supporters from both the repressed and downtrodden of Zaun to his own cult-like following, Urgot has set his chains towards purging the weak and unworthy from his new home.
While originally voiced by an unknown voice actor, he has been voiced by Paul M. Guyet (who also portrayed Grandmaster Nimzo in Dragon Quest: Your Story) ever since his rework.

Lore[]
Urgot was formerly a executioner for Noxus, serving his job with pride and bloodlust for his next execution. Eventually sent to Zaun to help stop a possible conspiracy, he realized this was a trap for him to not fight Jericho Swain's plans to overthrow Boram Darkwill. A furious Urgot was then dragged into the chemtech mines, going from a high executioner to a lowly slave. Learning of Zaun and Baron Voss' allowance of freedom through confession and pain in the mines, Urgot volunteered to go under this trial. Despite the baron's beliefs of easy defeat, Urgot's new sadomasochistic side overpowered her torture and command as anarchy began to grow in the mines. With control over the prison, Urgot personally modified his body with mechanical enhancements.
Eventually confronted with a Noxian spy, he realized that Noxus' empire was the weak people in it. Seeing that only survival and total freedom would work under his command, he savagely beat the spy and launched another assault on the prison, in which many prisoners escaped or perished. Urgot's brutality and legendary status grew since that day, coldly killing chem-barons and their allies alike, becoming a hero to those downtrodden and weak. Eventually hauled back into a new fortified cell by Piltover Wardens Caitlyn and Vi, it is wondered that if any cage can hold Urgot for long.
Urgot's followers later attempted a breakout and managed to release him from his cell, but the Dreadnought was once again defeated by Caitlyn and Vi, and put back into his cell.
Personality[]
| “ | You cannot know strength until you are broken. | „ |
| ~ Urgot |
A former Noxian, Urgot has a might-makes-right ideology which values strength above all, and thus he will not hesitate to use brutal (or even lethal) methods to achieve his own ends. Urgot enjoys inflicting pain on both others and himself, as his ideology hinges on the idea that pain will help weed out the weak so that the strongest can survive, making him one of the most cruel characters in the game. While Urgot shows distaste towards the powerful Chem-Barons, this is not because of how they abuse their power but instead because Urgot believes the petty oligarchs are too weak to rule over Zaun, as their power comes from wealth alone. Urgot believes in a world ruled by chaos and pain, which will purge the weak to the point where only the strong survive. Because of this, Urgot is willing to kill anyone indiscriminately, including his own followers, should he judge them unworthy.
