#chembaron smeech

In "Jinx Fixes Everything" Silco apparently keeps portraits of the chembarons in a specific booth in the Last Drop, like a restaurant hangs photos of special guest. Silco really gassed up the chembarons' sense of self importance.

He kept a photo of himself there too.

Silco was also blackmailing all of them.

What We Know About Margot: a deep dive into the internet

She is the chem-baroness who controls the brothels of Zaun. Her company is called The Vyx, and its symbol can be seen in the episode where Caitlyn and Vi visit Babette’s brothel—first on Jericho’s napkin and later on the brothel’s door.

She was captured by Caitlyn and the other enforcers during the Hellfire sequence, where her followers were gassed and her business dismantled. It can be assumed that she ended up in prison since Caitlyn caught both her and Chross in a net, and their deaths are never shown on screen.

The piercings and golden valves on her body keep her skin tight, making her look younger than she actually is. As a result, no one knows her real age.

Originally, in the concept art, it was also shown that she used some kind of chemical to maintain her youthful appearance. She looks very old in these early concepts.

Her main headquarters has her face sculpted on the door (a bit megalomaniacal, Margot?), and it’s called RaptureWalk. Some of her thugs seem to have an "M" tattooed on their chests.

In the Secret Cinema event Enter the Undercity, her name and company were revealed for the first time, as she had only appeared in the background during the first season (the chem-barons meeting, 1x07). In this event, Margot’s actress referred to herself as "Mommy Margot" and expressed her opposition to Silco’s reign.

The actress shared that the writers emphasized to her how Margot is skilled at understanding what captivates others, highlighting that pleasure isn’t solely about sex—it can also stem from food, scents, pain, and personal kinks.

VYX's slogan was "A Feast for Every Sense," and an advertisement for the company stated: "The Vyx provides discreet services to the Undercity. We offer connection and companionship for any and all lonely souls. Our dedicated employees can cater to any impulse. No matter your persuasion or inclination, The Vyx has you covered—or rather... uncovered."

In the minigame 'Jinx Fixes Everything', Silco had a portrait of Margot alongside the other chem-barons in The Last Drop. It is suggested that Silco had dirt on all his allies, including her.

Her voice actress is Kimberly Brooks, who also played Sky in the series.

Since the logotypes of the chem-barons all represent something related to their industries, I would say that Margot's simbolizes a female reproductive organ. But that's just my theory-

In the series, she is seen playing with a knife, and has sharp nails in the concept art, giving her a rather dangerous but feminine appearance. Unfortunately, we never see a fight against Margot, unlike with Renni and Smeech.

And I think that's all for now! My conclusion is that she had an incredible potential and a third season was needed to do justice to the chem-barons as villains; they were criminally underutilized.

I really wanted more of the chembarons, all them seemed so interesting to me, especially Smeech who we only got for one episode.

Page 57 - Body Modification

MASTERLIST

BODY MODIFICATION FROM THE MINUTE TO THE EXTREME is a huge part of the Zaun aesthetic. The chem-barons are enthusiastic adherents, and each one of them is an illustration of imagination let loose. Characters like Vi, Jinx, and Finn have extensive, intricate tattoos. How could Vi's look be complete without her name inked on her cheek, after all? (Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that the facial tattoo looks slightly different in the anima- tion test done by Fortiche, where it lacks the two horizontal bars.) Over the course of the show, she also acquired a large tattoo of cogs and machinery on her back. "We made, I don't know, twenty versions of that tattoo," Arnaud-Loris Baudry said, laughing. Illustrating how a seemingly minor (in the grand scheme of things) detail could take up a lot of work, Baudry elaborated on how one thing could lead to another, then another. "We were wondering who had done the big tattoo," he said. “Vi was in prison for years so we had to design a prison, and that was tricky because Piltover is supposed to be a city of progress — do they really put people in prison? Maybe only people from the undercity, and maybe they put them really far away, a bit like Alcatraz. We worked on the design of that prison and at some point, we were like. 'No, we have to embrace that it's not a progressive prison. We put the elevator in so it goes really deep. We were wondering what was the life of Vi in this prison, and we were preparing to have scenes with it. By working on that and on the tattoos, we found an idea that I think is based on a movie called Red Dragon, where the murderer has a big tattoo on his back."

The fan-favorite Sevika, who is associated with Silco and then with the chem-barons, is among the most flambovant examples of body modification gone wild on the show. According to Pascal Charrue, her prosthetic arm "stumped several designers" because, as he explains, "it was important that the arm not be anatomically correct." Finally, character/concept artist Victor Maury came up with a solution: "A forearm that was very blocky, very powerful, and motorized," Charrue said. "It didn't have a round shape but was very angular. And it incorporated a mishmash of styles-Art Nouveau, Nouve gothic-that was typical of Zaun." The prosthetic changed in Season 2, when Jinx built her a new one. "Sevika commissioned her first arm so it's a little more conventionalnal — even if it's pretty brutal and prompted a lot of hand-wringing over it — but the second one, she has to endure," Charrue explained. "She gets used to it because it's efficient, but it's not easy at first."

With a flourish both playful and macabre, the arm designed by Jinx even incorporates a slot machine — the arm's different configurations and effects depend on what the slot machine comes up with. As minor as it might seem, Sevika's prosthesis is a perfect example of Fortiche's attention to small parts that combine to create a rich whole: Not only is this visually creative, but the detail testifies to Jinx's boundless creativity.

Mechanical arm (probably Smeech's)

Little animals (which the mechanical arms designs came from, I assume)

Maybe:

A fire-breathing cat?

A fire-breathing rhino

Something spiting out a spanner/wrench

Various doodles on the arms themselves

On the left side, around the mouth, which also is screaming "AAAAAAAA" and on the right side with arrows, zaps and x, followed by "HA".

She drew around the eyes on the left side and doodled some eyes on the right too. She made the spikes (?) give out electricity. And she drew lightning on the center. Probably a weapon to discharge electricity on poeple.

On this one she drew some lightning, and "CHOMP CHOMP!"

A small angry eyebrow in this one

Shedrew eyelashes on Smeech and added some commentary on his physical appearance: "UGLY HAHA"

She drew on Sevika's arm design, she gave her a little face and some smoke coming out of her mechanical arm.

She also doodled on her arm's eye and mouth

And finally, she added the "DING DING DING" sound of the slot machine on her arm, some other doodles here and there to delimite the pieces and added some blood (?) on the mouth that's holding Smeech's leg!

Thta's all for today! Have a nice weekend, I don't know if I will post tomorrow 😞 I'm a procrastinator after all (a highly motivated one this week apparently)

[srslylini]

all the side characters that didn't matter in season 2:

Isha(sadly enough), Lest, Loris, Steb, Maddie, Smeech, Renni, Sevika (lost after episode 4, never forgotten), Huck (lost after act 2 but like wow did he every truly matter aside from s1), that blue haired girl from zaun that then DIED in enforcers clothing like okay god damn, chembarons in general

[mollysunder]

It seems like Margot and Chross' gangs are in a turf war. I can guess the tall women in leather and heels are under Margot's Vyx, while the older men in the brimmed hats work for Chross' Hush Company.

I guess it isn't just Smeech that has his members dress like him.

+10 pts to Silco for now making his employees dress in uniform.

Happy new year smeecher nation!! 🎊🎊

I like the lowkey running gag of people using Smeech's words against him.

Smeech: “You don't do much of anything anymore, do you, magpie? Bird without a wing's just a funny-looking rat.”

Sevika: “Tell me, who's a funny-looking rat now?”

Smeech: “Think on it. But I promise, it's the last offer you're gonna get.”

Smeech: “Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait! There's a deal to be struck here!” Sevika: “You forget, Smeech? You already made your last offer.”

Smeech: “But don't think I won't skewer out those peepers. Drawback of you long-range types. Me? I'm the kinda guy who likes to get in close.”

Jinx: “It's always me. Whether I'm pulling the pin or not, everyone who gets close to me dies. Wanna know the real kicker? You're the kinda guy who likes to get. in. close.”

It's like he's trying so hard to be cool and witty but he can't say anything without it getting thrown back in his face.

I think the chem-barons are funny
