#revanant lore is pretty hard to break since it is very vague

I think that would be Grolg the vegetarian Ettin. I don't do much lore breaking so that's the extent of if. Even the reason he stopped eating meat is anchored in canon (he learned bunnies are made of meat, and we all know ettins like bunnies) so I really can't call it breaking the lore. At most I'm dangling my feet off the edge.
Some of the extra canonical bits about him are that I decided the main reason most ettin don't seem really intelligent is that due to having two heads with entirely separate persons inside they spend a huge amount of the cognitive capacity fighting over who gets to control the body. The really strong Ettin are those where either the heads work together or one of the heads isn't controling the body for whatever reason. In Grolgs case the other head (named Greg) had an unfavorable encounter with another Ettin's club.
Thus Grolg has almost free reign over their body, only having to supress frequent spasms which is the source of his speech impediment. Everytime Greg shoots out nonsense commands to their body Grolg has to think a lot more and that brain power has to come from somewhere. He knows people already assume he is not very intelligent based on being who he is and that the way he talks only further strengthens that but to him speech is not really an important function. Also helps him to sort who's worth getting to know and who to ignore based on how they talk to him. He can understand others just fine and has been known to throw people who keep mimicing his way of speaking through the lost precipice's tavern.
Of course a notable lore break is also the people he works for, considering the gentlemens gang's founding event included a dimensional portal to our world where charrlotte grabbed two books (League of extraordinary gentlemen and arsene lupin).
Other than that my other lore breaks are Valoop as a quaggan commander, though the rest of her commander career goes mostly normally, Aluen for keeping Bercilac's armor, Posh for joining Scarlet.
