npc ʟɪsᴛ

These characters are used for scenes in which their narrative presence is needed. They are not fully fledged muses, and are only available for short-form 1v1 threads or in scenes accompanying Silco. Detailed headcanons for some may be present.

sɪɴɢᴇᴅ

tag :: 𓁿 the doctor is in ;; singed ic 𓁿 available for asks/headcanons :: yes icons :: sometimes

Long time ally of Silco, Singed is also known as 'The Mad Chemist' for his radical techniques and lacking ethics. He works for Silco as both a chemist and a doctor, preforming medical procedures as well as concocting potent drugs like shimmer. Silco trusts him, but is suspicious of his side projects.

sᴇᴠɪᴋᴀ

tag :: 𓁿 the ogre lieutenant :: sevika ic 𓁿 available for asks/headcanons :: yes icons :: sometimes

The chem baron's most trusted workers, Sevika is the lieutenant of the underground movement. She does jobs for Silco that require muscle and command, usually leading smuggling operations and protection rackets. Silco greatly trusts her, viewing her as a worthy successor to Vander in her role by his side.

ᴅᴜsᴛɪɴ

tag :: 𓁿 sweet spit :: dustin ic 𓁿 available for asks/headcanons :: no icons :: no

One of Silco's inner circle, Dustin has been a member of Silco's gang since he was a child. He's mostly mute, speaking only in simple phrases and grunts, but he's excellent with a knife, and Silco gives him assassination and tracking work. Silco might not be a fan of his antics, but he still trusts Dustin with his life.

ᴍᴀʀᴄᴜs

tag :: 𓁿 sheriff of the eye :: marcus ic 𓁿 available for asks/headcanons :: no icons :: no

The sheriff in Silco's pocket, Marcus is tuck in too deep for his own good. He's been covering for Silco's crimes for nearly a decade, and despite his reservations, will do whatever it takes to keep their business on the down-low. Silco knows he has the sheriff by the short hairs, and has no qualms about using that to his advantage.

ᴛʜɪᴇʀᴀᴍ

tag :: 𓁿 chuck the barkeep ;; thieram ic 𓁿 available for asks/headcanons :: yes icons :: sometimes

Thieram has been with Silco's gang since his youth, originally working as an armed thug. However, due to an injury sustained in the cannery, he was taken off the front lines. When it was discovered that he could mix a mean cocktail, Silco put him behind the bar, instead. He worries and frets over his boss, always there to offer a drink.

ғɪɴɴ

tag :: 𓁿 fangs of zaun ;; finn ic 𓁿 available for asks/headcanons :: yes icons :: sometimes

The second most powerful Chem Baron under Silco, himself, Finn suffers no disrespect and ruthlessly pursues profits and power above loyalty. He is often described as "Zaun's Fangs", holding the majority of the guns as well as the poisons. He and Silco have a contentious relationship, with Silco seeing him as an insult to his father's legacy.

I like digging into the worldbuilding implications of settings where some people have surnames and some people don’t (or at least don’t seem to). And Piltover and Zaun (as portrayed in Arcane at least) present one of the classic applications of it.

We see only a limited number of people who are given surnames—Caitlyn Kiramman, Jayce Talis, Mel Medarda. Cecil Heimerdinger. Probably Sheriff Grayson and several of the councilmembers. And then the characters that don’t—Vi, Powder, Ekko, Viktor, Silco, Vander, Sevika. A pattern emerges.

Especially as early on it’s made clear that Jayce belongs to House Talis, a family of skilled toolmakers and craftspeople, it seems like surnames mean you belong to a House, a lineage, an established and recognized family organization of hereditary power, position, or trades. You have something worth inheriting, something worth keeping in the family, something recognized. Belonging to a House may not necessarily mean you’re somebody important, but it means you’re somebody.

And it seems to be mostly a Piltovan thing. (Though not all residents of Piltover seem to belong to a House—Sherriff Marcus is never given a surname—but all the characters with surnames do seem to be from Piltover.) in Zaun, Vi and Jinx hardly have anything respectable to inherit. Viktor has no family members with social clout to call on, Ekko has no recognized lineage to trace. They don’t have surnames. They don’t need them.

In situations with a city like Zaun with lots of people with no surnames, though, you tend to need to clarify who you are and who you’re talking about anyway, and you frequently see matro/patronymic names become established—X son of Y, A daughter of Z. It’s not really a last name and doesn’t function like one, it’s more like a clarifier. Or a claim to who you are. (The image of Vi introducing herself as Violet Vandersdaughter gave me an attack of emotions. Okay, continue.) In the boiling-over tension between Zaun and Piltover, I can especially imagine it being a point of spiteful pride for Zaunites. Who your parents are, where you came from. Yeah, I’m Ekko Innasson, and you can’t make me be anything else.

(Jinx is no longer Powder Vandersdaughter, though. She’s just Jinx. Everyone knows who she is. She doesn’t need anything else.)

Which makes the apparent surname Grayson, for a woman who is Piltover’s Sheriff, interesting this context. It suggests to me that Sheriff Grayson is from a new House, that House Grayson was elevated and established only a generation or two ago. A matro/patronym became an inherited surname. And Sheriff Marcus is desperately trying to handle this shit to try to prove himself and to get his family established and elevated into a House as well for his daughter to be part of this class.

IS VI THE SHERIFF?!?

I would normally say I'm late to the party but I've been researching for far too long and realized barely ANYONE has noticed this!!

So looking at the season 2 trailer for Arcane, everyone seemed to focus on the fact Vi has become an enforcer. But look at this badge that the camera focuses on...

Call me mad, but that isn't just an enforcer badge, that's the SHERIFF'S BADGE!!!!

If you compare the regular enforcer uniform (which ngl is annoying to do cus there seem to be SO many different versions!) they do all have 1 thing in common, the lack of this badge. Some do have a symbol on their belts but it's different from this one, a lot simpler and seems to be a belt decoration/buckle more than an official badge.

But guess which uniforms we DO see with this badge, Grayson and Marcus, both only wearing it while holding the title of Sheriff!

Seriously, compare Grayson and Marcus's badge to the other enforcers!

I'll concede, you could argue that since this is the symbol for Piltover as a whole that it is just to represent the Enforcers in general. But then my question is, why are Grayson and Marcus the only ones wearing this symbol if that is the case?

The only other time we see an enforcer with this specific badge design is when Caitlyn is crossing the bridge back into Piltover and gets stopped by the barricade. But notice this badge is silver, whereas Grayson, Marcus, and Vi, all have gold badges. Looks an indication of status. Regular enforcers carry silver badges while the higher ups have gold ones on display 24/7.

Honestly, the way these badges are presented on each character can also line up with the individual person. If this is true it's a really cool snippet of storytelling through character design.

Looking at Grayson, her badge is big, front and center, she's showing it off. Grayson is proud of what she does and of her status, she earned her title through her own hard work and desire to protect the city.

Marcus's badge is slightly smaller and a bit more off to the side. He is the Sheriff and wants that to be known so, he will use that to his advantage so he doesn't hide his badge. But he is ashamed of how he got the title and is ashamed of himself. He's got what he wanted but has dug a hole for himself so deep that he can't crawl out of it, the only thing he has to show for his efforts is a badge won through blood shed and lies.

Vi's is WAY smaller than both and nearly unnoticeable on her belt to the left side. She has hated the Enforcers and topside her whole life, and now shes found herself becoming one. Oh the misery!! (Sorry!) She doesn't want to be here but feels she has too due to everything that is going on; Jinx, Zaun, Caitlyn, etc. She ended up with this position out of necessity rather than ambition or desire. Her hiding the badge away, the evidence of her 'betrayal' to the Under City, shows how reluctant she is to be doing this. She is only wearing that badge out of needing to comply with the rules that come with being Sheriff. And probably as soon as the job is done she'll toss the thing aside (which also works with the cannon cus that'll probs be how Caitlyn ends up being Sheriff like she is in game).

This entire concept is just SO fascinating to me, all the signs are there but the trailer made us so focused on Vi becoming an enforcer AT ALL that we all missed the other clues. It's a perfect example of misdirection and hiding the truth right under your nose. In the trailer we hear Caitlyn planning a strike team, sounding very in charge. When she is standing by Vi and their team she holds herself high, looking very much like a leader compared to Vi's resigned look and slightly deflated stance. Easily making us think she is the new Sheriff already - notice as well in this picture that neither Cair nor the rest of this team have any badges at all on display with their uniforms (would include a pic but I've reached the limit for this post!!!).

A good chunk of people already know that in game Vi is an enforcer and partner to Sheriff Caitlyn, the show makers know this is the assumption people will be making for season 2 and so went to imply this in the trailer without specifically stating it. Only leaving a few breadcrumbs suggesting we're all looking the wrong way.

I could be stretching here and be completely wrong, but if so PLEASE explain to me why only these 3 people are seen with this damn badge!!!!!

If this is true it's a pretty damn cool way to misdirect and subverse expectations to start off season 2.

[lepusrufus]

I'm sorry to be the party popper on main but the badge Vi has is absolutely not the Sheriff badge

It's the same kind of badge Caitlyn herself had in season 1, as an officer

As opposed to the ones Grayson and Marcus had when they were Sheriffs, which is round and attached directly to the uniform on the chest

Though interestingly enough Cait doesn't have any badge visible so maybe we're gonna get to see how exactly she becomes Sheriff
