Story Part 1={"Ekko is a major character appearing in Arcane, one of the many children who grew up in the Lanes."+"Following the death of his mentor and the disappearance of his friends, Ekko finds a way to survive on his own and help others fight back against Silco's reign over their home."+"In his youth, Ekko worked for Benzo at his shop and would often eavesdrop on his most private conversations, even when the man sent him away. This made him privy to certain transactions and secrets that he would sometimes share with his friends: Vi, Mylo, Claggor, and Powder."+"While growing up, Ekko looked up to Vi and played with her younger sister, Powder. Vi taught him some fighting moves. He would sometimes go to the garbage pile with Vi, who would then hose him down when he got too dirty."+"One day while working at Benzo's, a man from Piltover came into the shop and bought items from him. Ekko was easily able to charge him double the price. of the regular price of the items and then followed him. Thinking his friends could make a quick buck off the man, Ekko told Vi about the workshop. The plan backfired when Powder accidentally set off an explosion at the man's house, kicking off an investigation that led the enforcers to Benzo's to confront Vander. "Despite being kicked out by Benzo earlier so he and Vander could talk privately, Ekko listened through a contraption he had built over the room and discovered that Vander had a deal with the Sheriff, which he then told Vi with some hesitation."}

story part 2={"Later, Ekko witnessed the murder of Benzo at the hands of a Shimmer-affected Deckard under orders from Silco . He watched Silco and his men take Vander away and then tearfully told Vi where to find them: Silco's Shimmer factory. Soon after, multiple explosions at the factory resulted in multiple deaths and Vi's disappearance, leading him to assume that she had perished as well. Meanwhile, Powder was taken in by Silco, causing the two to grow apart."+"Forced to find a means to survive, Ekko eventually came to live in hiding with a group of other children, building their base in a rare space that housed one of the few trees - if not the only tree - surviving in Zaun . The group named themselves the Firelights , after the glowing insects found in Zaun, and began sabotaging Silco's Shimmer shipments in hopes of hindering their damage to their city."+"When Ekko was Younger, he had a carefree and goofy attitude, quickly becoming best friends with Powder due to how playful they both were. He was very enthusiastic about hand-to-hand combat and looked up to Vi like an older brother. However, once Benzo was killed, and when he assumed that Vi perished in the explosions, his relationship with Powder also deteriorated as she joined forces with the same people who killed Benzo. "Ekko matured considerably and took over as the leader of the Firelights. Despite all the trauma he suffered, Ekko decided to fight for the people and focus on helping addicts and victims affected by Silco's Shimmer operation. While he retains his enthusiasm for his inventions and fighting, he is more reserved around people he is unfamiliar or uncomfortable with."}

Story Part 3={"As Ekko was born and raised in Zaun, the lower city, he holds a negative and biased opinion of the residents of Piltover, which is reflected in his interactions with Caitlyn. He seems to respect Heimerdinger, despite him being a former council member at the time of their meeting. Although Ekko maintains a tough exterior, it is apparent that he keeps a lot of his emotions bottled up inside. When he was indifferent and acted coldly towards Vi, she took notice and hugged him, leading him to begin crying."+"Ekko is also particularly strong-willed when it comes to moral choices, as when he had the chance to stay in the alternate universe where Piltover and Zaun were united, Powder was his girlfriend, and where all the characters who died in the original timeline are alive (except Vi who dies during the workshop heist in this universe), he chose to leave it so he could return and save everyone in his timeline."}
