Background
Lore:
Have you ever come across a village that was nothing but burnt wood? Or maybe a forest that was reduced to ash? If the answer is yes, then you more than likely stumbled upon one of the works of Keith, Noxus' resident pyromaniac. Born in Piltover, nobody could tell that Keith would grow up to find pleasure in sight of fire and the incineration of everything. He was raised in a normal family with seemingly normal Piltovan parents. So what went wrong? Some say he was just born that way. Others would say that there was some dark secret that made him that way that nobody knows of. Regardless, he ended up becoming an enemy of the environment. But how did it all start? Well, it all started when he was 6 years old when he first discovered a box of matches. Upon finding out how they work, he could not but awe at the sight of fire, something that he had seen for the first time. And the smell too, wicked but delightful. And from that point on, things just got worse. As he grew, Keith would take every opportunity to find company in fire, a liking that would even defeat natural pleasures. He even became a garbage man just so that he could burn the trash. The money meant little to him, but the fire, everything. Of course, one would assume that Keith's obsession with fire is seemingly innocuous, since he never used it to hurt anyone. Well, for a long time, this has been the case. But as the saying goes, all good things come to an end, whether they're actually good or bad. On one bright day, an entire building complex caught fire. A blaze so powerful, it took 27 hours just to extinguish it. Once the fire has been put out, inside the scorched interior, 62 bodies were found, burned to crisp beyond recognition. But out of all the bodies, one suddenly stood up. Seemingly unscathed, it was a hooded figure covered in an unusual suit. And as the person took the hood off, there he revealed himself: Keith. Of course, who else would start such a fire? Everybody knew already that he wasn't right in the head, but nobody really expected him to kill anyone, let alone of this magnitude. When asked why he did it, he said but one thing: "I wanted to find out if my new fireproof suit would work." And with that, he got the worst penalty any criminal in Piltover could get. So after 30 years in prison, Keith was reluctantly released. Everyone could only hope that he doesn't start another fire. Of course, at this point, many have already forgotten of the pyromaniac. Bu those who remember still live with unrest. However, much to their surprise, they wouldn't need to fear any longer. As Keith realized that Piltover cannot contain him. So he aspired to go elsewhere. And that's exactly what he did; he left Piltover. But now he found himself with nowhere to go. Seemingly lost in the middle of some random forest, he did not know where to start. Or did he? Witnessing all the beautiful wood around him, he knew exactly what to do. In less than an hour, Keith burnt down the entire forest, never letting go of that wicked smile on his face. For him, it was pure bliss. But like all self-proclaimed hard-working men, he needed to rest, so he went to sleep on a bed of ash, never bothering the heat he had just created. And as he woke up blissfully to the sight of black and ash, there was one thing that did not sit right in the scenery: A man. Clad in heavy armor, seemingly awed at the sight of what Keith has created, the man already knew his purpose and the contribution he will bring. Not even considering his realization a second time, the man said only one thing: "You will be of great use to Noxus." And with that, Noxus became even more formidable, as they word "immolation" became synonymous with that one man. Keith can only ever wait to go on his next mission, never thinking what the real goal is about, while his peers can only hope that they don't get in his way. Because even among Noxians, if there's one man you did not want in your platoon, it was Keith, Burner of Everything and Anything, whether it moves or not.
Appearance:
Keith is a man in his late 40s. He wears a black blazer that completely covers his body to protect him from all the fire he creates all the time. He wears a hood too and his attire in general has Noxian motifs to it to signify his allegiance. His Right arm is robotic, courtesy of Piltover and the only remnant he has from it, which is also equipped with chains in addition the his signature flamethrower. He carries a mechanical pole, which he calls the Stake, on his back that releases fire. But his most notable feature is his nasty grin.

Abilities
From Green to Black
Keith's fire abilities burn brush for 3 seconds. Enemies that come into contact with burning brush take 70 (+25 every level) (+40% AP) magic damage over 3 seconds, refreshed for as long as they remain inside the brush. The same brush cannot be burned again for another 50/40/30/20 seconds (levels 1/6/12/16)
Notes:
Just Fire
60 mana (+5 every rank) | 13 seconds (-1 every rank) | 650 Target Range | Angle: 75° | 1100 Travel Speed |0.4s Cast Time
Keith shoots fire from his mechanized arm in a cone, dealing 11/16.5/22/27.5/33 (+12.5% AP) magic damage every 0.5 second for 3 seconds. If Just Fire hit enemies who are affected by The Stake is High, then the duration is increased to 5 seconds and they take additional magic damage equal to 1% of their maximum health per tick.
Notes:
The Stake is High
80 Mana | 12 seconds | 800 Cast Range | 100 Effect Radius (initial damage) | 150 Effect Radius (+75 every stack) (fiery spiral) | 0.2 Cast Time
Keith throws his Stake at a target location, dealing an initial damage of 50/85/120/155/190 (+50% AP) magic damage and slowing them by 60% for 1.2 second. Afterwards, the Stake remains indefinitely at the location and creates a fiery spiral around it, dealing 15/20/25/30/35 (+12% AP) magic every second to all enemies within the area. Keith can pick up the Stake by walking to it. While the Spear remains at the location, Keith can cast Fire Feeder.
Notes:
30 Mana | 8 seconds | 300 Cast Range | 700 Target Range | 0.4 Cast Time
Fire Feeder: Keith picks up a minion. Afterwards, he can recast the ability to throw the minion in a desired direction, applying the same effects (both damage and slow) of The Stake is High to the first enemy hit. Minions that die to the fire of the Stake will increase the radius of damaging area by 75 units, up to 2 times. The size of the area gradually decreases after 11/12/13/14/15 seconds per stack, refreshed whenever a new stack is added.
Notes:
Burning Chains
50 Mana | 12 seconds | 800 Target Range | 0.2 Cast Time
Keith tosses his chains in a target direction, dealing 60/80/100/120/140 (+40% AP) magic damage to the first enemy hit and rooting them for 0.5 second. Afterwards, Keith may recast this ability to pull the target 450 units in a desired direction. Burning Chains may also work on the Stake.
Notes:
Blazing Euphoria
100 Mana | 130 seconds (-15s every rank) | 200 Effect Radius | 0.45s Cast Time
Keith sets himself on fire, gaining 100% multiplicative movement speed which decays over the duration, immunity to crowd control and 50% damage mitigation for 5 seconds. During this time, any enemy that comes into contact with him are set ablaze, taking 15/25/35 (+10% AP) magic damage every 0.5 second for 5 seconds, refreshed for as long as they are near him. Blazing Euphoria will burn brushes whether they were recently burned or not (i.e. it ignores the cooldown on individual brushes).
