    Tryndamere - Tryndamere (CMO) (Likes Everquest)

    Volibear - Travis 'Volibar' George (Gameplay Producer) (Worked for the evil Activision! He must be up to something)

    Udyr - Steve 'Udyr' Mieczkowski (Associate Producer) (Likes nerdy sci-fi, I wonder which ones?)

    Ezreal - Colt 'Ezreal' Hallam (Game designer) (Seriously this guy designed like 300 champions)

    Veigar - Veigar Bouius (Senior QA Analyst) (His great great great grandfather was Odin, no joke)

    Items:

    Morellonomicon - Ryan 'Morello' Scott (Lead Designer) (Set fire to Microsoft QA department)

    Guinsoo's Rageblade - Steve 'Guinsoo' Feak (Game Designer) (Rocks the Rubik's Cube)

    Tamat - Andrew 'Tamat' Beegle (Lead Community Manager) (Grew up in Alaska and digs Sushi... moose sushi?)

    Ones I missed:

    IXI Jacen IXI: Locket of the Iron Solari - Michael 'IronStylus' Maurino (Senior Concept Artist) (He prefers Diana to Leona make sure to mention that)

    Your Persona: Statikk Shiv - Riot Statikk (Assistant Game Designer)

    TuxedoMask95: Runaan's Hurricane - Devon 'Riot Runaan' Giehl (Associate Creative Designer)

    I don't know Riot, did I miss any?
