Noxian High Command

The Noxian High Command is the military and administrative apparatus that executes the will of the Trifarix across the vast Noxian Empire. Comprised of generals, governors, and warlords, it directs the empire's legions and oversees its conquered territories. Where the Trifarix sets grand strategy from Noxus Prime, the High Command turns those ambitions into brutal reality on battlefields across Runeterra. Much of the Command's reach rests in its generals, who hold authority over both standing armies and networks of covert operatives. General Du Couteau was among the most formidable, a blademaster of the house of Du Couteau. When he cornered the young thief Talon in a duel and disarmed him, he offered a choice between death by his hand or a life as an agent of the Noxian High Command. Talon accepted, on the condition that his service was to Du Couteau alone, for the only orders he could respect came from one he could not defeat. As the general's agent, he carried out secret missions that took him from the frigid Freljord to the inner sanctums of Demacia itself. The Command also draws talent from beyond its formal ranks. The mercenary Samira, backed by her former captain Indari and Indari's connections in the military and noble houses, won the acceptance of the high command, which recognized that no one was better suited to take on its most perilous missions. Through such agents, Noxus extends its will where its legions alone cannot reach. Headquartered in Noxus Prime and dating to the founding of the empire, the High Command remains active, the instrument through which Noxus wages its wars of conquest. Its enemies are the powers that resist that expansion, chief among them Demacia and Ionia. Champions such as Darius and Draven number among its notable figures.
