At first, Caitlyn refused, but eventually came to realize that the Wardens’ resources could potentially get her closer to discovering the true identity of “C".Ĭaitlyn has since become a highly respected officer within the ranks of the Wardens, always striving to make the City of Progress a better and safer place. She had been recommended by one of their number who had also developed something of an affinity for stranger cases-and their battle with a host of rogue chimerics in the employ of a lunatic chem-researcher driven mad by his own concoctions led to her being offered a formal position as a sheriff. The weapon could take a variety of specialized shells, and be easily modified in the field.Īfter a particularly traumatic case involving a missing hextech device and a series of child abductions, Caitlyn was summoned by the Wardens. In recognition of her self-made success, Caitlyn’s parents crafted her a hextech rifle of exquisite artifice, with greater accuracy than any musket. Utilizing her hunting skills, she established herself as a private investigator, and quickly made a name for herself as someone who could find anything or anyone. Instead, her focus turned toward breaking through the web of intrigue surrounding the mysterious "C". And, though she loved her parents dearly, Caitlyn had no desire to take her mother’s place, nor to learn her father’s trade as an artificer. Her mother in particular could no longer face the politics and duplicity of clan life, and gave up her prestigious role, leaving something of a vacuum in the Kiramman leadership. She rescued them under cover of darkness, and alerted the Piltover Wardens… though not one of the kidnappers they arrested knew the identity of the individual who had hired them-only a proxy with the initial C.Ĭaitlyn and her parents began to rebuild their lives… but something fundamental had changed. The trail eventually led her to a hidden safehouse, where her mother and father were being tortured for information. Tracking within the confines of a city was very different from hunting in the wild but, one by one, Caitlyn located the thugs who had invaded her family home. Caitlyn secured the house, and immediately set out to find them. The family retainers were all dead, and there was no trace of her parents. At first, Caitlyn paid little heed-to her, Piltover was a place of beauty and order that she cherished after each trip into the wild.Īll that was to change one Progress Day, some years later.Ĭaitlyn returned to find her home ransacked and empty. Her mother was one of the highest comptrollers in Clan Kiramman, and would always warn Caitlyn of Piltover’s seductions, and its gilded promises that could harden the kindest heart. Equally adept at mingling with the moneyed elite of the City of Progress or stalking a deer through the mud of the forest, she could confidently track a bird on the wing over the merchant districts, or put a shot through the eye of a hare at a hundred paces with her father’s repeater musket.Ĭaitlyn’s greatest assets, however, were her intelligence and willingness to learn from her parents, who reinforced her understanding of right and wrong, even within a life of comfort and privilege. Born into a wealthy and influential merchant clan, Caitlyn Kiramman swiftly learned the social graces of life in Piltover, but preferred to spend her time in the wilder lands outside it.
