The story in short
Darius and his little brother Draven grew up as orphans on the streets of Basilich, and Darius was always the one looking out for Draven. When Noxus took the city, a commander named Cyrus brought both boys into his army, and that was the start of Darius's career.
He rose through sheer, ruthless discipline. At Dalamor Plain he beheaded a Noxian general for ordering a retreat, and later Darkwill himself made him the Hand of Noxus. But by the time Darius came back from the Freljord, Darkwill was dead and Swain had taken his place. Darius respected Swain and was ready to follow him. Swain had a different idea: Noxus would be ruled by three, the Trifarix, and Darius gladly took his seat.
