Season 2 of Arcane has officially kicked off, and the latest episodes have introduced fans to some intriguing new characters — one of which is Dr. Reveck, a pivotal figure in the League of Legends universe. If you've been following the show, you've probably noticed his dark presence and mysterious backstory. But who is this enigmatic character, and what does he have to do with Orianna, one of League of Legends' most beloved and tragic champions?
The Revelation of Dr. Reveck
In Episode 5 of Arcane Season 2, we get a shocking reveal. Singed — the mad alchemist we've come to know over the course of the series — is finally unmasked. While he's been a key player in the seedy underbelly of Zaun, it's now made clear that Singed is not just any chemist. His real name is Dr. Corin Reveck, and his identity is a game-changer for both Arcane and League of Legends fans alike.
At first glance, Dr. Reveck's name may not ring any bells if you're unfamiliar with League of Legends lore. But for those who are in the know, this revelation ties directly into the tragic backstory of Orianna, the iconic mechanical champion.
Who is Dr. Reveck in Arcane and League of Legends?
Dr. Corin Reveck is no ordinary scientist. A renowned alchemist from Piltover, Reveck was once a brilliant and respected figure in the city's scientific community. However, his reputation took a dark turn when he was expelled from the prestigious Piltover Academy for an undisclosed crime. What many don't know, however, is that Reveck's obsession with scientific advancement would ultimately lead him down a much more dangerous path.
It’s here that we begin to understand the connection between Dr. Reveck and Orianna. In both Arcane and the League of Legends lore, Reveck is the father of Orianna, the young girl who tragically became the mechanical champion we know today. Orianna's backstory is one of loss and tragedy — her father’s experiments were responsible for the horrific transformation of her body, turning her into the steam-powered automaton she eventually becomes.
But here's the twist: In Arcane Season 2, it's revealed that the girl who died and was placed in a mysterious "coffin" was, in fact, Orianna. Fans have long speculated about the connection between Singed and Reveck, and this confirmation ties everything together in a shocking way.
Dr. Reveck’s Role in the Creation of Shimmer
As if this connection to Orianna wasn’t enough to spark interest, Arcane also explores Reveck's darker contributions to the world of Piltover and Zaun. It turns out that Dr. Reveck is also the creator of Shimmer, the dangerous and addictive substance that has flooded the streets of Zaun since Season 1.
Shimmer is not only a catalyst for the chaos and corruption that plagues the undercity, but it also plays a significant role in the development of several characters — including Jinx. Reveck’s involvement in creating Shimmer hints at his willingness to push the boundaries of science, regardless of the consequences. His actions have far-reaching impacts, especially as the substance begins to spiral out of control in Zaun.
The Mystery of Orianna’s Future
As Arcane Season 2 progresses, the mystery surrounding Orianna's fate only deepens. After the events of Episode 5, it's clear that her story will take center stage in the coming episodes. Fans have been speculating for a while that Orianna could be transformed into a steam golem or something similar — a living machine capable of immense power. With Reveck’s twisted alchemy and experiments, this transformation seems all but inevitable.
But what will become of Orianna? Will she reclaim her humanity, or will she fully embrace the mechanical monstrosity that her father created? And what of Dr. Reveck’s own future? As the criminal behind Shimmer and the creator of the monster that was once his daughter, Reveck’s fate is anything but secure.
The Road Ahead in Arcane Season 2
As we wait for the final three episodes of Season 2, the questions around Dr. Reveck, Orianna, and the future of Piltover and Zaun only grow more pressing. What will happen when Orianna learns the truth about her father’s role in her tragic transformation? Will Reveck ever face the consequences of his actions? And how will the fallout from Shimmer continue to shape the future of both cities?
The stakes have never been higher, and the mysteries have never been more tangled. We can only wait to see how these complex characters and their intertwined fates will unfold in Arcane Season 2’s Act 3, which will be released on November 23. Will Reveck's twisted legacy be his undoing, or will he continue to manipulate the forces of science and alchemy to his advantage?
Stay tuned, because the journey is far from over — and the true depths of Dr. Reveck’s involvement in the world of Arcane are only just beginning to reveal themselves.
