Jayce Giopara
Jayce is almost always the smartest man in the room, and he knows it. He is regarded throughout all of Piltover as a hero, the youngest apprenta ever taken in by House Giopara. Though he has devoted his life and considerable intellegence to the defense of his city, he's far from the shining persona the papers paint him. Once people get to know Jayce, most would describe him using words like "difficult," "prickly," and "an asshole."
It's not that he thinks he's smarter than everyone else. He knows he is, and is very annoyed that no one else can keep up. Well, there was one person that could keep up, both with his intellect and his attitude.
It didn't end well.

Bio Quotes
"While revered throughout the city as a hero, he hasn’t taken well to the attention it brings. Still, Jayce’s heart is in the right place, and even those who envy his natural skills are grateful for his protection in the City of Progress"
"Most things came easy to Jayce, and he could never understand why his peers had so much trouble with what, to him, were simple concepts. As a result, nearly everyone who worked alongside Jayce found him arrogant, dismissive, and unwilling to slow his pace to help his colleagues catch up. As time went on, his patience became shorter, while at the same time, a chasm grew between decorum, charm, and Jayce’s natural demeanor."
"Quite simply, Jayce wasn’t used to working hard: this damned crystal was the first thing that had ever resisted his considerable mental aptitude. For the first time, he realized how his peers must have felt, trying so hard to solve a problem, only to bump against your own limitations. It felt frustrating. It felt unfair
And it probably felt much, much worse if you were working alongside an arrogant inventor who dismissed your every effort.
Jayce realized that despite how dismissive he’d been toward his fellow scholars, none of them ever gave up. None of them ever stopped seeking the very things that defined Piltover: Progress. Discovery. If they wouldn’t give up, Jayce decided, he wouldn’t either.
And maybe he’d try to be nicer.
Maybe. "
