Trivia

• Tryndamere was designed by Guinsoo.
• Tryndamere is voiced by Brian Sommer, Who also voices Willump and Warwick.
• Tryndamere was named after Marc Merrill's character on EverQuest, which is also his forum and summoner name.
• He previously held the title "The Dark Champion", but since the second official trailer, he now holds the title "The Barbarian King".
• In the August 31st 2010 edition of The Journal of Justice, it was written that Tryndamere was passed down his sword from his father, who had it passed down from his father before him, and so on. Tryndamere said his father's words of wisdom were "master using it and you can have this" - a quote from the original Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System, released in 1987.
• Tryndamere has strong similarities to Conan the Barbarian.
  • His story appears to have been based off of the opening sequence of the 1982 "Conan the Barbarian" movie, in which Conan's entire village is slaughtered and he swears revenge upon those who destroyed it.
  • In the original stories, Conan is said to have come from a nomadic people of the far north of his world, while Tryndamere comes from the Northern Freljord.
  • Conan is said to have "become a king by his own hand" in the 1982 movie. Tryndamere became the Barbarian King by uniting all the Barbarians of his home land under his leadership, thanks to his friendships with most of the Barbarian leaders.
• Tryndamere's dance refers to Hopak, the traditional Cossack dance. His previous dance, before patch V1.0.0.122, was a reference from N'Sync's dance in their song, Bye Bye Bye. A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
• As of patch V1.0.0.122, Tryndamere now uses the Fury system instead of health for his abilities.

Quotes

• His quote, "I am your worst nightmare," is shared by both his classic skin and Demonblade Tryndamere skin.
• Tryndamere shares a quote with Anivia, Cassiopeia, Janna and Kassadin : "As you wish."
