Khan

Khan ▶️ is a Front Line Champion in Paladins, added on April 12th, 2018.

Lore

This is Khan's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.


When the Patriarch of House Aico issued the command to keep the House's banner upright for the longest amount of time, his captains — strong enough to toss lesser men across the battlefield — couldn't manage to last even a day.

The last captain to attempt was a young Khan, who only lasted hours before he began to tire. As his will faltered, he beckoned to a commoner and tasked her with taking up his place in holding it upright.

"Even though I must fall," he said, "the banner will remain."

Thus he passed the test, for this was no test of strength, but one of loyalty to House Aico. Khan proved himself worthy of command that day. Now, he serves as advisor and protector to Grand Magister Lian herself.

This is an unofficial version of Khan's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.


Once a normal captain for House Aico, after doing everything in his power to ensure House Aico's banner remained upright in a loyalty test disguised as one of strength, Khan's devotion paid off, and he was promoted to Primus of House Aico, Lian's personal advisor and protector.

When news that the self-proclaimed god, Jenos, had returned, Khan was tasked with recruiting him into House Aico's ranks. Though Jenos refused, Khan is not someone who takes "no" for an answer, leading to Siege of Ascension Peak, though unfortunately for Khan, the siege would end in failure.

Following this, when the Magistrate called on the royal houses to assist in defending the Realm from Yagorath, Khan was sent into battle alongside Rei, both to help fight the beast, as well as to retrieve a special codex from the Aico Library in Crosswind Hold.

After Yagorath had been defeated and leadership of the Magistrate was entrusted to House Aico, Khan naturally remained with the group and led the following parade through Crosswind Hold.

Following Lian bringing in the dying Corvus, Khan would remain by Lian's side, almost ending up in a fight with Lillith, whom Lian had called to help save Corvus.

This was Khan's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.


The Patriarch of House Aico issued a challenge to his captains: hold the house's banner for as long as possible. Few were strong enough to last a day. The last captain to receive the test, a young man named Khan, held the banner for hours. As his arms tired, he beckoned to a common servant and asked her to take it from him, "Even though I must fall," he said, "the banner will remain." This was not test of strength, but one of loyalty to House Aico. Khan passed the test and proved himself worthy of command. Today, he serves Lian as advisor and protector.

Summary

Khan is a high-damage, heavy crowd control Frontline Champion, with powerful tools all around to make him useful in various situations. Despite his strength in bullying during fights, he struggles to turn fights back to his favor once he's at a disadvantage, especially without his ultimate, and his limited mobility leaves him with a harder time escaping fights he's losing in.

Skills

Khan's primary ability is his Heavy Repeater; a close-quarters rapid-fire weapon capable of dealing hefty damage.
His secondary fire is Bulwark; a resource-dependent personal shield that Khan holds out which protects his front.
Battle Shout is his primary ability, where he shouts out, making himself invulnerable to damage for a short duration, as well as healing himself and nearby allies.
For his movement ability, he has Commander's Grab, where he charges forward and, if he collides with an enemy, he grabs them, stuns them as he lifts said enemy up, and throws them behind him.
His Ultimate ability is Overpower, where he grabs an enemy in line of sight, pulls them in, and can hold them in the air for a limited duration during which they are stunned and vulnerable, as well as capable of blasting said enemy into the direction he aims at, dealing damage to them and other enemies they impact.

Talents and Cards

Khan's talents provide him following:

  • Increase the regeneration speed of Bulwark's resource, even while it's active, with Lian's Shield.
  • In return for reducing the damage per shot of Heavy Repeater, it gains a dramatically increased fire rate with Storm of Bullets.
  • Increase the stun duration of Commander's Grab as well as make its victims take more damage, with Vortex Grip.

Khan's cards focus on providing him with extra healing, regenerating/increasing Ammo, reducing cooldowns, and augmenting abilities.

Trivia


Lore

  • Khan and House Aico lost the battle at Siege of Ascension Peak.[1]
  • Khan's current armor is the fourth or fifth version of it.[2]
  • Khan leads multiple armies.[3]
  • Despite Khan's joke about the ska'drin's lack of honor being very clearly racist, the developers claim he's not actually being racist, but simply referencing the fact the ska'drin are discriminated against.[4][5]
  • Khan's a bit too obsessed with honor.[5]
  • Khan prefers being up close and personal in combat.[6][7]
  • If Khan were to ever be more clearly depicted outside his armor, he'd be asian. He also wouldn't be black.[8]
  • Khan and Lian aren't siblings.[9]
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Khan would be around 6'2 or 189cm tall, while adding his helmet brings Khan to around 7'1 or 216cm tall.


Cameos

Khan appears in the following content:

Notable Characters that appear in Khan's own content includes:

  • Cards
    • Lian - Orders Emote*


References


Concepts

  • Khan had many unused designs prior to his final look being settled on, many of which can be viewed here.[11] Earlier concepts featured Khan with more standard proportions, as well as a stronger warrior theme and occasionally wielding a weapon such as a spear or seemingly a gun replacing one of his arms, similarly to Atlas. Most early concepts also feature some of Khan's skin visible, as well as his gauntlet being fitted with a chained hook, likely for pulling enemies towards himself with Overpower. The visible skin and hook would remain for many concepts, even being featured in Khan's design in the "A Realm Divided" cinematic, only being removed extremely late.
  • There are a number of skin concepts for Khan that ultimately went unused; these include the Champion, Doomcaller, Druid, Royal Dragon, and Void Slayer skins.[12]
    • As can be seen in these various concepts, Khan's codename was "Vanguard".
  • Khan had another skin concept that made it much further along in development, that being the Cyber Samurai skin and a recolor. It ultimately had to be scrapped due to scope and scheduling issues.[13]


Other

  • Khan was not initially able to move when using his ultimate, but when testing, he was accidentally not set to be rooted in place, and upon seeing this, the developers decided being able to move around while using Khan's ultimate was better.[14]
  • Khan is one of the only characters to have an official Twitter account, sharing this trait with Jenos and Lian; all three of which were created as part of a promotion for Siege of Ascension Peak and Khan's own release.[6][7]
  • When using the Orders emote, a hologram of Lian will appear. She'll exclaim "Lay down your life for me! Be ready to fight, and to die!" (▶️▶️), to which Khan responds with "For the house, I stand stalwart!" (▶️). This occurs with Khan's default, Royal Guard, and Mixer skins, though a hologram of Mixer's logo appears instead of Lian for the latter.
  • Khan is tied with Jenos, Lian, and Strix as having received the most unique skins from Battle Passes.
  • Khan used to cost 60,000 Gold or 300 Crystals to unlock prior to being made free in the RWBY update.
  • Khan used to have a secondary idle animation that would occasionally play in the champion select screen and individual champion page. It was seemingly quietly removed in the Darkness and Dragons update. The original animation can be seen here.
  • Khan is one of the only characters to have appeared in an in-game cutscene. He shares this trait with Furia, Viktor (old appearance), and Abyssal Lord Drogoz.


Champion Skins

  • Royal Guard
    • A royal guard is... well, a guard who protects royalty. Don't know what you were expecting honestly.


  • Ameri-Khan



  • Mixer
    • This skin shares its voice pack with the Overlord skin, making it one of the only skins to share its voice pack with another non-recolor skin.
    • This skin is a promotional item based on the now-defunct streaming service Mixer.
    • When using the "Orders" emote with this skin, a Mixer symbol is displayed, however, Lian is still heard speaking. Khan will respond with the same line from his default voice pack, rather than a unique one from the Overlord pack.
