Meaning and background
The story behind Ekko
Ekko is a time-manipulating character from Riot Games’ League of Legends world. Riot’s own account places him in Zaun and identifies his invention, the Z-Drive, as the device through which he explores alternative possibilities. It also describes his commitment to protecting the people he cares about. A player choosing the name for a dog has a clear fictional namesake to identify. Preserve the double k for that reference; the story does not establish Ekko as an inherited spelling of Echo or a literal translation of time.
