Heimerdinger is a minor character in the Arcane series who enjoys great status in the city of Piltover, even though he is not from Piltover. We’ll explain to you who the brilliant scientist Heimerdinger actually is.
Spoiler alert: The following article discusses events from Arcane Season 1 and the official trailers for it. If you haven’t seen this yet, you shouldn’t read any further.
Who is Heimerdinger? Heimerdinger is not one of the first 20 champions in the game, but he was added as a new champion in October in the 2009 release. With him Shaco was added.
In the first season of Arcane, Heimerdinger, a brilliant professor in Piltover, is introduced. He looks like a small anthropomorphic animal. But there is a lot behind the small appearance, because Heimerdinger is a gifted engineer and scientist who is over 300 years old.
Over the course of the story he meets many well-known characters, whom he tries to support with help and advice. Despite his brilliant mind, he is always keen on the safety and ethics behind science. Unlike his former colleague Singed.

Heimerdinger comes from another world
Where does Heimerdinger come from? Although he enjoys a good reputation in Piltover, Heimerdinger is not from the city. He is a Yordle and comes from the city of Bandle City. Yordle are most comparable to elves, and their city is not as easy to find. It lies on a plane apart from the mundane world.
Yordles are also considered immortal, which is why they age much more slowly. This also explains why Heimerdinger is already over 300 years old.
However, the scientist keeps his origins secret because yordles are hunted and feared throughout Runeterra.
Despite his connection to the spiritual world, Heimerdinger is a gifted engineer who works as a scholar and professor for the future city of Piltover. But he is always careful. As seen in Arcane, he is very concerned about the safety of inventions. Nevertheless, he also worked on military weapons for Piltover.
Due to his tireless desire for knowledge, there was a time when he also worked with the scientist Singed. However, the collaboration broke down due to his unethical methods and views. His work with Hextech also differs greatly from Singed’s alchemical work.
His most famous invention is known to every LoL player: his gun turrets.
Heimerdinger in Arcane Season 2
What does Heimerdinger do after the first season? In Season 1 of Arcane, a conflict arises between Jayce and Heimerdinger because Jayce is working on an experimental Hex Core. But Heimerdinger is against it because it is not safe enough.
Jayce, who at the time harbors a grudge against Zaun, manages to use political influence to replace Heimerdinger from the Piltover Council and advance his plans against Zaun.
Heimerdinger cannot bear this and flees to Zaun to offer his help to those in need. He meets Ekko, with whom he wants to work on his inventions.
So in season 2 we don’t have to say goodbye to Heimerdinger. It can be assumed that he will work with Ekko to help the poor people of Zaun. After all, that’s why Ekko founded the Firelights. You can also welcome new champions in season 2, probably including Warwick: Arcane Season 2: Who is Warwick? We explain the monster from the trailer to you
