Jayce Talis was a main character in Arcane. An ambitious, intelligent, and compassionate man, he and his mother were saved by arcane magic and he became dedicated to finding a way to harness this magic. By becoming partners with the Zaunite inventor Viktor, they successfully achieve his goal in creating Hextech. Jayce is later appointed councillor and supported by his friend and former lover, Mel Medarda, but struggles between these new responsibilities and his and Viktor's dream of saving lives. Jayce is an ambitious, somewhat gullible (in earlier episodes), and creative person. In the beginning he has a dream for Hextech and is confident in its potential. He has a passion for his invention and when he and Viktor successfully harness the Hex crystal, we see a child-like happiness from Jayce. Later he becomes less gullible as he makes his way up to be the de-facto leader of The Council. He is more strong-willed with his decisions in politics. We also see his caring side when Viktor grows more sick, and he leaves Mel’s bedside to be with him. Later Jayce leaves behind his occupation as a Council member to pursue his and Viktor’s true dream for Hextech. One day the council was attacked by Jinx, as she bombed the council room where Jayce, Mel, other council members and Viktor were in. He acted upon his emotions to save Viktor; by fusing him with the Hexcore to revive him. When Viktor is revived by the Hexcore he is changed. Viktor is angry at Jayce for not letting him die to the explosion as Viktor believed the hexcore was dangerous and would lead to humanity’s ruin. Viktor leaves, not telling Jayce where he’s going and Jayce becomes even more emotional, sleeping in the lab in hopes he would return.
