• Biography
• Timeline of events

Chinese hitman Li Zhao Yu is a radiant with the ability to transmute ambient, intangible radianite energy into solid, durable constructs. A former assassin for the Scions of Hourglass, Li gained a fearsome reputation for his high effectiveness. Though it was said that anyone who would go up against him would disappear for good, rumors still spread beyond about the "Dead Lilac", a bulletproof wizard who could take out entire squads with one round and condemn targets to their fate in a flash of purple.

Li had been crossing off targets related to Kingdom Corporation's Project Landfall when one day the Scions of Hourglass changed focus and gave him a new target: a former assassin of theirs known as "Ghost", who they had just discovered was now the phantom agent of the VALORANT Protocol called Omen. To make matters more convenient, VALORANT themselves had also put themselves in a position where Li had become of interest to them anyway. The organization had attacked a Landfall facility just before Li's last assignment, and they were now investigating the unrelated disappearance of Landfall's leadership, people Li had been assassinating. When a contact from the Protocol reached out to ask for his cooperation, Li saw this as his opportunity to get to Omen. Pretending to defect from the Scions of Hourglass, Li was extracted by the Protocol and recruited as its twenty-fourth agent, "Iso".

With Iso and the orders from his superiors being responsible for the disappearances they had been investigating, VALORANT was eager to know as much about the Scions of Hourglass as possible. Iso made sure at first to stick to his mission and relent against their inquiries, constantly claiming that the compartmentalized nature of Hourglass' operations meant he didn't have much intel to give them, all while he was biding his time for the right moment to strike and take out Omen. But the longer Iso stayed among the Protocol agents, the more he started to see the differences between the two organizations. In contrast to Hourglass' ruthless missions and isolated work, VALORANT's agents had a brightness to them both in the field with their pride in their mission and out of the field in the time they spent with one another. Going through the process of becoming a VALORANT agent had just been a means to an end for Iso, but in getting to know the organization more his perspective had now been completely changed.

Turning his apparent defection from a deception into reality, Iso fully embraced his allegiance to the Protocol. With Omen having been obsessed over Iso's links to his forgotten past ever since he had arrived, Iso proceeded to inform him about the assassination order. With more intel he was able to provide, he also joined VALORANT's efforts to assist Omen in his pursuit for answers, leading them to a successful mission against the Scions of Hourglass at a base in Jakarta, taking out Iso's old boss in the process. With Omen satisfied for the meantime with what he learned there, Iso now continues as an agent of the VALORANT Protocol with a new purpose, no longer a killer to be controlled, but a force of good.

Persönlichkeit

“	"So, who has to die?" — Iso (Match Start)

Iso has a relatively laid back and confident personality, yet there's something mysterious about him due to not much being known about his early life. He enjoys listening to music while in combat, almost identically to Raze. He has somewhat of an arrogant side, as he prefers to take on one-on-one fights against his enemies rather than five-on-five. Despite this, he can still fight alongside his team, planning strategies to outplay his enemies.

Erscheinungsbild

Iso trägt einen weißen Hoodie mit dunkelvioletten Farben, die bis zum Kragen reichen, sowie einigen Markierungen auf der Rückseite, dazu violette Sneaker mit roten Schnürsenkeln, weißen Zwischensohlen und schwarzen Laufsohlen. Er hat schwarze Haare und etwas, das wie ein Verband auf seiner rechten Wange aussieht, und trägt In-Ears.

Trivia

• Iso ist der einzige Agent, dessen englischer Synchronsprecher nicht bekannt ist.

Entwicklung

• Ein früher Leak für Iso's Basis- und Signaturfähigkeiten war bereits in den Spieldateien in 7.0, wo dessen Codenamen und modi-spezifischen Cooldowns in einer Datei aufgelistet waren, in welcher Fähigkeitencooldowns für Teambasiertes Deathmatch enthalten waren.
• Die Verwendung hexagonaler Designs von Iso ist von der strukturellen Stabilität von Sechsecken in natürlichen Designs inspiriert.
• Dublette's shield application had multiple iterations during development:
  • One version gave the shield instantly upon getting takedowns, but this interfered with instincts when trading where an enemy thought they would have killed Iso and transferred off but Iso would gain the shield off a takedown in that time and survive instead.
  • Another version had a brief delay before the shield would automatically activate after a takedown, but this felt too non-responsive.
• The name "Iso" could be short for "Isometric view" an angle of perspective where 90º angles appear to be 120º angles instead. This view gives certain cubical shapes a hexagonal look, similar to how Iso's abilities regularly portray hexagons.
