How did Caitlyn’s Strike Team Form?
The first episode of Arcane Season 2 revealed that half of the members of the Piltover Council perished after Jinx’s rocket hit the tower. One of the members who perished was Caitlyn’s mother, Cassandra Kiramman. That, alongside other key events in the first episode, led Caitlyn towards a deep desire to carry on the Kiramman legacy, culminating in creating “Caitlyn’s Strike Team” to round out Arcane’s Season 2 opener.

Steb is a combination of both man and fish who dons a turquoise skin tone and debuts alongside Maddie Nolen. While quiet, he quickly displays heroic traits in Arcane Season 2 when he saves Maddie from an attack.
