Biography[]
Early life[]
Maddie Nolen was born in Noxus, where she became indoctrinated into the Noxian beliefs at a young age. At some point, she joined Ambessa Medarda's forces, before being chosen to be a sleeper agent for her and sent off to Piltover as a plant waiting to be activated should the need to seize control of the city ever arise.
Once in Piltover, Maddie enlisted in the Piltover Police Department, eventually becoming an elite Enforcer.
Season 2[]
Act 1[]
Maddie first appears when she introduces herself to Vi, after the latter spends a night drinking in the street with Loris. Vi assumes Maddie is there to be an aggressor, but she is surprised when Maddie compliments her and relays Caitlyn's positive opinions of her.
At the attack on the memorial, Maddie was temporarily captured by a Chem-Tank, but was freed by Steb.
Maddie would later join Caitlyn’s strike team, the other members being Caitlyn, Vi, Loris, and Steb. She would later infiltrate Zaun along with the Strike Team, but would ultimately be ordered to return to Piltover along with Loris, Steb, and a Zaunite prisoner, Heenot. She was in Piltover by the time The Grey was momentarily diverted into the city by Jinx.
Act 2[]
Maddie next appears lying in bed with Caitlyn, hinting that they had an intimate moment in the bedroom.[1] She doesn’t say much besides trying to convince Cait to turn against Ambessa, but she does return when Caitlyn leaves a lamp in remembrance of her mother and the other deceased Council members.
Act 3[]
Maddie is going over battle plans with Caitlyn when Vi storms into the room, demanding to know where Jinx is.[2] Caitlyn dismisses Maddie, asking her to go check on her father.
During the final battle against Noxus, Maddie betrays Caitlyn by revealing her loyalty to Ambessa, hinting that she was a sleeper agent for Noxus.[2] Maddie attempts to execute Caitlyn with a rifle shot to the neck, expressing little regret at doing so, but Mel Medarda deflects the bullet with a barrier spell, which deflects away from Caitlyn, eventually hitting Maddie in the head. Maddie falls onto Caitlyn’s shoulder face-first, then lands unmoving on the ground. Caitlyn then looks down at her former colleague’s body with a surprised and angry look on her face.
Characteristics[]
Personality[]
I did appreciate the warmth.—Maddie Nolen, to Caitlyn Kiramman, "The Dirt Under Your Nails"
While undercover, Maddie's overall demeanor was perpetually optimistic and enthusiastic, radiating warmth and positivity wherever she goes. She was always ready with a smile and encouraging words. She was very eager to learn and please her superiors, especially Caitlyn.
However, this was all just a facade to cover up her true allegiances to Noxus, and Ambessa Medarda. After the truth is revealed, Maddie is shown to be cold and ruthless towards Caitlyn, having betrayed her and all her allies. She was also implied to be a sadist as she was prepared to shoot Caitlyn through the neck rather than her head ensuring that she would die a slow and painful death, rather than a quick and painless one.
Appearance[]
Maddie is a young woman, in her early 20s, with short, choppy orange hair that falls just past her chin, grey-blue eyes, and a spattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks. She has a heart-shaped face with naturally rosy cheeks and usually a warm smile. She usually wears her police uniform with pride, but while off-duty in Episode 4, she is seen in a white un-buttoned blouse.
Abilities[]
Maddie is shown to be a talented sharpshooter.
She was also a very good actor, as she hid her true allegiance until moments before her death.
Trivia[]
