Alex Yee is the co-creator and screenwriter of Emmy-winning Netflix series Arcane, which marked Riot’s first animated series. He and fellow Arcane co-creator Christian Linke were part of the League of Legends team that originally created Vi and Jinx, the beloved League champions who are the show’s protagonists. The second season of Arcane will debut in November 2024.

From the moment Alex started playing League in its early beta stages, he saw the potential for its characters to have deep and compelling narrative backstories. Prior to his work on Arcane, he and Christian co-created an original lyrical song dedicated to Vi and “Get Jinxed,” the hit music video starring Jinx. These projects marked Riot’s first foray into character building through music.

He began his career at Riot in the company’s early days, where he served as a customer service agent answering questions about League.
