Alright, this is going to be super informal. With no intro needed, let's jump right in.
Aatrox is known as the Darkin blade. With powers over bloodlust and rage. He is described as a tall red man, with a LIVING sword. (Living is important, we'll get to that)
Now, if you look carefully at Jax's and Darius' splash art, over their weapons is a small humanoid figure that looks like Aatorx, the Darkin Blade. Also, in Aatrox's lore it says that there are more Darkin. Five to be exact. Some believe that Jax and Darius are Darkin, but I don't.
I believe that the Darkin are not people, but weapons. And as for the other Darkin... Darius and Varus.
Varus first, in his lore it says that he gave into corruption. Guess what that corruption? A Godamn bow! What are the Darkin? Weapons! As Aatrox is bloodlust and rage, Varus is vengeance. Also as Varus has not fully given in to the corruption, his body is not fully corrupted.
Now Darius! Think about it, Aatrox is in his splash art. Direct connection. Fuckin Darius man, Fuckin Darius. Also, his giant fucking axe gives him control over fear. In his lore it says that his soldiers are terrified, but follow him into battle.
Pas for Jax? He is of unknown race, is called the Grandmaster at Arms, and has Aatrox in his Splash Art. So, he is the creator of the Darkin! It makes perfect sense. So far (as for Darkins) we have an axe, a bow, and a sword. Jax, who wielded a Darkin, (after he created them) was officially permabanned by the league itslef. Wow. He must have been pretty fucking powerful of the league created restrictions for him. They let people like Cho'Gath in. Who ,by the way, can devour the whole world, and Karthus who can destroy the work if he finishes his song, Requiem into the league with no restrictions.
Well, there you have it! My theory, PM me or review with your own theory, or if I fucked up. Tell me!
