Zilean is a ranged, Mage, Support Champion, and I call him "The Time Beard" because of his cool beard. Zilean's lore is as follows (Copy / Paste)
"In the wastelands of Urtistan, there was once a great city. It perished long ago in a terrible Rune War, like most of the lands below the Great Barrier. Nevertheless, one man survived: a sorcerer named Zilean. Being obsessed with time, it was only fitting that he dwelled in the city's Clock Tower. As the havoc of the war neared his home, Zilean experimented with powerful temporal magic to divine all possible futures, hoping to discover a peaceful solution. But Zilean's enchantments affected his perception of the passage of time, and he was in a contemplative stasis when Urtistan was set upon by an entire phalanx of dark summoner-knights of unknown affiliation. By the time he realized his error, Urtistan was nothing more than smoldering debris. The summoners who were responsible for its destruction had wisely left the Clock Tower unharmed, both to avoid drawing Zilean's attention and to torment him for his oversight.
Zilean barely had time to grieve the momentous loss before he learned that his dangerous research had a cruel side effect: chrono-displasia. This mystical disease granted him immortality, but detached his consciousness from its anchor in the present time. He now mentally drifts through time, from any point he has already lived to the present, unable to impact the events which unfold. The most torturous aspect of this curse is that Zilean sometimes experiences Urtistan as it once was and the rest of the time resides in its lonely ruins. Only the powerful summoning magic employed by members of the League of Legends has been able to treat this condition, and Zilean has joined in hopes of finding a cure, and thereafter a way to save his people."
"There is no greater grief than for a loss that is yet to come."―Zilean
The gist of The Time Beards Lore is that he was a scientist of a proud people. He was working on a way to save his people from the great war about to come by placing them in a time field, but in his foolishness he didn't realize that he was effected by it and couldn't tell that his home was in the time field when his people were attacked and with out his help were destroyed. Once free from the Time Field he realized that he was jumping threw time at random. With the help from the OP broken Summoners from the League he was cured of this ailment and forced to fight in the League.
Zilean's main damage tool is his Q which places a bomb over the enemy's head that explodes and does area of effect magic damage.
Zilean's W spell is rewind and once activated all of Zilean's spells get a 10 sec lower cooldown
Zilean's E Spell is Time Warp and it slows all enemies and speeds up the movement speed of ally champions.
Zilean's R ultimate bring himself or a allyed champion with it on them back to life if they take a lethal amount of damage
A common Zilean strategy is placing a bomb on either a tank champion right before he initiates a fight or on a stealth champion so they can sneak up to an enemy and do massive damage without getting seen.
When pushed out of lane use Time Warp to get back to lane faster
The most useful thing about Zilean though, is if hes good with his ultimate. It can make any 2v2 fight in lane a win for you side almost every time.
