“We were outsiders. Now they bow to us.“
– Aurok Glinthorn

Minotaurs are physically powerful. As such, they appear to gravitate to Noxxii environments.

History
According to Aurok Glinthorn, the Minotaurs have been subjugated for generations. Furthermore, they identified as outcasts. That was until Noxus conquered the lands and allowed the minotaurs of Runeterra to experience freedom. It is for this reasons the Minotaurs serve their allegiance to Noxus. [1]
Personality
In Runeterra, minotaurs are depicted as cold brutes with an aggressive demeanor. Their unsympathetic ethics prove useful when fighting in battle. They are clearly sentient and well aware of their intimidating presence.
I don't care who wronged you or what they did. You need me to make it right in the pit, you pay up front. There's no discount for sad stories. [1]
Minotaur Reckoner
Minotaurs in Noxus
Runeterra minotaurs are most often seen in the military capacity of Noxus. As such, they're seen wearing little armor but frightening and offensive type garments.
Military
After generations of slavery, Noxus has provided Minotaurs with the opportunity to flourish. As a result of this event and the natural strength of the minotaur, they now hold positions of power, such as General.
Reckoner's Arena
Minotaurs appear to gravitate to the Reckoner's Arenas in Runeterra. They are essentially gladiators fighting in the arena while a large crowd spectates the event.
In one case, we see the Minotaur Reckoner primitively accept money in order to defeat a foe in the arena.
Like many other fighters, the Minotaur Reckoner gets a rush of blood and a thrill from the crowd. Nonetheless, the dangerous conditions of the Reckoner arena leave much to be desired, even for the ruthless and powerful Minotaur. What keeps him going is the coin. Still not everyone pays on time, specifically, the Arena Bookie. [2]
Undead Minotaur
It is possible to use hemomancy (blood magic) to resurrect minotaurs in Runeterra. Next, after being 'fallen' and 'risen' they become a revenant. Minotaur Revenants have glowing red eyes and appear dramatically more aggressive.
Terminology
The Empire: Referring to the military division of Noxus. [1]
