==Story==
Centuries ago, Ob Nixilis was a ruthless human
tyrant on a hellish plane of unending war. No
tactics were too merciless—and no magic too
dark—to secure his ascendancy. By the time he
was forty years old, he had dominated the entire
world.
With nothing more to conquer, he was left
without purpose...until his Planeswalker spark
ignited. Infinite worlds opened to him, undreamed-
of vistas just waiting to bow before the vast new
power he had unlocked. Soon, however, he
learned that there were others like him—other
PIaneswalkers—whose power and ambition
equaled his own. To best these new rivals, Ob
Nixilis would do what he had always done: betray
any trust, commit any blasphemy, and pay any
price for power.
He thought himself invincible, but
then he suffered a cruel defeat. He sought to seize
the power of the legendary Chain Veil for himself,
but instead suffered its curse, which stripped him
of his humanity, transforming him into a
monstrous demon. At last, he found a price he was
not willing to pay. In search of a cure for this
curse, he made his way to [[Battle_for_Zendikar|Zendikar]], a world of
powerful but unpredictable mana. Before he could
begin to draw on this power, however, he was met
by Zendikar's seIf-appointed protector—the
Planeswalker [[Nahiri,_the_Harbinger|Nahiri]], the Lithomancer. As the
creator of the hedrons that covered the plane and
kept the Eldrazi in stasis, Nahiri kept watch over
Zendikar to make sure no Planeswalkers' meddling
would awaken the titans. And she bound Ob Nixilis
with the same magic, placing a hedron in his skull
and suppressing his Planeswalker spark.
Trapped
on Zendikar, powerless, Ob Nixilis became
obsessed with recovering his spark and escaping
his imprisonment. He schemed and scraped to
acquire the relics he needed to unlock the merest
fraction of the power he once wielded, nursing a
fury toward Zendikar that grew over the course of
centuries. Eventually, Nixilis began channeling dark
magic even other demons feared. After years of
plotting, he was finally able to remove the hedron
that bound him to the plane. Now, Ob Nixilis is
unshackled, and he's directing his energies toward
his next goal: rekindling his spark.
