Karn & Hanna
by Miguel Caron
Here are the next two characters I've decided to do
bios on. . . . Hanna and Karn.
Karn, Silver Golem
In the tireless work of the Planeswalker Urza. . . in
his fruitless attempts to pass objects through a small
portal, he discovered that simple silver was able to
pass through it unharmed. He soon set to work
constructing a golem made out of the material. . . who
became known as Karn.
Karn is unlike most characters in the Magic world, he
is ever so silent and thoughtful of his duties aboard
the Skyship Weatherlight, and he disapproves of war,
being a natural born pacifist. . . refusing the lay a
fist upon any other living creature. Karn's innate
ability to transmute inanimate machines into life secured
him place upon the Weatherlight and in the
projects for the Legacy orchestrated by Urza.
At one point, the golem was captured by a raid of
Moggs under the command of Greven Il-Vec, being hauled
over and into the caverns of the massive Predator,
Flagship. Taken to Volrath's dungeons, he was tormented
by the sinister Evincar. Volrath was trying to break down
Karn's mind to nothing but that of clouded with rage. . .
however. . his attempts were quite vain, as Karn still
refused to strike back or show any sign of rage. Later
on, Karn was rescued in an escape plan from Rath to
rejoin the crew of the Weatherlight.
During the battle plight to save the plane of
Dominaria, Karn thinks deeply within himself. At
the very end of the Planeshift events. . . words that
could change the face of battle field forever tumble
from his mouth. . .
"That's it! I know how we can save Dominaria!"
Hanna, Weatherlight Navigator
The reluctant daughter of the wizard Barrin, Hanna is
quite unlike her father, finding machines work quite
better than magic. She became a crewman aboard the
Skyship Weatherlight, navigator to Gerrard Capashen. Her
dedication to the ship was amazing, doing everything in her
power to protect, be it even at the cost of her own life.
At the return of the Legacy artifacts, she and Karn
became constant companions, their love for machines
always keeping them near to the Legacy like loving
parents to a child.
However, this was not to last for long. During the
initial invasion of Dominaria by Phyrexia, a Phyrexian
plague bomb was detonated before Hanna, infecting her
with the dreaded Phyrexian poison. To the dismay of the
healer Orim, even her best potions and spells were not
enough to save the maiden, and the fair Hanna of the
Weatherlight died.
During Gerrard and Urza's capture in the overlay and
in Phyrexia, Crovax evilly smirked and showed that
Yawgmoth contained Hanna's soul. . . he demonstrated by
bringing back the angel Selenia. She was no illusion as she touched the face of Gerrard.
He made a
sacrificial choice to revive Hanna from the dead.
Gerrard Capashen joined the foul Phyrexians he hated so
much in the fight to claim Dominaria as the Dark One's
own. . . hoping they would keep their word.
