Mazirek

Mazirek was a Golgari death priest from Ravnica. He was a large, dark green (almost black), Kraul, and the effective leader of that race.Django Wexler (September 11, 2019), The Gathering Storm, Chapter Fourteen.Django Wexler (September 25, 2019), The Gathering Storm, Chapter Sixteen.
==History==
Mazirek's ambition and the encouragement by his friend Vraska brought the long-maligned Kraul to the forefront as a force to be reckoned with in the Swarm. His arcane clicks and buzzing could summon crippling necromantic magic, and the mere presence of death seemed to fortify him. He drew power from the demise of his enemies and channeled it to his followers.James Wyatt (January 2019). "The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Ravnica". Wizards of the Coast Using the life force of Sobeslav and his guard retinue, Mazirek raised the Erstwhile, and helped Vraska to overthrow the reign of Jarad vod Savo.Django Wexler (June, 2019), The Gathering Storm Chapter Two. 
In the run-up to the War of the Spark, Mazirek was revealed by Vraska to have been a pawn of Bolas.Django Wexler (October 23, 2019), The Gathering Storm, Chapter Twenty, Del Rey. As Mazirek was the one who had awakened the Erstwhile, none of them - even free-willed liches like Storrev - could disobey a direct order or refuse a question from him. However, when Mazirek turned on Vraska, Storrev misled him and had him killed by a Rakdos Comedy Troupe for enslaving the Erstwhile, and for betraying the Swarm.
