Politus

Politus was the leader of the vedalken on Mirrodin before the Phyrexian takeover of the plane.
==Description==
At the time of the siege of Mirrodin, Politus was the leader of the vedalken, a race known for its understated manner of communication. His role as a leader shows a commanding presence among his peers. His personality was pragmatic and strategic, demonstrated by his decision to offer control of Research Spire Eleven to any mage powerful enough to reclaim it from the Phyrexians. This indicates a leader who valued strength and capability, and who was willing to use incentives to motivate his subordinates in dire situations.
According to Unctus, Politus is described as a fool and is involved with someone named Covalt, who is associated with lies and deceit.
Even before his exposure to the glistening oil, Unctus suggests that Politus might be entangled in corrupt or dishonest activities. Unctus criticized Politus for being preoccupied with "coddling the Neurok" and not paying attention to the changes happening in their world. Unctus felt that Politus would use any information he wrote against him to ruin his reputation and leave him vulnerable to Covalt and his Neurok followers.On the Mirrodin Site: Unctus of the Synod
==History==
In response to the escalating threat, Politus sought volunteers to reclaim Research Spire Eleven. He promised ownership and control of the spire to the successful mage. Trennet, an ambitious vedalken mage, volunteered for the mission, driven by his desire to advance his mystical research and gain the promised rewards. Trennet then discovered he had a human competitor, Sarja, a Neurok woman, which immediately sparked a rivalry. Politus officially started the contest, sending Trennet and Sarja on their mission to reclaim the spire.A Tale of Two Clone Shells
It is unknown if Politus survived the Phyrexian takeover of Mirrodin.
