Kara Vrist was a neurok spy on Mirrodin.[1]

History

After the fall of Memnarch and The Vanishing, the Vedalken, and their brain trust known as the Synod, solidified their power over the Quicksilver Sea and its surrounding realms — leaving the Neurok as second-class citizens.[1] As the blinkmoth populations plummeted and serum became more precious, the Synod laid claim to all the serum on the plane. Without access to serum, some Neurok saw themselves destined to become a class of slaves. They began to form secret sects to undermine the Vedalken. These sects of assassins, thieves, and other rogues became known simply as "networks." The most powerful of the networks were the Covalt network (led by Vy Covalt) and the Vrist network (led by Kara Vrist). The networks became masters of pilfering and producing illegal serum, stealing from Vedalken archives, and even assassinating Synod members. The more clever networks also procured Vedalken Synod secrets and used the information for blackmail purposes.

After the creation of New Phyrexia, Kara became a spy for the faction of the Mirran Resistance that was led by the healer Melira.[2]

Kara was the only person to ever enter the Phyrexianized Lumengrid and survive to tell it without ever undergoing compleation.
