'''Krenko''' is a [[guildless]] [[goblin]] [[warrior]] who lives on the plane of [[Ravnica]].


'''Krenko''' is a [[goblin]] warrior who lives on the plane of [[Ravnica]].
==Description==
He lives doing job requests as a mercenary for businessmen, usually undercover and hidden operations.
Krenko is an independent goblin mob boss with a faintly nasal voice.<ref name="Explosions"/> He makes a living doing job requests as a mercenary for businessmen, usually undercover, hidden, and questionably legal operations. Most of the proceeds he earns go back into his group, showing surprising compassion for the plight of his fellow goblin — so long as he gets first cut, of course. Though Krenko shows a great deal of savvy for planning, at his heart he is a goblin of action.


In one of these job requests, he meet a man named Mr. Taz who offered him several job offers.
==History==
One of these offers from Mr. Taz involved Krenko in the explosion of an [[Azorius_Senate|Azorius]] statue and the use of flaming [[saprolings]]. Despite the obvious danger, Krenko likes working for Mr. Taz and what he calls his "delicious jobs".He can be described as an action lover. He also appreciates, as a young goblin starting in this business, having a well-connected "patron" like him.
===Working for Mr. Taz===
[[File:Krenko.jpg|thumb]]
Amongst his many clientele, Krenko has developed something of a patron who continually offers him jobs with very high rewards. [[Lazav|Mr. Taz]] has paid the goblin well for his various endeavors and is always quick to offer him more work. Some of these jobs include the explosive destruction of an [[Azorius Senate|Azorius]] statue and the use of flaming [[saproling]]s. Despite the obvious danger, Krenko likes working for Mr. Taz and what he calls his "delicious jobs". As a young goblin starting in this business, he also appreciates having a well-connected "patron" like him.


Later, he accepted a job that involved an incursion in the [[Boros Legion]]'s guildhall to retrieve a requested item for Mr. Taz. Upon accepting the job, Mr. Taz slid a velvet bag across the table, and hand in a tool for Krenko's job. Light escaped through the seams. Krenko looked inside the bag and found a glowing shiv inside.
Later, he accepted a job that involved an incursion in the [[Boros Legion]]'s guildhall to retrieve a requested item for Mr. Taz. Upon accepting the job, Mr. Taz gave Krenko a tool specially made for that job. Light escaped through the seams of the velvet bag and when Krenko looked inside the bag he found a glowing shiv.


With Taz's enchanted shiv tucked in his boot, Krenko began his surveillance on [[Sunhome]]. After an hour on a rooftop with a spyglass, Krenko was hot and bored, and had learned little new.
With Taz's enchanted shiv tucked in his boot, Krenko began his surveillance of [[Sunhome]]. After several days, Krenko understood that Sunhome was teetering on the edge of violence and that all it needed was just a little push. He provided that push and used the ensuing chaos to cover his actions as he made his way to the top floor and entered the chambers of the contested guildmaster [[Vinrenn]].
The next morning, Krenko swaggered into Sunhome's mess hall like he owned the place. At the cavernous hall, there was a thousand soldiers at feeding time. He sat at the end of a bench and started listening the conversation of the soldiers.


There, was a woman with a bandage in her forehead was discussing to a black-haired man.  
Krenko found himself in an empty room under an open skylight. Harsh sunlight shone down on a glassy detention sphere, which hovered above the blood-red fist emblazoned on the tile floor. A white-winged [[angel]] hung in magical stasis inside the cell. He broke the sphere, sending the angel tumbling unceremoniously to the floor. When he heard footsteps approaching in the corridor, Krenko quickly plucked two feathers from the angel's wings just as she began to stir and he called for help, saying the angel tried to escape. Suddenly the guards entered the room and subdued her while Krenko escaped. Aurelia was summoned shortly thereafter, but by that time Krenko had long since fled.


-"It's come down to a duel," he informed the woman seated across the table. She had a bandage on her forehead.
At sunset, Krenko met Mr. Taz on an aerial platform. As a reward for a job well done, Mr. Taz offered the goblin yet another job, explaining that there was an [[Orzhov]] safebox that held his payment, and so long as he was in the bank, he should pick up another item for Taz. The goblin accepted the job, but the pair discovered getting in would be a much more daunting prospect than they had intended. At that moment though, an [[Izzet]] experiment unintentionally opened a portal nearby. Once the frustrated Izzet mage stomped back to wherever he had come from, the pair eagerly anticipated using the stroke of good luck however they saw fit.


-"Who drew the line? [[Aurelia]]?" she asked. She kept her voice low like she didn't want to be easily heard. But the man spoke louder than necessary.
===In and out of prison===
When a goblin gang war erupted on the streets, Krenko killed Dargig, the youngest of the [[Shattergang Brothers]]. When he was arrested by [[Gideon Jura]], he managed to injure the planeswalker with his magic shiv.<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/limits-2015-07-15|Limits|[[Ari Levitch]]|July 15, 2015}}</ref> This shiv was confiscated after the arrest and reportedly could punch through force barriers.

-"No, the nosy Azorius found it in the fine print," he said.
Inciting a riot in Sawtooth Prison secured Krenko a transfer to Udzec, a maximum security facility administered by the [[Azorius Senate]]. During the transfer, agents of a former associate created a distraction, and he was able to slip away to rendezvous with his gang.<ref name="krenkos-way" /> He now plots his next move as he reestablishes power over his criminal enterprise.


-"I find that hard to believe," the woman said doubtfully. "Aurelia let it stand?"
===War of the Spark===
During [[Nicol Bolas]]'s [[War of the Spark/Event|invasion of Ravnica]], Krenko and the other goblins stole treasures after the people of Ravnica had evacuated but before Bolas's army had arrived at a location.


-"Why shouldn't she?" the man practically shouted. "She could crush [[Vinrenn]] in a heartbeat."
===Phyrexian Invasion and its aftermath===
Krenko fought in defense of Ravnica during [[New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse]], though he also found ways to profit from the conflict.<ref name="MKM Clues"/> Similar to his actions in the War of the Spark, he sent his followers to ransack buildings behind Phyrexian lines, hoarded the supplies, and resold them for a premium.<ref name="Beauty">{{DailyRef|magic-story/episode-9-beauty-in-destruction|Episode 9: Beauty in Destruction|[[Seanan McGuire]]|January 17, 2024}}</ref>


-"Shut your mouth, grunt!" someone shouted and a fistfight erupted between the tables.
Now sitting comfortably on a foundation of wealth with his criminal enterprise fully rebuilt, he has set his sights on his next goal: joining the ranks of Ravnica's monied elites.<ref name="MKM Legends">{{DailyRef|feature/the-legends-and-characters-of-murders-at-karlov-manor|The Legends (and characters) of Murders at Karlov Manor|[[Emily Teng]]|February 6, 2024}}</ref> He's become a notorious fixture of upper-crust parties, where he determinedly networks with Ravnica's aristocracy. His eventual goal is to one day elevate the rest of his gang of goblins, creating a new stratum of goblin aristocracy that no one will be able to push around.


Krenko picked upt his plate and headed the other end of the hall. He was kind of annoyed because that kind of undiscipline wasn't what he remembered from boros effciency and righteous justice.
===Murders at Karlov Manor===
A year and some months after the invasion, [[Teysa Karlov]] threw a large party and invited members of all the guilds to ease political tensions in the city.<ref name="Ghosts">{{DailyRef|magic-story/episode-1-ghosts-of-our-past|''Murders at Karlov Manor'' - Episode 1: Ghosts of Our Past|[[Seanan McGuire]]|December 5, 2023}}</ref> Krenko acquired an invitation and snuck in to attempt networking, which did not go unnoticed by the party's host, to whom he owed a debt.


The next day, he returned looking for trouble. Krenko joined a goblin maintenance crew on one of the gigantic balconies that jutted from the blocky edifice and asked him where he could find [[Feather]] to take a look at her. The goblin told him that she says you must call her Guildmaster Vinrenn now, and that she was on the top floor. He also told Krenko that Aurelia is going to be the new Boros master, and that she also said that "no disgraced angel's got the right to rule". The goblin also told him that Aurelia was not planning to kill Vinrenn if she makes no trouble, just banish her.
After the murder of [[Zegana]] later that night, and Teysa herself a few days later, Krenko became paranoid that whoever had planned the murders would come for him next.<ref name="Explosions">{{DailyRef|magic-story/episode-6-explosions-of-genius|''Murders at Karlov Manor'' - Episode 6: Explosions of Genius|[[Seanan McGuire]]|January 12, 2024}}</ref> He attempted to make a deal with [[Kylox]] for information, but was turned down.

Krenko helped Etrata subdue the man, who Proft determined had been brainwashed.

Krenko found himself in an empty room under an open skylight. Harsh sunlight shone down on a glassy detention sphere, which hovered above the blood-red fist emblazoned on the tile floor. A white-winged [[angel]] was in magical stasis inside the cell. Her wings tucked around herself like a little bird, she appeared to be sleeping.

He stabbed the misty sphere but nothing happened. Then he noticed a solid near the top and slammed the shiv's handle against the solid invisible piece of the sphere. A sucking sound and blue lighting zinged across the room. With another good smash, the sphere dissipated, sending the angel tumbling unceremoniously to the floor. He heard footsteps approaching in the corridor, so Krenko quickly plucked two feathers from the angel's wings just as she began to stir and called for help, saying the angel tried to escape, that she is free and tried to attack him. Suddenly the guards entered the room while Krenko escaped. While he was scampering from the action zone, he saw an armored [[Minotaur#Ordruun_Minotaurs|minotaur]] dragging the angel by her feet unhearing her protests.

At sunset, Krenko meet Mr. Taz in an exclusive and coveted aerial platform of [[Ravnica]]. Mr. Taz was exceptionally pleased with Krenko's job and said the payment was being delivered to the establishment they previously had agreed.

Mr. Taz explained that there is an Orzhov safebox, and the key is all he needed to retrieve the money. Krenko asked whose money was and Taz said it was Feather's money, her salary earned as a [[Wojek]]. And that she won't need it anymore. He also told Krenko to consider it a bonus payment, for a job well done. He pocketed the key while Mr. Taz asked him if he could picku up something for him while he was in the Orzhova.

Krenko is a guildless goblin warrior who lives on the plane of Ravnica.

Description

Krenko is an independent goblin mob boss with a faintly nasal voice.[1] He makes a living doing job requests as a mercenary for businessmen, usually undercover, hidden, and questionably legal operations. Most of the proceeds he earns go back into his group, showing surprising compassion for the plight of his fellow goblin — so long as he gets first cut, of course. Though Krenko shows a great deal of savvy for planning, at his heart he is a goblin of action.

History

Working for Mr. Taz

Amongst his many clientele, Krenko has developed something of a patron who continually offers him jobs with very high rewards. Mr. Taz has paid the goblin well for his various endeavors and is always quick to offer him more work. Some of these jobs include the explosive destruction of an Azorius statue and the use of flaming saprolings. Despite the obvious danger, Krenko likes working for Mr. Taz and what he calls his "delicious jobs". As a young goblin starting in this business, he also appreciates having a well-connected "patron" like him.

Later, he accepted a job that involved an incursion in the Boros Legion's guildhall to retrieve a requested item for Mr. Taz. Upon accepting the job, Mr. Taz gave Krenko a tool specially made for that job. Light escaped through the seams of the velvet bag and when Krenko looked inside the bag he found a glowing shiv.

With Taz's enchanted shiv tucked in his boot, Krenko began his surveillance of Sunhome. After several days, Krenko understood that Sunhome was teetering on the edge of violence and that all it needed was just a little push. He provided that push and used the ensuing chaos to cover his actions as he made his way to the top floor and entered the chambers of the contested guildmaster Vinrenn.

Krenko found himself in an empty room under an open skylight. Harsh sunlight shone down on a glassy detention sphere, which hovered above the blood-red fist emblazoned on the tile floor. A white-winged angel hung in magical stasis inside the cell. He broke the sphere, sending the angel tumbling unceremoniously to the floor. When he heard footsteps approaching in the corridor, Krenko quickly plucked two feathers from the angel's wings just as she began to stir and he called for help, saying the angel tried to escape. Suddenly the guards entered the room and subdued her while Krenko escaped. Aurelia was summoned shortly thereafter, but by that time Krenko had long since fled.

At sunset, Krenko met Mr. Taz on an aerial platform. As a reward for a job well done, Mr. Taz offered the goblin yet another job, explaining that there was an Orzhov safebox that held his payment, and so long as he was in the bank, he should pick up another item for Taz. The goblin accepted the job, but the pair discovered getting in would be a much more daunting prospect than they had intended. At that moment though, an Izzet experiment unintentionally opened a portal nearby. Once the frustrated Izzet mage stomped back to wherever he had come from, the pair eagerly anticipated using the stroke of good luck however they saw fit.

In and out of prison

When a goblin gang war erupted on the streets, Krenko killed Dargig, the youngest of the Shattergang Brothers. When he was arrested by Gideon Jura, he managed to injure the planeswalker with his magic shiv.[2] This shiv was confiscated after the arrest and reportedly could punch through force barriers. Krenko would love to get his mitts on it again someday.[3]

Inciting a riot in Sawtooth Prison secured Krenko a transfer to Udzec, a maximum security facility administered by the Azorius Senate. During the transfer, agents of a former associate created a distraction, and he was able to slip away to rendezvous with his gang.[3] He now plots his next move as he reestablishes power over his criminal enterprise.

War of the Spark

During Nicol Bolas's invasion of Ravnica, Krenko and the other goblins stole treasures after the people of Ravnica had evacuated but before Bolas's army had arrived at a location.

Phyrexian Invasion and its aftermath

Krenko fought in defense of Ravnica during New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, though he also found ways to profit from the conflict.[4] Similar to his actions in the War of the Spark, he sent his followers to ransack buildings behind Phyrexian lines, hoarded the supplies, and resold them for a premium.[5]

Now sitting comfortably on a foundation of wealth with his criminal enterprise fully rebuilt, he has set his sights on his next goal: joining the ranks of Ravnica's monied elites.[6] He's become a notorious fixture of upper-crust parties, where he determinedly networks with Ravnica's aristocracy. His eventual goal is to one day elevate the rest of his gang of goblins, creating a new stratum of goblin aristocracy that no one will be able to push around.

Murders at Karlov Manor

A year and some months after the invasion, Teysa Karlov threw a large party and invited members of all the guilds to ease political tensions in the city.[7] Krenko acquired an invitation and snuck in to attempt networking, which did not go unnoticed by the party's host, to whom he owed a debt.

After the murder of Zegana later that night, and Teysa herself a few days later, Krenko became paranoid that whoever had planned the murders would come for him next.[1] He attempted to make a deal with Kylox for information, but was turned down. He then kidnapped the scientist, but this plan was thwarted by Alquist Proft and Etrata, who had been relying on Kylox for information as well. Seconds later, Krenko's fears were validated as a Ravnican citizen burst through the window with a dagger and tried to kill Krenko, accidentally killing Kylox first. Krenko helped Etrata subdue the man, who Proft determined had been brainwashed. Krenko was later invited to Vitu-Ghazi by Proft to learn the truth of the murders, where the detective revealed that Oba, the central dryad of Trostani, had organized them in retribution for those she considered traitors to the plane during the Invasion.[8] The mob boss was targeted because he profited from the Invasion.[4] When Oba attacked the guild leaders, Krenko was captured, but was freed after Kaya and Etrata defeated her.[9] He was later arrested by Aurelia, who hoped to find a way to charge him for his crimes during the Invasion.
