Nashi is an orphaned Nezumi from Kamigawa. He was adopted by the planeswalker Tamiyo and her husband Genku after his village was destroyed, and now resides in Otawara.[1]
Description
Nashi is a young Nezumi artificer with bright white fur and gray spots.[2] With his Reckoner gang, he wears a black leather jacket with sharp cuts and silver rings along the edge of his ear.[3] During New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, he cobbled together motley metal armor and a homemade helmet from scraps.[4] A microchip at his temple allows him to control drones and other technology.[5]
A natural tinkerer, Nashi uses a modified form of his mother's story magic to access spells copied through surveillance footage.[5]
History
Nashi was born in a nezumi swamp village in rural Kamigawa.[6] The planeswalker Tezzeret and the Infinite Consortium had come to Kamigawa to acquire magical artifacts from the swamp near Nashi's village. When the nezumi refused to sell their land, Tezzeret sent his second-in-command Baltrice to assassinate the village's chief as only the chief's son would agree to a trade deal. Upon arriving, Baltrice found the chief's son had given them faulty intel and burned the village down in retaliation.[7] Nashi's parents died in the process and he was left heavily scarred by a fire elemental controlled by Baltrice. Afterward, Tezzeret was betrayed by his subordinates, who left him braindead in the burned village for the ratfolk to do with as they wished. The Nezumi kept Tezzeret until the day a dragon arrived and bargained for his body.[3]
Nashi's fur has since grown back but has turned white where his burns used to be, giving him a unique pattern among the nezumi. Nashi was subsequently sent to various houses which he refused as he felt his foster parents were trying to replace his dead parents. This changed when Tamiyo came to him and insisted he called her nothing but Tamiyo.
Though loving his new family, he often felt the runt and was frustrated due to not being able to fly like his Soratami siblings. However, he has learned how to cope with the grief and even make new friends through his interest in technology. When Ajani came to their house, Nashi was initially distrustful, but came to sympathize with the planeswalker and his loss of Elspeth Tirel.[1] He also finds great comfort in the stories his mother has collected around the Multiverse and would like nothing more than to see it for himself one day.
Neon Dynasty
Tracking Tezzeret, Kaito Shizuki inevitably tried to track Nashi for information. Tamiyo intercepted him and appealed to leave her son due to his trauma. Nashi was revealed to be interested in technology and was excited about Kaito's drone.[3]
With Tamiyo's capture by Tezzeret, Kaito felt obligated to inform Nashi and the rest of his family. The young nezumi vowed to find his mother, but unbeknownst to him Tamiyo had been compleated and considered New Phyrexia her new family.[8]
Phyrexian Invasion
Immediately before New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Nashi joined the Nezumi gangs to try to find his mother. He came across Tezzeret and attacked him, demanding to know where she was. The planeswalker easily subdued him and killed the other nezumi in his gang. Still, he let the injured boy live, telling him that his mother was alive and that he'd wish he had killed her.[2]
When Tamiyo was tasked by Elesh Norn to compleat Kamigawa, Nashi tried to reason with her. She refused and was felled by the Wanderer. However, a spiritual projection of her past self comforted Nashi and asked the Wanderer to take care of him.[4] In the aftermath of the invasion, he and Tamiyo's memory returned to her husband Genku.[9] Nashi later took up his mother's story circle, collecting new stories in her stead.[10]
Storyteller
In the wake of the Phyrexian Invasion, Omenpaths opened across the Multiverse, allowing Nashi to carry on his mother's mission by collecting stories from across the planes.[5] He started his travels on Thunder Junction, but his story magic was inhibited by the lingering trauma of witnessing his mother's death. He eventually heard about a magic-amplifying elixir concocted by the Slickshot Gang, one of the plane's criminal gangs. After doing some surveillance, Nashi decided to break into their headquarters and steal the elixir to strengthen his faltering magic. However, he was stopped in his tracks by Obeka, the gang's enforcer. After a short fight, she threw a punch enhanced by temporal magic that caused Nashi to relive his past experiences and escape while he was hallucinating. However, reliving the memories of his mother emboldened him to try again, channeling story magic through video footage instead of scrolls. He was much more proficient with this method and successfully stole the elixir.
Lost on Duskmourn
Nashi disappeared through an Omenpath, the only evidence of his whereabouts being a distorted recording of the plane of Duskmourn.[11]
