Elas il-Kor is a Phyrexianized Kor woman from Dominaria.[1]

Description

Elas's skin is the same chalky white most common among the Kor. She has no hair, neither atop her head nor around her eyes, which weep constant streams of viscous black liquid[2]. More of the liquid drips from her left hand, seemingly seeping from her skin, and things that look like tubes extended from her back, vanishing under her clothes. Her voice belongs to a construct, not a living thing, filled with echoes and horrible harmonics.

Regarding herself, she says "I am One, but I am also distinct, for the sake of what must be done."[1]

History

An outcast from her people, Elas il-Kor was exploring an ancient Rathi ruin when she discovered an urn of glistening oil deep in one of the subterranean tombs. One touch and she was assailed with visions of the arrival of the Phyrexian Praetor Sheoldred. With the whispers of her new master in her ear and the corruption of the oil surging through her, Elas sought out Sheoldred and pledged loyalty everlasting.[3]

Seeking the power of the spirit of Lim-Dûl, Elas and several Phyrexian horrors attacked the planeswalker Liliana Vess on the grounds of Vess Manor. Liliana had to use her maximum power to defeat them, but Elas managed to escape.[1]
