Thrun is a troll who protected the outcast Melira during the Mirrans' fight for Mirrodin against the Phyrexians. Now, he is the historian and storyteller of the Mirran resistance, and he pledges to protect the memories of Mirrodin and pass them from generation to generation.[1]

History

Like all the trolls of Mirrodin, Thrun is a wise and knowledgeable creature. He is among the last surviving Mirrans who know of the heroic victory of Glissa Sunseeker over the tyrannical rule of Memnarch, and the only troll left after The Vanishing.[2] Even before the Phyrexian compleation, he was already aware of the inevitable corruption of the plane, and yet he never spoke of it to anyone, a decision that he would later regret. Thrun decided to wallow in his sadness, alone, until he discovered an infant in the jungle whom he later called Melira. He then learned that she and her unique ability may be the key to the plane's survival.

He helped Kaya Cassir and Elspeth Tirel reach the Furnace Layer after the planeswalkers arrived in New Phyrexia to destroy the Realmbreaker.[3] At the end of New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Thrun was one of fewer than twenty surviving Mirrans able to escape and settle on Zhalfir.[4]

Planes visited

After the New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Thrun was able to relocate alongside the surviving Mirrans to Zhalfir.
