Jeska

Template:Character Jeska was an Otarian barbarian along with her brother, Kamahl. Due to the happennings in her life she was called Thrice Touched by Infinity.

Barbarian

She lived with her family in Balthor Rockfist's tribe until Kamahl left to seek his fortunes in Cabal City. Later, Jeska and Balthor followed Kamahl's footsteps, but she was hurt while Kamahl was under the influence of the Mirari. She was left in the care of the centaur Seton, but captured by Braids and brought to the Cabal Patriarch.

Phage

The Patriarch's attempt to kill her instead corrupted her, turning her into Phage. Phage fought loyally for the Patriarch, and due to the unique nature of their relationship, bore him a child. This child turned out to be the reincarnation of the numena Kuberr.

Phage left the Cabal and joined Zagorka in Topos, where she was tracked down by Akroma for killing Ixidor. Kamahl killed Akroma, Phage, and Zagorka in one strike, inadvertently creating Karona.

Planeswalker

Later, when Sash and Waistcoat killed Karona, the three women separated; Zagorka and Akroma were dead, but Jeska's latent planeswalker's spark flared, and she ascended. It transpired that her dormant spark was what saved her from the Mirari Sword, and visited many world of the Multiverse under Karn's guidance.

Centutries later Jeska appeared on Dominaria again while searching for Karn. She demanded to learn about Karn's fate from Teferi and his company. When she realized the gravity of the situation, she decided to help, but upon her own terms.

She was visited by planeswalker Leshrac Nightwalker, who offered her an artifact of power, the Mask of Night's Reach, to help her in her mission. She refused, but unknowingly fell under mental control of the insidious Leshrac, who planned to use her latent Phage powers to defeat Nicol Bolas.

She went to Keld, where she defeated and took Radha to use her as a mana lens for closing the rifts without the need to sacrifice herself. In Zhalfir, she close the local rift without consulting Teferi, causing the irrevocable loss of the phased-out lands.

Then she took Radha to Yavimaya to close the rift there. Multani tried to approach her mind and change her aggressive thoughts, but an intervention from Leshrac's side (dreadful visions of brute and bloodthirsty Kamahl killing his Krosan allies) caused Jeska to break the connection and immolate Multani's physical form. Moments later, she used Radha and Multani's power to close the Yavimayan rift, seemingly annihilating Multani's essence in the process.

Then she proceeded to Madara. Here, Leshrac ambushed her and using the Mask, he stripped her of her Phage powers and ordered her to battle Bolas. Jeska refused, and Leshrac encased her in stone. When Leshrac was defeated by Bolas and his essence spent to close the Madaran rift, the dragon freed Jeska, but assured her that the Otarian rift could not be closed, being too powerful and too complex.

Jeska, prepared to face the final challenge. The last rift covered the whole of Otaria, and was tied to her personality - it was a direct result of Karona's birth and death.

Venser and Radha assured her that they would stand by her and help her to face her nemesis. Jeska and the two planeswalkers teleported into the heart of the rift. Here, Jeska faced an image of Karona, the embodiment of the rift. Drawing power from the willing friends, she charged the image of the goddess and shattered it. She spread her planeswalker essence over the rift and further, over all the rifts and fissures of the multiverse connected to it. In one huge discharge of her ultimate power, she closed them all, allowing the Great Mending to begin.

Immediately after her sacrifice, Jeska appeared in a white void, where she was welcomed by her long dead beloved brother Kamahl. With the two siblings finally reunited, Jeska's mind happily welcomed the oblivion.
