Vaevictis Asmadi[1] was a big, ugly and aggressive Elder Dragon. He had a characteristic fierce crest.

History

Youth

Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire

Vaevictis was birthed in the second egg-fall by the Ur-Dragon on an unnamed plane.[2] with his marauding sibling gang, he furiously guarded a territory they claimed for their own hunting grounds.[3] Because the humans in their territory evolved into dragon hunters, after several years only three of Vaevictis' siblings were still alive: Rubra, Ravus and Lividus. At least four descendants had been killed, their skulls decorating the houses of the humans.[4]

Elder Dragon War

The Elder Dragon War started when seven descendants of Vaevictis raided the lands of Nicol Bolas.[5] After defeating them with his army, using tactics previously employed by his dragon hunter subjects, Bolas was confronted by Vaevictis and his three siblings. Although Rubra was killed by a poisoned arrow, Bolas' army suffered a shattering defeat and had to retreat in the mountains. There, they were again confronted by Ravus and Lividus. Now, the sorcerers of Bolas' army managed to kill Ravus. Bolas himself overpowered Lividus' mind and turned him against Vaevictis. This was enough to escape.

Vaevictis survived the Elder Dragon War along with his cousins Palladia-Mors, Chromium Rhuell, Nicol Bolas, Ugin and Arcades Sabboth.[6]

Faralyn's spell

Much later Vaevictus Asmadi was transformed into a dragon whelp by the planeswalker Faralyn. He then found a human called Red Donald whose control he pretended to be under. He was actually manipulating the man to get to Mors Ridge, and to start digging canals in order to undo the tickery magic that held Palladia-Mors there under a sleep spell. When his cousin was released, Vaevictus convinced her to return him to his previous state as an elder dragon after retrieving a black mana battery for her.

Death

He then fought Chromium Rhuell, who had been the one to put the sleep spell on Palladia-Mors. It took a while, but Chromium managed to get him to understand that Palladia-Mors wanted to use Vaevictus to kill Chromium, leaving him in a weakened state himself to be easily killed later. So he attacked Palladia-Mors, In the fight Palladia-Mors reversed one of his spells, and he disappeared into nowhere.[7]

  7. It is possible that Vaevictus survived the duel, but there is no conclusive evidence, which may mean his cousin killed him in this duel. It is very likely he died as a result of the fight, as Bolas has stated that none of his peers still existed.
