Arcades Sabboth was a mysterious figure from the Elder Dragon Wars. An Elder Dragon himself, Sabboth was one of the few victors of the war, along with his brothers, Nicol Bolas and Chromium Rhuell, the female Palladia-Mors, and his cousin Vaevictis Asmadi. He was presumably killed by Kristina, in her duel with Leshrac.

Controversy over Sabboth's death

There is a debate among storyline fans about when Arcades Sabboth died. Among the Elder Dragons that survived the War, only Nicol Bolas and Arcades Sabboth were Chromium's brothers. In prerevisionist sources, no other information on these two characters has been ever given, and it was argued that Leshrac would rather summon Bolas than Sabboth. However, in revisionist books we can learn that Nicol Bolas was alive at the time of the Summit on the Null Moon. Moreover, he is the only known Elder that became a planeswalker, so he could never be summoned by another. Thus, it is presumed that the Elder Dragon summoned by Leshrac and killed by Kristina is indeed Arcades Sabboth. The controversy stems from the conversation held in the picture:

Faralyn, Ravidel, Kristina, Leshrac and Chromium Rhuell at the Summit of the Null Moon.


There is no question as to his ultimate fate though, as Bolas himself has claimed that no other survivors of the Elder Dragon War still exist.
