Liliana Vess
Liliana Vess is a human planeswalker who is adept at using spells of black mana, especially necromancy. She's charismatic, witty, and attractive, but she makes certain to always look out for herself first. Though she appears to be in her 20s, she actually much older. Long ago she made a deal with four demons (one of which she has referred to as 'Kothophed') to secure her youth and power. Recently the consciousness of the demonic pact has slowly started to trouble her, and as she tries to figure out ways how to avoid the consequences of dealing with demons, her inner turmoil rises.
The Hunter and the Veil
While searching for a powerful artifact in the shape of a veil from a temple in a yet-undisclosed plane, she met and defeated Garruk.
Agents of Artifice
In the novel Agents of Artifice, she is featured as a resident of Ravnica and acquaintance of Jace Beleren, whom she ultimately betrays, forcing him to fight Tezzeret. Later on, it is revealed her actions were guided by Nicol Bolas, for whom she works.
Origins
Although her origins are still uncertain, Brady Dommermuth has revealed the following information about her:
| “ | Liliana was indeed born long before The Mending, and her planeswalker spark ignited before the Mending, also. Her deal with demons was made afterward, in an attempt to secure more power and longevity for herself. | ” |
