Atraxa is a legendary phyrexian angel horror from New Phyrexia. She is called The Grand Unifier by other Phyrexians.[1]
History
Once a Mirran angel who opposed Phyrexia's corruption, Atraxa was captured while single-handedly protecting a Mirran retreat. The praetor Elesh Norn honored the angel's tenacity with the blessed gift of Phyrexian compleation, and invited other praetors to contribute. While Urabrask declined, Jin-Gitaxias, Sheoldred, and Vorinclex all agreed to join Elesh Norn's efforts, and Atraxa was born, as an awe-inspiring testament to Phyrexia's singular purpose. She now serves as Norn's most loyal general and looks forward to her part in the indoctrination of the rest of the Multiverse.[2]
Atraxa marks the final victory in the Phyrexian conquest of Mirrodin.[3] While Norn focused on tending the Invasion Tree, Atraxa was charged with unifying the plane in her stead.[4] To accomplish this, she would go on to make more Phyrexian Angels in her own visage, one of whom was Ixhel.[1] Later, Atraxa was sent by Elesh Norn to conquer Capenna and its reserves of Halo.
Planes visited
During the New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Atraxa and other Phyrexians are able to travel across the planes via the Realmbreaker.
