Rona is a human artificer from Dominaria and follower of Gix.[1]

Description

Rona is a young woman with platinum-brown skin and dark umber curls who wears the cloak of the Tolarian Academy. She has a mechanical eye featuring a miniaturized ray cannon. She carries a glaive and has other Phyrexianized enhancements, including a device in her leg.[2]

History

Rona has trained in the Tolarian traditions of magical study, but as a member of the Society of Mishra she has strayed from those traditions in her pursuit of forbidden Phyrexian lore. She has used her biomechanical magic to replace one eye and make a few other modifications to her body in pursuit of improving and transcending her merely human form. In her studies, she draws inspiration from Gix, an ancient Thran rebel who became a Phyrexian Demon, "compleated" and perfected by augmenting his body with metal. [3]

As an acolyte of Gix, Rona led a series of clandestine excavations deep in the Caves of Koilos, searching for buried Phyrexian technology — and discovered the charred, but still living, form of the Phyrexian praetor Sheoldred. Rona led the operation to restore Sheoldred's flesh, and was her second-in-command in staging the Second Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria.[2] She bested Karn in a direct confrontation, and piloted a dragon engine from the ruins of Kroog in an attack on the elves of Yavimaya.[4]
