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]
