Arcum Dagsson was a researcher in the Kjeldoran city of Soldev during the Ice Age.

Description

Arcum Daggson was a diminutive, immaculate man, his prematurely grayish hair swept back at the temples to reveal a prominent, bony brow. His eyes were bright and continually darting about, taking everything in. He was dressed in heavy red-hued robes that clung tightly around him. At other times, he was also known to wear blue robes.

History

He and the other Soldevi machinists studied ancient artifacts, particularly those from the Brothers' War, and used their designs to create their versions. He intended to use the artifacts to aid Soldev and Kjeldor, but the excavated Phyrexian War Beasts, as well as his own Soldevi Steam Beasts, went out of control due to the meddling of the Soldevi Adnates and destroyed the city. Following this catastrophe, Dagsson devoted his life to making amends for the damage he had caused and played a significant role in stopping Heidar's Ice Phyrexians and warning Kjeldor about them. He died of a heart attack not long after.
