Eskil (ESS-kill) was the great-great-grandson of Archmage Xarl Angel-Keeper and Eska from Golthonor on Dominaria.
History
Eskil was born in the barony of Boite during the Enslavement of Trine and became the adopted son of Xarl, the wizard that corrupted the angel Trine. Eskil's real father was Elazar, who became a Duke upon giving his son up to Xarl.[1]
The Absolution of Trine happened after Eskil summoned the Serra Angel Rahel to fight Trine and free northern Corondor. When Trine's blood splashed him, Eskil was blinded, his skin and hair were bleached white, and he ascended as a planeswalker. He thereafter was called "Eskil the White". Later, Eskil became the guardian of the White Woods.
As one of the most benevolent planeswalkers on Dominaria, he saved the children of Corondor during the Blackblade–Dihada War. He settled in and became the guardian of the White Woods, where he was Mangara's mentor.[2]
