lore:"Kamiz"

The cephalid Kamiz is the former Obscura spymaster in New Capenna.

Description

Kamiz served as Raffine's right hand and Queza's mentor. Nothing goes on in the city without her knowing it, and nothing is published in the papers without her supplying the rumors.[1] She's got every citizen in her back pocket, and they don't even know her name.

The bioluminescent markings around her eyes pulse blue-green. She wears a navy trench coat embellished with gold, a throat amulet to report visions, and a rune in her ear to receive updates. She warded the Cloud Spire, Raffine's headquarters.

History

Kamiz started off trying to be a journalist, until she found out every paper was printing complete bunk at the command of whichever clients had the deepest pockets.[2] Always the bookish type, she never took to reporting anyway. The interview subjects always gave her funny looks, what with those glowing blue eyes of hers. She was downright sick of the stares.

So she signed up with the Obscura with the promise that she could do her job out of sight from prying eyes. On her very first assignment, she got her spies to blackmail a corrupt politician into stepping down from office. Worked her way up the organization quickly after that. Shot right to the top after she invented a spell that let her see through walls. Not long after, she ran the whole Obscura network, gathering information from the sewers to the skyscrapers.[3]

Siding with the Adversary in his revolt against the families, she was wounded by Jinnie Fay after attempting an ambush following the Crescendo attack.[4]

During New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Kamiz was part of the resistance.[5]
