Kirlen was an old wizard and the master of the House of Bolk in the city of Estark, in Kush, on Dominaria.

Description

By 4069 AR, Kirlen was slender, bent over with age, hair gone from white to a sickly yellow. Her wrinkled skin hung loose on her toothless face. She wore a black robe and clung to a staff.[1]

History

Obsessed with immortality, Kirlen rejuvenated herself for centuries.[1] Before his ascension, Kuthuman and Kirlen were lovers. She discovered a spell that would ignite one's planeswalker spark, but she did not have enough mana to cast it. Kuthuman convinced her to give him this spell and promised to find enough mana for them both. After destroying the House of Oor-tael, he became a god-like being and forgot about his promise. Feeling betrayed, Kirlen stopped keeping herself young and as a result began to age very quickly.

When the Grand Master of the Arena, Zarel, decided to storm her house to steal the spell of planeswalking, she managed to reach her private quarters and teleport awat, covering the room in ice and escaping the fall of House Bolk.[2]
