Kolo Meha was a pyromancer of tremendous power from Dominaria, with a good, if slightly destructive, sense of humor.[2] He had reached the level of sixth-circle mage (out of ten) in his native Bogardan. To advance beyond that he had to make a pilgrimage, a journey around the world to learn how to use his powers in places that were not as vibrant with red mana as Bogardan was.
Description
Kolo Meha was a short, broad-shouldered grunt with a big belly and a huge tangle of coarse, curly black hair. He had light brown skin, a wide, broad forehead, and a wide flat face. His nose was also flattened and spread across his face, and his huge square teeth flashed when he spoke. His eyes were amber, with tiny red and yellow flecks. His two reddish-gold wristbands matched a braided rope of cloth tied across his chest. The kentsu falcon standard was tattooed on his naked shoulder, and tribal tattoos covered the exposed flesh on his arms, legs, and throat. While he was a member of the kentsu, he wore a kentsu helmet and a simple peasant's costume. Afterward, he wore only a simple red-and-yellow wrap around his waist.[3][4] He was a sixth- circle Bogardan master.[5][5]
History
Meha joined a Keldon warhost, who saw the Bogardan native as something they aspired to be and followed them on their global campaigns. But, when the warhost met the Kentsu, the Keldons sold Meha to Marhault Elsdragon to avoid a battle. The Bogardan decided to just join the Kentsu as their demolition expert from now on, as that would be a good way to complete his pilgrimage as well.
During Madara-Edemi War, when the Kentsu was sent to fight the Edemi Islands, Meha was under the command of Jorgan Hage. Meha created a chasm to defend the Kentsu from attacking Kushoans but was nearly killed for his action by Hage who had wanted the battle. When Hage later killed General Elsdragon and took his place, Meha left the Kentsu, for he couldn't work under Hage. He then followed Tetsuo Umezawa, whom he had met during his time in the Kentsu. Tetsuo was planning to attack emperor Nicol Bolas, and Meha thought helping him would be the perfect way to fulfill his pilgrimage.
The two of them laid low for a while, during which Tetsuo trained him in the Tsunami-nito school, and Meha befriended the cat-dragon Wasitora (He knew exactly where he had to scratch her neck to gain her trust). Then Tetsuo sent him to the keep of Ramses Overdark, the imperial regent's mansion. There, he defeated the efreet Zalgadib, and destroyed the keep itself, using seventh-circle magic.
His pilgrimage was completed, but Meha decided to stay with Tetsuo and help him restore order to the Empire of Madara, hoping he could gain more control over his abilities in the process.
