Mazena is a charismatic Selesnyan Dryad on the plane of Ravnica, and is one of Trostani's most trusted advisors. She emanates an aura of power and self-assurance. While Ruzi was a member of the guild, Mazena had a strained relationship with him, and she felt he spent too much time training recruits and not enough time promoting the ideals of the Conclave. Ruzi in turn thought of Mazena as particularly conniving, and silently named her Mazena the Manipulative.

History

In the week that would be the last of Ruzi's membership in her guild, Mazena was sent by Trostani to give the wolf rider orders to go out to the Rubblebelt to find his sister Cecilee. Ruzi initially ignored her for a long time, hoping she would leave, increasing her irritation. After a tense discussion on politics and philosophy, Mazena told Ruzi that he was to leave the Conclave grounds and seek out his sister because Trostani had sensed trouble coming to her vernadi. Ruzi disliked Mazena giving him orders, but he would do anything for Cecilee even if he had not seen her for some time, so he acquiesced in the end, as Mazena knew he would.

After Ruzi's quest to the Rubblebelt and his sister's death, the wolf rider left the Conclave behind and went rogue. For this, he was branded a traitor and an outcast by the Conclave. For his part, Ruzi swore revenge upon his former guild for having led his sister into danger and failing to protect her. Thus, if Mazena and Ruzi were to meet each other again, they would be doing so as enemies.
