Melisk was a member of the Orzhov guild, and an attendant to Teysa Karlov on Ravnica.[1]
Description
Melisk was a tall, bald tattoed man in ornate gold, black, and white robes, holding a staff topped by a pale mask before his face. He had necrotically enhanced, unblinking eyes.
History
Unknown to Teysa, Melisk was an agent of the Obzedat, frequently using Teysa to achieve his and the Obzedat's goals via "narcolepsy spells," during which Teysa became a puppet in his hands. Obedient to the Obzedat's instructions, he arranged the attack at the Karlov lokopede vehicle using his taj killers, who possessed dead Gruul bodies and made Teysa kill her uncle. However, he was not of true Orzhov blood, and despite their almost identical education, this fact gave Teysa an edge when she learned about his treachery against her and decided to kill him. Melisk brought his taj to kill the baroness, but Teysa deprived him of control because the taj could not resist an order from pureblood Orzhov. Melisk was dismembered and killed, his spirit falling quickly into the Schism.[1]
