Mevra was a human whose visage was used by Nicol Bolas in duplicity, two generations after the Khanfall on Tarkir, likely after he killed her.

Description

Mevra, as portrayed by Nicol Bolas, appeared initially as a pregnant woman with a friendly and reassuring demeanor. She was graceful and light-footed despite her advanced pregnancy, moving effortlessly without making a sound. Her face was familiar to Naiva, reminiscent of the Mevra known from the annual gatherings at Ayagor. However, upon closer inspection, there were unsettling details: her hair didn't stir in the wind, she lacked the usual smells associated with hunters, and there was a slight uncanny effect in her movements and expressions. These subtle details hinted at her being an illusion crafted by powerful magic rather than the real Mevra.

The personality of this illusory Mevra was depicted as warm, engaging, and disarmingly friendly. She engaged Naiva in conversation, showing familiarity with her and expressing concern about finding Yasova. Her speech was characterized by a mix of charm and curiosity, aiming to establish trust and elicit information. Despite her friendly facade, there was an underlying sense of manipulation and power, especially evident when she transformed into Nicol Bolas himself, revealing his true intent and the depth of his deceit.

The use of Mevra's appearance by Nicol Bolas served a strategic purpose. It initially lulled Naiva into a false sense of security and familiarity, making her vulnerable to manipulation. This deception was part of Nicol Bolas's broader scheme to deceive and manipulate the characters for his ends, leveraging their trust and emotions against them. Mevra's illusion was a tool used by Nicol Bolas to infiltrate and influence the group, creating confusion and conflict among them. Her appearance and personality were crafted to exploit emotional vulnerabilities and trust, ultimately revealing the sinister agenda at play.

Precisely what happened to the real Mevra is unanswered, but Nicol Bolas likely killed her to ensure she did not interrupt his charades.
