Obeka is an ogre chronologist from an unknown plane.

Description

Obeka is an ogre mage with blue-gray skin, dark eyes, and pointed ears.[1] She has red hair, with one side of her head shaved, and wears animals fangs as ear piercings and an hourglass lantern hangs from her waistcoat. A chronologist, Obeka breaks the flow of time through brute force.

Obeka wants nothing more than to live an enjoyable life full of earthly pleasures and fights.[2] She lives exclusively in the moment, as her only concern is if something sounds fun.

History

Obeka traveled to Thunder Junction via Omenpath as it was being settled and found work as a hired mercenary for the Slickshot Gang.[1] They quickly became big players in the criminal underworld thanks to a magic-amplifying elixir possessed by the gang's leader. However, Obeka was unable to prevent the elixir's theft by Nashi.

Behind the scenes

Jesper Ejsing's art for Obeka, Brute Chronologist is labeled "Selwan, Timesmasher," implying this was the character and card's original name.[3]
