Razia was the parun and leader of the Boros Legion on Ravnica.

Description

To quote Magic artist Matt Cavotta, "Razia has been the heart and soul of the Boros guild since the signing of the guildpact. She is more like a demi-god to the army than a military leader, inspiring greatness and giving hope, meaning, and destiny to her Boros devout. Just to keep the black-hearted honest, she does, on occasion, rip the battlefield with holy fire".[1]

It is said that all of the Boros angels were created as images of her, and are thus physically identical;[2] however, it may be such that all other Boros angels are similar, not precisely the same.

History

Razia was an ageless construct of red and white mana.[3] She was killed by Szadek, who impaled her with her own sword, though he was enslaved by Augustin IV at the time.[2] A lupul took her form and posed as her for a while, but it was ultimately destroyed by Agrus Kos and Pivlic.
