Thrissik is one of the the Seven Steel Thanes of New Phyrexia.[1]

Description

Thrissik believes that Phyrexia must give birth to its destroyer. The destroyer will destroy Phyrexia, so it can be reborn. The cycle must continue because Phyrexia must always be improved and strengthened. With each resurrection from its own ashes, Phyrexia will be stronger than before. Thrissik seeks the Destroyer and wants to place himself as the Father of Machines. After Roxith came to its realm to harvest flesh, Thrissik attacked the Thane in order to determine if he was the "destroyer". Thrissik managed to substantially injure Roxith and concluded he was not the "destroyer".[2]

Phyrexia: All Will Be One

Thrissik is one of the Thanes who pledged their allegiance to Elesh Norn.[3] He is building cairns to bring about his Destroyer, and the strongest mages are the best building materials.
