Troyan is a Vedalken from Ravnica who currently resides on Eldraine.
Description
Troyan is blue-skinned and dashing. He wears a green and blue coat with a creature with multiple arms painted on it.[1] He is a self-styled expert climber, professional wanderer, and adventurer.
Inspiration
Troyan is based on Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk.[2]
History
Troyan was a member of the Simic Combine on Ravnica.[3] He found his opportunities in the guild limited and unfulfilling. He wasn't a brilliant scientist and was unwilling to become a test subject. His skills were in athletic pursuits, and he often climbed the city's spires, winning every competition he could find.[1] After New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, he took the opportunity afforded by the Omenpaths to travel to Eldraine and become an adventurer.[2] He later guided Kellan and Ruby up a beanstalk to Stormkeld castle.[1][4] He later used this route to steal treasure from the unwitting cloud giants.[5]
Planes visited
Though not a planeswalker, Troyan travels through the Multiverse through Omenpaths.
Trivia
- Though Troyan has been described as a former Simic who wears green and blue, a Magic: The Gathering Arena Tooltip refers to him as Izzet.[5]
