Yert was a Moriok from the Mephidross on Mirrodin, who later became a vampire.
Description
Yert had orders from Geth to kill Glissa during her trip into the Dross. When Glissa, Slobad, and Bosh slaughtered Yert's Reaper, a very powerful zombie, Glissa felt sorry when Yert broke down crying as a result. Yert agreed to help her achieve her goals so long as she would help him get a new zombie to control. Geth, angered at Glissa's impertinence, ordered his pet vampire to attack, which she defeated after grievously wounding it. With no choice, Geth told Glissa what she wanted to know, which got her to leave more quickly.[1]
Unfortunately, the vampire's wounds were severe, and only an extensive feeding would save it. So Yert was fed to the vampire, ensuring the traitor's death.[2]
He did not stay dead, unfortunately, and rising as a vampire himself, he overthrew Geth after beheading him. Geth's head was picked up by Raksha Golden Cub and brought to Glissa, and when Glissa returned to the Mephidross, Yert was waiting for her under orders of Memnarch to take her alive. He lured her into a trap and froze her in time, though he lost control of Bruenna, who escaped. Glissa was left frozen for five years while Yert exerted his dominion over the Dross and started invading the lands outside, including much of the Glimmervoid and Razor Fields. When he attacked Krark-Home in the Oxidda Chain, however, Glissa had been rescued and unfrozen by Bruenna. Using the power of the Miracore and a gemstone crafted by Bruenna, Glissa teleported inside Yert, who exploded into little pieces.[3]
