Champion Zahur is a leonin zombie warrior charioteer from Amonkhet.[1] He originates from the lost era before Nicol Bolas.[2]
Description
Prepared with new wrappings and dressed in fine raiment, Zahur led the Amonkheti delegation in the second Ghirapur Grand Prix, alongside Basri Ket and a crew of living and undead charioteers.[2] These racers rode to win glory and bring acclaim to Naktamun, Hazoret, the new gods, and the people of Amonkhet who still struggle to build a new plane of their own from the ruin of history.
He is the leader of the Maahestet, a once dominant race of leonin who have since been reduced to a cadre of declining undead. Determined to prevent their wasting, Zahur hoped to reap the rewards of the Ghirapur Grand Prix and bring a new dawn to both his people and his home.
History
Zahur was a legendary charioteer before Bolas trespassed on Amonkhet and scoured his name from history.[3][4] His gloried tomb was discovered by Basri Ket during one of his expeditions into the Broken Lands. With the proper rites performed, Zahur rose from his grave and proudly stepped into the role of co-captain for the Champions of Amonkhet.[5] He and Basri formed a close bond after fighting a couple of tomb demons together.[6]
Zahur was the first racer to cross the finish line of the Grand Prix, winning the Aetherspark for the Champions of Amonkhet.[7]
Trivia
- Zahur is referred to as "Ramose" in a Magic: The Gathering Arena tooltip, implying that may have been his name during development.[8]
