Nicol Bolas

Planeswalker, Magic the Gathering | Character

Something Missing?

The nameless, former planeswalker once called Nicol Bolas (born as just Nicol) is the youngest and most infamous of the seven Elder Dragons that survived the Elder Dragon War.

Unlike normal dragons, the olive-green-scaled Bolas stands on two legs, using his long tail for balance. His face is flattened and broad, with pale green eyes and a human-like mouth and features. His horns curve upward, framing a hovering orb between them, and his enormous wings spread behind him. Standing 35 feet tall, his body stretches 60 feet long, with a 60-foot wingspan, and he weighs 60 tons. When Bolas breathes fire, it is black-tinged with death magic. His flight is inelegant.

Already nearly as powerful as a planeswalker as an elder dragon, after his spark ignited Bolas became the most powerful being in the Multiverse. Along with his twin Ugin, they are possibly the oldest beings alive. He was said to be old before Dominaria was even born. He sired whole races, populated entire planes, and then hunted them to extinction for his amusement. Bolas' hallmark is his touch, an inborn ability that causes a mind-shattering effect with the slightest caress. In his duel with Teferi, Bolas proved skilled enough in blue magic to completely nullify the time magic Teferi had created.

Nicol Bolas had access to Black, Blue, and Red mana, and was a master of all three, having many lifetimes worth of experience and knowledge. When Nicol Bolas planeswalked, he disappeared in a golden light, and it was also noted by Sarkan Vol during their first encounter that the way Bolas moved was as though he moved the planes around him, not the other way around, although that may be hyperbole brought on due to Sarkan’s notable reverence towards dragons and his wonder at meeting his first dragon planeswalker. Similarly, he is said to have forgotten more magic than any other being will ever learn.
