Sorin Markov

Sorin Markov is a vampire planeswalker and a master of sangromancy, a dark corner of black mana specialization.

Sorin is a 6'2"-tall, pale-skinned vampire with white hair and eyes with black sclera and gold irises. With his blood magic, he can drain the lifeforce of other beings, render several creatures — including Eldrazi broods — to ash with a wave of his hand, place curses on enemies, possess the minds of others, fashion blood into weapons, and has even created an angelic being powerful enough to maintain the balance of his entire home plane. He is naturally capable of flight for short periods. As a vampire, Sorin has keen senses and his movement is silent. With thousands of years of practice, Sorin is an expert swordsman. He learned enough of Lithomancy from Nahiri to be able to craft The Helvault, an extremely powerful prison capable of containing the ancient planeswalker herself, as well as Avacyn, and thousands of demons. He is described as having a predatory, yet enchanting characteristic to him, apparently appearing almost above other vampires in regards to his appearance and mannerisms.

Sorin Markov is one of the oldest living planeswalkers. He was more than 7000 years old at the time of the Siege of Thraben. Unlike Ugin and Nicol Bolas, he has dedicated his existence to following his whims, and this easy life of pleasure has brought him detachment and easy confidence. Having seen hundreds of planes over thousands of years, he has become a sort of bon vivant, seeking novelty and new diversions. But despite his fundamentally hedonistic nature, Sorin does feel the pull of more lasting concerns and, over his long life, this tendency has resulted in an arcane schedule of engagements and forays to far-flung planes. As a result, Sorin is a busy man, planeswalking frequently to pursue concerns known only to him. Sorin always seems to have business elsewhere. It has been shown, however, that despite the countless number of planes he has visited, he still treasures his memories of his home plane, Innistrad, and desires to protect it from inside and outside threats. As his creation, Sorin thought of Avacyn like a daughter, and remains pained by her loss. Sorin is one of only a few surviving pre-Mending planeswalkers, which means he is more powerful than most other planeswalkers.

Sorin is primarily black-aligned, but is secondary white.
