~ Sifa Grent |
Sifa Grent is a human Planeswalker and the main antagonist of the Dack Fayden comic series from Magic: the Gathering produced by IDW.
History[]
Unlike many Planeswalkers, Sifa's origins are not well documented, but bits and pieces of her past were uncovered by Dack Fayden. Sifa hails from the Alaran shard of Grixis and her Planeswalker spark ignited after being captured by the demon dragon Malfegor. He wanted to steal Grent's spark to leave Grixis, but she kept that power for herself. She had also traveled to the plane of Echoir and was in contact with a titan who is known for collecting creatures from other worlds.
Her introduction to the story came when she herded and slaughtered the denizens of the Fiorian town of Drakestone. One of the casualties was Dack Fayden's lover Mariel. Dack knew little about what had taken place but, once he stole a dagger from a member of the Cult of Rakdos, he learned that Sifa was responsible for massacring everyone close to him. He also learned that Sifa gave the Rakdos the dagger to gain their loyalty as well as to keep it from its owner who was located on the plane of Innistrad. On Innistrad, Sifa Grent formed an alliance with the Falkenrath family of vampires and the group assaulted Dack and a village he allied with. Ironically when Grent arrived at the village, she learned that Dack was at the castle she was in previously looking to kill her. Instead of returning to the castle to kill Dack, Sifa planned on gathering the people of this village to steal their lifeforce and kill them in the process. Dack and his friends arrived to save the village, but Grent escaped before Dack could exact his revenge.
Using his psychometry(the ability to learn the history of items by touching them), Dack learned Sifa's plan was to use her magic to absorb the life from Vitu-Ghazi, the World Tree and guild hall for the Selesnyan Conclave on Ravnica. After gaining aid from the thieves and criminals of Ravnica's underworld, Dack and his companions battled against Sifa and her Rakdos allies. When the two Planeswalkers fought, Sifa managed to beat Dack and was about to kill him. Unbeknownst to Sifa, one of Dack's companions stabbed her with a sword behind and inflicted a near fatal wound on her. Before she could absorb life from the World Tree to heal herself, Dack used his most powerful spell in order to finally have his revenge.
