![]() The only thing that saved her was the sacrifice of her close friend Bosh, one of the last ur-golems that existed. Unfortunately for the young elf, Memnarch seized control of the Kaldra avatar and turned it against her. Finally, after scouring the surface of the world and collecting the legendary Kaldra artifacts, she confronted the despot with her champion. Time and again, she escaped Memnarch's machinations, eluding his agents and armies as she plotted her revenge against the power-mad golem for the death of her family. His attempts to find a planeswalker spark finally bore fruit when he found Glissa Sunseeker, becoming obsessed with capturing her and stealing her spark for himself. ![]() The conversion of the entire world into a planet-sized machine able to transfer the planeswalker's spark from one being into another. From the Panopticon he scoured the population for beings who could possibly possess the planeswalker's spark, and while his agents sought that unique individual, Memnarch began planning his most ambitious project yet. His grand vision took a dark turn as he began harvesting the kidnapped inhabitants of Mirrodin. Memnarch dreamed of becoming a planeswalker. He dreamed of joining his creator in the multiverse. Unfortunately, this mind-altering substance only served to exacerbate his madness, and a new obsession took root. He created a huge serum tank as a surrogate body, with equally huge metal legs to support it. Dissatisfied with the rate at which his perception grew, he began to modify his own form to accommodate more and more of the substance. He began to ingest the serum in larger and larger doses. Experimenting with the blinkmoths that had come from beyond his world, he discovered their fluids could be refined into a serum which expanded his consciousness beyond anything he could have imagined. Memnarch was driven to find the answer, then driven mad by his failure to find it.Īs his plans came to fruition, Memnarch became more and more obsessed with his missing creator and the worlds beyond his own. Memnarch destroyed the mycosynth as quickly as it rose, but it was a tiring effort and Memnarch began to grow weary, his mind and body suffering from his isolation. The spore called Mycosynth began converting metal to flesh and flesh to metal. All the while, a silent threat rose in the core, its only adversary the lone Memnarch. With the world remade to his specifications, he began to abduct inhabitants of other planes en masse using an insidious device known as a soul trap. Utilizing his ur-golem compatriots, he terraformed the plane to support life, and once they had accomplished their task, he began to systematically destroy the remaining ur-golems. His first act was to rename the world Mirrodin, after his previous existence as the Mirari. That spot of oil would alter the history of Argentum forever. However, before his grand vision could be realized, a small, almost insignificant stain caught his eye. It was their presence that caused him to take action, to bring true life to the world. The Blinkmoths populated the skies, but Memnarch did not understand from where they had come. It was during this time, that the first anomaly came to his attention. He came to understand the way the world had been constructed, and realized how empty it truly was. His mind was greatly expanded with the power of his new gifts, and he spent decades wandering his maker's plane, learning the incredible mathematics of the world he was regent of. The second was stewardship over the plane itself. The first was the Mirari orb, with all of its experiences and intelligence, which allowed him to become something more than he had been. When Karn chose to leave Argentum to train the newly ascended Jeska, he granted his warden two gifts. During the creation of Argentum, Karn created golems to occupy and maintain his world, but none were as close to their creator as the Warden of Galdroon, Karn's castle. Memnarch's existence, strangely, manages to predate his own creation.
