Edgar Markov is the founder of the Markov bloodline, and the very first vampire of Innistrad. Thousands of years ago he was an aging human alchemist, experimenting with ways to achieve agelessness for himself and his only grandson, Sorin. When famine was sweeping the land, the demon Shilgengar convinced Edgar to start experiments with blood. Markov and his sons trapped the angel Marycz in his laboratory and exsanguinated her, preparing a decoction from her blood and created a ritual which caused his subjects to feed on the blood of other beings. It provided sustenance to those few, but the demand for blood also culled the overall population, reducing the number of hungry mouths to feed. However, when he finally turned his grandson the trauma of the transformation caused Sorin's planeswalker spark to ignite. Sorin soon left the plane and his grandfather.

One of the five Clans of Tarkir, the Mardu Horde clan admires the ancient dragons' aspect of speed.

The Mardu Horde are fearsome warriors that live for the heat of battle and thrive on the rocky wastes of Tarkir. The clan's main encampment is at the cliffs where an ancient dragon died. They routinely conduct vicious raids against the other clans and regularly combine lightning magic and archery to strike at their enemies. Shu Yun saw them as a necessary part, since they spread far and wide and killed dragons that would otherwise grow to become a threat.

  • To conquer is to eat.
