“	I was old before this world was even born. I watched my brothers rule for a thousand years until little worms like you overcame them. But I am not my brothers. I am older than they are, greater. I have devoured stars and shattered worlds. I have sired whole races, populated entire planes, and then hunted them to extinction for my amusement.	„

“	IT WAS ALMOST TOO EASY. SPREAD THE WORD THAT THE BLACKBLADE KILLED AN ELDER DRAGON. MAKE IT JUST DIFFICULT TO FIND THE THING, SO THAT THEY APPRECIATE ITS WORTH. GIVE THEM ONE OF LILIANA’S DEMONS TO KILL WITH IT, SO THAT THEY BELIEVE IN THE UNCONQUERABLE STRENGTH OF THEIR ULTIMATE WEAPON. BELIEVE IN IT ENOUGH SO THAT THEY NEVER BOTHER TO SEARCH IN ANYTHING ELSE. AND WATCH AS THEY COMMIT EVERYTHING THEY HAVE FOR AN ATTACK THAT ABSOLUTELY DEPENDS... ON THE ONE WEAPON WE ARE THROUGHLY PREPARED TO REPEL. YES, THE BLACKBLADE ONCE KILLED AN ELDER DRAGON. AND BECAUSE OF THAT ONE FACT, WE MADE DAMN SURE MILLENNIA AGO THAT IT COULD NEVER. KILL. US. LET BOTH STOMP THE GROUND UNTIL NOTHING MOVES BENEATH THEIR UNDEAD FEET. WE’VE HAD OUR FUN, NOW WE GROW WEARY OF THE IMPERTINENCE OF ANTS.	„

Background

Nicol Bolas is one of the biggest antagonist of Magic: the Gathering. Born from one of the eggs of the Ur-Dragon, he is a twin to Ugin, as well as Palladia-Mors, Chromium Rhuell, Arcades Sabboth, and Vaevictis Asmadi. After witnessing the death of Merrevia Sal, his sister, in the hands of primitive humans, Bolas was infuriated by the idea that inferior beings could kill him. Later, when Ugin's planeswalker spark ignites, Bolas becomes so jealous that his does too.

Later on, when Bolas fought a demonic leviathan (destroying 1 third of the continent in the process), he used his death magic to kill it in one touch, creating his first rift. In his battle against a planeswalker known as Leshrac, Leshrac was easily winning as they fought across countless planes, where several of Bolas's bones he lost were scattered across. However, Bolas managed to gain the upper hand by impaling Leshrac with the skeletal remains of his tail, absorbing all his power, then tossing his body into a rift, killing him.

After the massive boost in power, Bolas was one of, if not the most, the most powerful beings in the multiverse. Causing several rifts that each were going to tear apart the multiverse, coming back despite both his body and essence being destroyed by Tetsuo Umezawa, stomping Teferi effortlessly in a battle for control over the timestreams across the multiverse, Bolas was nearly unstoppable. However, when several planeswalkers mended these rifts, the mending depowered Bolas, weakening him and stripping him from his god-like power. Bolas now seeks a way to gain this power back, and will stop at nothing to do so

Origin: Magic: the Gathering

Gender: Male

Age: 30,000-50,000 years+ (Is referred to as one of the oldest beings in the Multiverse. Is as old as Ugin, as a twin of him)

Classification: Planeswalker, Elder Dragon, Multiversal Tyrant, Power-Hungry Dragon

Attack Potency: At least Island level (Should be more powerful to other monsters across the MtG multiverse, such as Polukranos, who destroyed a massive polis the size of Akros and Meletis, which are the two largest cities in theros, and other creatures from Theros, such as Arixmethis, who is a living island. A battle between him an a leviathan destroyed one third of a continent) | At least Island level (Should be comparable to his Elder Dragon self. Superior to Tezzeret, who created a island made out of metal). At least Macrocosmic level+ with Magic (Effortlessly stomped the Gods of Amonkhet, who connected to the leylines of the plane). Low Macroverse level with the Conflux (The conflux can split Alara into five planes, and then re-combine them) | Macrocosmic level+ physically (Has reached the point where he is comparable to that of gods, such as the Gods of Amonkhet or the Gods of Theros, who can shake the plane. Liliana Vess viewed Bolas as "seemingly unaffected by the mending", implying Bolas at this time should be comparable to Pre-Mending Liliana. Kruphix states that if Bolas were to set foot on Theros, none of the gods would be able to stop him, making him comparable to Xenagos). At least Macroversal level+, possibly High Macroversal+ with the Elderspell (With the complete Elderspell, Bolas would begin his ascension to godhood, regaining his former power) | At least Macroverse level+ (His casual attacks created rifts in the multiverse, each of which would eventually tear it apart. His full presence on Dominaria is would collapse it's foundation, which would destroy the multiverse as Dominaria is it's nexus. Effortlessly stomped Teferi, who can control all of the infinite time streams of the multiverse, each of which contains their own multiverse, with a past, present, and future. Sealed a massive amount of the rifts that was destabilizing Dominaria, and casually prevented the destruction of the multiverse), possibly High Macroverse level+ (As the strongest dragon in existence at this point, he should embody a great amount of the Ur-Dragon)

Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Shouldn't be any slower than Polukranos) | Massively Hypersonic+ (Shouldn't be any slower than before). Extra-Temporal with Clockworking (Can hop in any point in time by Clockworking) | Massively Hypersonic+ (Faster than before). Extra-Temporal with Clockworking | Extra-Temporal (Has to willingly create an avatar to enter a plane, completely unaffected by Teferi's time magic, such as slowing down, speeding up, stopping, and erasing time, as well as manipulating the time rifts)

Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ | Massively Hypersonic+ | Massively Hypersonic+ | Extra-Temporal

Combat Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ | Massively Hypersonic+ | Massively Hypersonic+ | Extra-Temporal

Striking Strength: At least Island Class | At least Island Class | Macrocosmic+ | At least Macroversal+, possibly High Macroversal+ (His casual attacks can create rifts in the multiverse)

Durability: At least Island level (Is one of the survivors of the Elder Dragon War) | At least Island level. Macrocosmic level+ with Magic (Likely using some sort of magic, Oketra's arrows bounced off of him) | Macrocosmic+ | At least Macroversal+, possibly High Macroversal+ (Was not at all concerned about the destruction of the multiverse)
