Description
Niv-Mizzet, commonly referred to as the Firemind, is an ancient red-brown Ravnican dragon obsessed with omniscience. Despite his size, he is able to move lightly and gracefully. He has a twisting tail, long blue-fringed wings, a long neck, spined membranes around his head and long dark horns. He is the parun and guildmaster of the Izzet League on Ravnica.
The Firemind's intellect exceeds that of standard mortals by several echelons, and he is known for many ingenious inventions that currently serve the citizens of Ravnica, the most well known being the almost indestructible, yet easily usable and forgeable metal, mizzium. Niv-Mizzet has directed the research and experiments of the Izzet League for more than 10,000 years, often from his private laboratory at the top of the Izzet guildhall, Nivix.
Due to his extreme age, his triumph over numerous challengers, and status as a dragon wizard, Niv-Mizzet possesses knowledge that no other Ravnicans possess, including sorceries that have been lost to time and weapons whose makings have been lost.
