Estel is a young boy in the forsaken underground of Tidehollow of Esper, a place known for its filth, darkness, and desolation. When he encountered Tezzeret, he became a symbol of the tragic cycle of poverty and hopelessness that defined life in Tidehollow. Estel, described as blond and young, was pushed into the gutter by his peers and left behind, showing his vulnerable status. Tezzeret, recognizing something of his past in Estel, offered him a rare opportunity for escape by giving him an etherium box and a mission to seek help from Knight-General Rafiq in Bant. This chance meeting transformed Estel from a mere survivor in a desolate environment into a potential bearer of hope and a crucial link in Tezzeret's broader plans against the Phyrexian invasion.[1]
