Melek is a weird wizard of the Izzet League on Ravnica. He was chosen as the Izzet maze runner. He was reforged sometime around the time Murders at Karlov Manor took place.

History[ | ]

The Implicit Maze[ | ]

Melek was created by Izzet mages to run the Implicit Maze against the other guilds, much to the dismay of Ral Zarek, one of the biggest researchers into the maze. Ral felt that he deserved to be the runner but was instead assigned to coordinate the event. Just as the race was about to begin and all the runners were announcing themselves, Ral sapped Melek's elemental energy, thus killing Melek and becoming the runner.[1]

Murders at Karlov Manor[ | ]

Melek was resurrected to act as an ongoing liaison for the Izzet with the Ravnican Agency of Magicological Investigations — a necessity, as all other Izzet who tried to hold the position before were eventually politely requested to go back to their guild and stop "helping" with investigations.[2] It's unclear what, if any, memories of his previous life he retains, though he can't help but feel a sense of unease whenever he's around Ral Zarek.
