Nin, the Pain Artist is a legendary vedalken wizard from an unknown plane.

Background[ | ]

Even if she is known as the famed Pain Artist, Nin does not see herself as a torturer. She seeks to awaken a deeper consciousness within her "clients" by exploring their limits. She believes every nerve ending is a pathway to self-knowledge. Nin also sees the body as a delicate instrument, which needs to be "tuned" by the right instruments to reveal its secrets.[1]

Trivia[ | ]

  • Considering that Nin has four arms, it could be speculated that she is a vedalken from Mirrodin. However, Mirrodin vedalken have 5 fingers, and Nin has only 4, which is a trait signature of the vedalken of Alara.
