The Rag Man was a minion created by Lord Ith during The Dark Age on Dominaria.[1]

History[]

At around 300 AR, a Rag Man was active in the Bade Mountains of northern Aerona. He fathered children on the women of a village, and these children grew up to become Rag Men themselves.[2]

Over a century later, Lord Ith, imprisoned by his apprentice Mairsil, summoned a Rag Man. This Rag Man led Jodah to the Conclave of Mages. Jodah freed the old mage, only to see Ith, who had been driven insane, go into a murderous rampage that resulted in the death of Mairsil and the Rag Man, and the Fall of the Conclave of Mages. In the end, Jodah managed to make Ith come to his senses. The artificer Barl, who had devised the cage that had held Ith, was turned into Ith's new Rag Man.
