Captain Ripley Vance is a pyromantic mage-pirate on Ixalan.

History[ | ]

Captain Ripley Vance was once a pyromantic mage-pirate with a galleon under her command.[1] She claimed the cannons from each defeated foe until her ship, the Leviathan's Wrath, wallowed under their weight. Having grown too prosperous to continue her vocation as a ship's captain, Vance found a solution in the form of a cliff with a natural lava flow running down it. Blasting the cliff face with her cannons, she carved out a coastal fortress, which she dubbed Spitfire Bastion. Situated as it is on a large island off the Sun Coast between High and Dry and Ixalan, Spitfire Bastion has become a popular place for members of the Brazen Coalition to stop for supplies and recreation. Ships put into port there only at Captain Vance's sufferance, however; those who incur her wrath are pummeled mercilessly by the tremendous batteries of cannons that cover all approaches.

After New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, she was placed in charge of Sunray Bay, the Coalitions primary port on Ixalan and the largest land-based population center.[2][3][4] When the nearby town of Downtown disappeared in 4563 AR, she sent the town's official emissary, Malcolm Lee, to investigate.[2] Sunray Bay was subsequently taken over by the Mycotyrant, and Vance's fate is unknown.[5]
