Rwaffan

Rwaffan is an aven planeswalker from the shard of Bant, in Alara. After the Conflux, his left wing got broken in a confrontation and was permanently crippled.

Life in Alara
When the five shards were still separate, Rwaffan lived an honorable life in the shard of Bant, where he achieved the sigiled status.Proud and abnegated, he served his nation in times of peace and war. However, everything changed after the Conflux.

Even though he survived the merging of the shards, a dragon from Jund got too close to the villages he was protecting, so he and another group of aven were sent to deal with it. During the confrontation, Rwaffan's left wing was broken, and he plummeted down into the jungle below.

There, he was captured by a Nacatl tribe and made a prisoner. At first, Rwaffan patiently waited for his people to rescue him, but as days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, he realized he was all alone, and began despising his former people. He renounced his sigils and swore never to return to Bant.

As time went by, he proved to be an asset to the tribe that held him hostage, and he eventually was accepted among them, training under their harsh leader Camata. This training pushed him beyond his boundaries. He learned how to move like a Nacatl despite his physical differences. He learned to leap, to move swiftly and stealthily and not to rely of flying, an impossible task for him now since his wound wasn't tended to when it was fresh and his bones regenerated in the wrong position, forever ruining his wing. However, he became a deadly fighter and developed brand-new combat techniques.

One day, while on the hunt of a baloth that was roaming the tribe, Rwaffan tripped and fell from a tree. His landing would put him right in front of the baloth's path. Not wanting to be trampled to death, he instinctively opened his wings and, despite his crooked wing, he was able to keep himself in the air long enough to only get hit by the baloth's side. He was sent flying away, but the pain from using his broken wing and the adrenaline rush of the whole situation triggered his spark. He was shot into the Blind Eternities.

The Arena
Rwaffan crash-landed in a forest inside the Arena. Unaware of what planeswalking was and, consequently, that he was no longer in Alara, he began to wander this strange place in search of his tribe. He first came across Doer and Michi and mistook them for Nacatl.
