List of characters in Magic: The Gathering: W

The fictional universe of the trading card game Magic: The Gathering features many characters. This alphabetic list includes characters who Appear in flavor-text on the cards, in games, comics or short stories as well as minor characters from the novels. Major characters have their own entry.

Waffa

A sorcerer of Nyomba (Card: )

Waistcoat

An "unman," or two-dimensional semi-sentient mobile escape gateway created by Ixidor in his own image. After Ixidor's defeat, Waistcoat was one of three remaining unmen left without their creator to control them. He paired up with another unman and the two decided to explore Otaria by themselves. Innitially taking on the name "Puddle" due to the shrunken, unclear outline he soon developed, he eventually began to call himself "Waistcoat" after he and his companion, Sash, attempted to enter high society disguised heavily in fancy clothing. After numerous misadventures, including spending time as cockroaches in the service of the Cabal Patriarch, Sash and Waistcoat became unofficial guides and sidekicks to Karona. Their magical nature rendered them apparently immune to the hypnotic effect she had on other creatures. While they sympathised with her troubles and sought to make her enemies understand her predicament, they eventually saw the necessity of ending her existence and were able to stab her through the back with Kamahl's sword.

Walid

A pious man on the planes of Rabiah. He had been blessed with many sons, many jewels, and a great many camels. (Arabian NiGHTS)

Watnik

A master glassblower (Odyssey)

Whip Tongue

A viashino technician at Shiv’s mana-rig (Urza’s Legacy)

Windgrace

A panther warrior and planeswalker living on Urborg. As one of the Nine Titans Lord Windgrace helped destroy Phyrexia. After the death of Taysir, Windgrace performed a funeral ceremony in which he took the heart out of the corpse and placed it in his own body, a custom on Urborg to prevent Lich Lords from animating the body. (Apocalypse)

Windgrace appears in name only in Time Spiral as the leader of the Gladehunters, an organization composed of all of Urborg's creatures dedicated to eradicating artifacts and those that build them. He has a much more prominent role in Planar Chaos, where he battles the Weaver King, alternate reality Phyrexians and attempts to save Urborg in the process. Ultimately he sacrifices himself much as Freyalise, a fellow planeswalker, did; by throwing himself into the planar rift above his beloved Urborg. He leaves behind a piece of himself so that if disaster strikes again his legacy will continue to protect the swamp. With a final triumphant roar he mends the wound and then vanishes in a blast of light. His fate is unknown, though he is presumed dead.
