[edit] Kamahl
A barbarian and pit fighter. He came down from the mountains looking for worthy opponents. While in Cabal City, he befriended the cabal dementia summoner, Chainer, and the centaur Seton. He also saw the Mirari and got caught in its thrall. He followed it all over Otaria. He finally got it from Chainer, who bequeathed him the Mirari before he died from his own use of it. His gigantic sword, forged from Urza's power staff, gained special powers after merging with the Mirari. Kamahl returned to the Pardic mountains to unite the tribes. The Mirari caused him to lose his temper on multiple occasions, stabbing his sister, Jeska. (Odyssey block)
Kamahl later became the Fist of Krosa, a druid acolyte. This was a way of washing his hands of his guilt from fatally wounding Jeska. He left his sword in the heart of Krosa forest and picked up a staff. Back in Cabal City he meets another centaur, Stonebrow, and Phage (Jeska, now black aligned) Things get even more mixed up when Akroma, the angel, comes to kill Phage. Kamahl and Phage team up and defeat Akroma and her master, Ixidor. Later Phage, Akroma and Zagorka converge and become Karona (below) (Onslaught block)

[edit] Kaldra
An avatar created from the Kaldra Weapons (Helm, Shield, and Sword of Kaldra) Glissa found on her travels through the plane. Memnarch took control of the Kaldra Avatar, ordering him to get rid of Glissa and his companions, Bosh and Slobad . Bosh sacrifices himself to give Glissa and Slobad enough time to escape to the Tangle. Glissa cast a spell to bind the avatar once it gets to the surface, but the spell barely helps. Suddenly, the fifth sun (the green one) gets free from Mirrodin´s core, making its way to the surface of the plane and obliterating the avatar in the process. Mirrodin.

[edit] Karel Volnikov
Marshal of Vodalia who travelled with his empress Galina to Atlantis (Fallen Empires)
[edit] Karona
Dubbed a "False God". She's a manifestation of all Dominaria's magic, who rose from the fusion of the demonic queen Phage, the angelic crusader Akroma and old Zagorka.
Despite her near-unlimited power, she was initially naive of her surroundings, running away from the sentient beings who seem to be craving her awesome presence. Also she could only do things that were thought of by others. In an attempt to find her godly kin, Karona opened up five portals, one for each color of magic. While she was away, Dominaria lost all magical capabilities. And, though the magic returned with her, it was subtly different. (setting the scene for Time Spiral)
She was slain by two unlikely heroes, Ixidor's shadow servants, with Kamahl's Mirari Sword. Upon her death, Karona was visited by Karn. He took her again to the plain of Argentum, where she was unmade and her true form (Kamahl's sister Jeska) returned into being. Karn revealed to Jeska that she was a planeswalker. Karn left the living embodiment of the Mirari, Memnarch, in charge while he left with her to teach her the ways of the planeswalkers. Jeska returns to Dominaria at the end of the planar chaos novel.
[edit] Karli
Desert Mage (Card: Giant Badger)
[edit] Karlov, Uncle
‘Uncle’ Karlov was an Orzhov patriarch. He is succeeded by his niece Teysa Karlov. (Ravnica)
[edit] Karn
When Urza decided to travel back in time to meet the Thran and learn their secrets, he founded the Tolarian Academy. He guided all manner of time-travel experiments, and constructed a mechanical being who became his primary tool for gathering data. He incorporated Xantcha's personality matrix into this sentient silver golem, named Karn, so that it would learn and mature. As part of Gerrard’s Legacy, Karn was charged with protecting the child Gerrard from harm. When he was tricked into killing an innocent man, Karn vowed never to take another life, no matter what the circumstances. A large number of the Legacy’s treasure were contained within the chest of Karn, waiting for Gerrard to come of age and use them. Unfortunately, Karn was deactivated by Vuel (Volrath) with the Touchstone. Consequently the treasures were stolen and dispersed. After spending years deactivated, Gerrard rediscovered Karn, who had been found by Sisay, in the hold of the Weatherlight. With help of the Thran Tome, Karn was brought back to life. As the Weatherlight arrived in Rath to rescue Sisay, they were immediately attacked by Volrath’s own ship, the Predator. In moments the Weatherlight was overtaken by the Moggs, searching for the Legacy artifacts, including Karn. Maintaining his vow to never harm another living being, Karn offered no resistance and was hauled to the Predator. Volrath imprisoned and tortured him by forcing him to break his vow never to injure or kill other beings. His cell was filled with moggs and its floor continuously undulated, causing him to stumble into the creatures and crush them.
However, Karn was later rescued by the Weatherlight crew, escaping from Volrath's Stronghold. He would later go on to become an integral part of the resistance during the Invasion of Dominaria, providing wisdom for the Weatherlight crew. In the end, Karn sacrifices himself, fulfilling his piece of the Legacy Weapon and along with Gerrard and Urza, destroys Yawgmoth. However, while Gerrard and Urza were slain in the explosion, Karn ascends to Planeswalker status, absorbing the personalities of the many beings involved in the legacy (IE, Urza, Gerrard, Ramos, Glacien, etc), which became voices in his head. He is the only artificial being to ever achieve this feat.
Karn, the planeswalker, created the plane of Argentum and the artifact wizard Memnarch, who later modified and renamed the plane into Mirrodin, though his presence is a mysterious one. It is known that he sent the Mirari to Dominaria as a probe, which he then uses to the Mirari to create Memnarch.
In the Planar Chaos novel Karn appears both as an image conjured up by the Weaver King and as the actual Golem himself. As his skills are needed to shut the planar rifts, he is summoned by Jhoira using Venser's modified ambulator. He travels back in time to just before Barrin destroys Tolaria and attempts to close the rift there. During the process some unknown evil gains control of him and he flees, warning no one to follow. Karn was unsuccessful in closing the Tolarian rift, due to an unknown cause that is probably related to "Urza's Eye", which could be the Mightstone and Weakstone that were lodged in Urza's Eye after the brothers' war.
