Editing Nicol Bolas (section)

==Return to Power==
Robbed of his most powerful abilities, Nicol Bolas set a series of events into motion to return himself to power. He founded an interplanar consortium, which was unfortunately usurped by [[Tezzeret]]. Enlisting [[Liliana Vess]] who in turn found an ally in [[Jace Beleren]] he tried to get the organisation back, but this plan failed when Jace opted to destroy the Consortium instead. Bolas then attempted to combine the planes of Alara into a single one and absorb its power, which succeeded even after the intervention of [[Ajani Goldmane]] who made a copy of Bolas for the dragon to fight and both he and the copy disappeared in a flash of light.

The dragon sent his servant [[Sarkhan Vol]] to the plane of Zendikar to unravel the mystery of the Eye of Ugin. He also engineered the appearances of Jace Beleren and his [[Shadowsun|tsundere]] ladyfriend [[Chandra Nalaar]] to activate the Eye and [[fail|draw the Eldrazi back into the Multiverse.]] Because his intervention stopped at this point, it is rumored that this was [[just as planned]] for the dragon. [[Ugin]] suspects that Bolas did this to make a distraction that could not be ignored. As for what Bolas intends to do while those who would probably try to stop him are occupied with dealing with the Eldrazi, Ugin has no idea.

Tezzeret proved to be useful even after his defeat at the hands of Jace Beleren when Bolas sent him to find the creator of Etherium, Crucius the Mad. Tezzeret did, but not in such a way that proved useful for Nicol Bolas. He in fact managed to defeat and trap the dragon with a piece of artifice. Or so he thought, until he visited the dragon on the island that served as Bolas's prison and revealed [[Tzeentch|he was just a simulacrum.]] Tezzeret was then "recruited" by Bolas once again to go to Mirrodin to assess and observe the rise of [[Phyrexia]] as his inside man.

In [[Amonkhet]] we find out Bolas conquered a plane, and made a prosperous city into an elite zombie army making machine. Then in Hour of Devestation he shows up, destroys the city, and humbles the [[Gatewatch]].
