Born and raised in the swamps of Urborg, Venser's early years were harsh ones as he eked out a living as a scavenger and budding artificer. This displeased Urborg's protector, Lord Windgrace, forcing Venser to constantly live on the run. To escape this life he began to work on a device called the Ambulator, a [[Golden Throne|reverse-engineered throne-shaped Phyrexian device]] capable of traversing [[Doctor Who|time and relative dimensions in space]], in other words Planeswalk. These devices were used by Phyrexia millenia earlier when trying to invade Dominaria. Because of his close proximity to the Time Rift above the Stronghold volcano, the once-capital of Rath, Venser's Spark was mutated somehow.

Teferi, another Planeswalker and once-student of [[Urza]], was investigating the Time Rift when he and his companions Jhoira (former fellow student at Tolaria) and Radha (great-granddaughter of the warlord of the [[Barbarian|Keldon]] tribes during the Phyrexian Invasion) stumbled upon Venser. Seeing in Venser the same anomaly as in Radha, a mutated Spark, they recruited him on their quest to heal the Time Rifts. During this quest Venser was contacted by the voice of one [[Weeaboo|Sensei Ryu]], who catapulted himself back into existence by latching onto Venser's mutated Spark to regain his form as, you guessed it, [[Nicol Bolas]]. Bolas and Teferi clashed, but Bolas left when he realised the nature of the Time Rifts and went to [[Kamigawa]]. During their travels Venser grew rather attached to Jhoira, but when her crush Jodah (a descendant from the Brothers) joined up with them Venser got fed up with them and left. This proved to be a mistake: Lord Windgrace captured him, forcefully recruited him by placing a mark on him and made him return to the group. Back with them he agreed with meeting [[Karn]] in the Blind Eternities using his Ambulator, but this turned out to be a trap set by Leshrac Nightwalker to infest his mind and remove Windgrace's mark. When the real Karn appeared and joined up with Venser to close the Time Rift over Tolaria, Karn received a horrifying vision of the future and he disappeared, closing the Rift behind him.

As Venser returned he was met by Karn's apprentice and fellow Planeswalker Jeska. This was what Leshrac was waiting for: the infestation jumped from Venser to Jeska he took a hold of her mind and forced her to close the rifts above Yavimaya and Zhalfir at heavy losses (longtime-ally Multani and the continent of Zhalfir itself, to the pain of Teferi as the latter was his homeland). When the group caught up to Jeska they also encountered Nicol Bolas, at which point Leshrac revealed his master stroke. Stripping Jeska of the powers she held from her time as Phage, Leshrac attacked the Forever Serpent with the goal of taking his powers for himself and becoming the most powerful being in the multiverse. This was not a plan of his own: he was approached by the Myojin of Night's Reach, the Kamigawan spirit who brought the ancestor of the man that killed Nicol Bolas to Dominaria, to kill Bolas with the help of a powerful artifact, her mask. Leshrac almost killed Bolas until the dragon made a comeback, [[Just as Planned|revealing he held the true mask of the Myojin of Night's Reach all along]], imprisoned him in it and chucked the Nightwalker into the Time Rift over Madara, ending his existence. With one rift left to go and overcome by grief, Jeska cast herself into the Time Rift over her home of Otaria and closed it, ending the Time Rifts and kickstarting the Mending. This set off Venser's spark, making him the first of the fully-fledged Planeswalkers. He gave the Ambulator to Jhoira as he didn't need it anymore as a fully-fledged Planeswalker, and left to see the Multiverse.
