Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Niv-Mizzet, who is commonly referred to as the Firemind, is an ancient Decem Factiones Dragon obsessed with omniscience. He is one of the most brilliant beings on the plane, although his temper has cost him more than his share of charbroiled apprentices.
The Firemind's intellect exceeds that of standard mortals by several echelons, and he is known for many ingenious inventions that currently serve the citizens of Decem Factiones, the most well known being the almost indestructible, yet easily usable and forgeable metal, mizzium. Possessed of arrogance and vanity that matches his vast intellect and tremendous power, Niv-Mizzet directed the research and experiments of the Izzet for more than 10,000 years, often from his private laboratory at the top of the Izzet guildhall, Nivix. Known as an inquisitive and profoundly ingenious archmage, the Firemind is beyond the need for machines or contraptions to conduct his own research, experimenting instead in the realm of pure thought and magic.
Niv-Mizzet is the oldest and most cunning being on the continent of Decem Factiones, and his magical prowess has proven enough to cast at least a hundred spells instantaneously with only the briefest flicker of his mind, spells that would individually require the full concentration of a mortal mage. Due to his extreme age, his triumph over numerous challengers, and status as a dragon wizard, Niv-Mizzet possesses knowledge that no other Decem Factionesians possess, including sorceries that have been lost to time and weapons whose makings have been lost. As the new Living Guildpact, the Firemind now serves as a guardian of Ravnica itself.
