Across the vast Multiverse of Dominia, countless Planes exist, with only a handful possessing any knowledge that other universes exist.
Among the races of these worlds, 1 in 1,000,000,000 might possess what has commonly been referred to as "the Spark". What the Spark is is not exactly understood. Some believe it to be a dormant genetic trait, while other believe it to be a connection to the Æther possessed from birth. Whatever it is, most who possess it never know they have it, and die without it ever flaring.
Those rare few of the rare few whose Sparks have flared gain the ability to breach the planar barriers to the Æther. Most being, excluding the Eldrazi, would be torn apart, mentally spiritually and physically. Those who possess the Spark however can exist for a period of time without feeling the effects of pure potential bearing down on them. The are known as Planeswalkers.
Before the Mending, Planeswalkers gained the same power of potential that the Æther, becoming near omnipotent being who can change shape, have near unlimited access to Mana, and an unlimited Lifespan. These Demigods had heralded creation and destruction across the multiverse, and had been the primary movers of some of the most historical events on many planes, especially Dominaria.
Pre-Mending Planeswalkers; * Altair of Coloni (dead) * Ash Warlord Embereck (unconfirmed) * Azar (alive) * Bolar (unconfirmed) * Bo Levar (dead) * Commodore Guff (dead) * Daria (dead) * Dakkon Blackblade (unconfirmed) * Drabk, the Sharak of Okbra (unconfirmed) * Dyfed (dead) * Eskil the White (unconfirmed) * Faralyn (dead) * Fatima (unconfirmed) * Feroz (dead) * Fiers (unconfirmed) * Freyalise (dead) * Geyadrone Dihada (unconfirmed) * Grenfell Mor of Golthonor (unconfirmed) * Jaya Ballard (unconfirmed) * Jeska (dead) * Jared Carthalion (unconfirmed) * Karn (unconfirmed) * Kazz (unconfirmed) * Kenan Sahrmal (dead) * Krimon (unconfirmed) * Kristina of the Woods (dead) * Leshrac (dead) * Liana of Minorad (unconfirmed) * Liliana Vess (alive) * Lord Windgrace (unconfirmed) * Manatarqua (dead) * Marduk Blackwater (unconfirmed) * Meshuvel (unconfirmed) * Nailah (unconfirmed) * Nicol Bolas (alive) * Parcher (unconfirmed) * Platon (unconfirmed) * Rafthrasa (unconfirmed) * Ravi or Grandmother Sengir (alive) * Ravidel (unconfirmed) * Sandruu (unconfirmed) * Serra (Unconfirmed) * Slobad (unconfirmed) * Sorin Markov (alive) * Taysir of Rabiah (dead) * Teferi (unconfirmed) * Tempe (unconfirmed) * Tevesh Szat (dead) * The Ancients (dead) * The Creator of the plane that became Phyrexia (dead) * Thomil (unconfirmed) * Thorn (unconfirmed) * Tolgath (alive) * Urza (dead) * Vram (unconfirmed) * Worzel (unconfirmed) * Yawden (unconfirmed) * Zakk (unconfirmed)
After the Mending that healed not only the Rifts in time and space on Dominaria, but every magical wound in the multiverse (such as the Glamour that held Lorwyn in centuries of daylight) Many have said that this had also changed the problem that cause much of these wounds; the massive amount of power granted to Planeswalkers. Many also believe that the change to the Spark occured naturally, as Radha of Keld and Venser of Urborg both possessed the new Spark before Jeska had completed the Mending.
These new walkers are bound to mana ties in the land just like mortal wizards, have natural lifespands (unless altered otherwise) and must put forth much more effort to perform a Planeswalk.
Post-Mending Planeswalkers; * Ajani Goldmane (alive) * Baltrice (dead) * Chandra Nalaar (alive) * Elspeth Tirel (alive) * Garruk Wildspeaker (alive) * Gideon Jura (alive) * Jace Beleren (alive) * Liliana Vess (Alive) * Masrath (unconfirmed) * Nicol Bolas (alive) * Nissa Revane (alive) * Radha (unconfirmed) * Sarkhan Vol (alive) * Sorin Markov (alive) * Tessebik (unconfirmed) * Tezzeret (alive) * Venser (unconfirmed)
There have been many beings thought to be Planeswalkers, but are either extraordinarily powerful wizards, avatars, gods, or some other being. The Following is a List of Non-Planeswalkers; * the Eldrazi * Gaea * Hazezon Tamar * Karona * Lord Ith * Marit Lage * Mishra * the Myojin of Night's Reach * the Weatherlight * Titania * Yawgmoth

Altair of Coloni, also known as the "White Mage" was a planeswalker of white magic from the Plains of Coloni on Corondor on Dominaria.
He helped build and was a member of the council of mages that gathered in Minorad. He agreed not to interfere with Ravidel's plans, but Ravidel cast a spell preventing him from using his planeswalker powers. In 1281 by the Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad, he and Caliphear the Nightmare destroyed the wizard Coldraith, who accidentally removed Ravidel's curse. To repay Caliphear, he agreed to be her slave for ten years. However, he joined Jared Carthalion and Kristina of the Woods in opposing Ravidel and seeking to destroy the Golgothian Sylex only ten months after Coldraith was killed. Altair battled Ravidel at the Dueling Chasm of Golthonor, and was reportedly killed.

The Ash Warlord Embereck was a red mana planeswalker native to Dominaria, specifically from Hammerheim. He fought Ravidel over the resurfaced Golgothian Sylex shortly after the Ice Age in the ruins of a city on Terisiare. Some sort of bargain was struck, and Ravidel left in possession of the Sylex. Later he helped created the council of Minorad. He left this council after they decided not to interfere with Ravidel.

Azar was an adept, pupil of the planeswalker Kenan Sahrmal on the plane of Shandalar. After a great spell gone awry, Lim-Dûl's spirit was trapped in Azar's body. Trapped in the same body the two spirits fought for control. Convinced that it would be forever so, Sahrmal secretly buried the body. The existence of the Great Barrier depended on the continued confinement of Lim-Dul. In time, Lim-Duls powerful spirit won out over that of the fatally inexperienced Azar. Emerging from the secret graveyard, he once again attempted to bend Shandalar to his will but was defeated soundly, though the lord of the Black Guild also fell. The Guardian removed Lim-Dul’s spirit from Azar’s former body and imprisoned it again, this time in a magical artifact, thus keeping the Great Barrier in existence. Though it now had been emptied of both spirits, Azar’s body had been exposed to far too much magic to lie still. Now numbered among the undead, it rose of it’s own accord and stepped in to command the Black Guild, taking the name Lichlord Skavius Slan.

Bolar was a shaman from the city of Kjeld. He was part of Sir Zaraya’s band to help the Marked Ones, and befriended them during the mission. He recognized the planeswalker Kristina of the Woods when she appeared for Freyalise’s World Spell.
He was an 'aspiring planeswalker', and took a form that was mostly human, except for pointed ears a a set of miniature arms growing from his chest.

Bo Levar lived a full mortal life as Crucias, a naval man with an entrepreneurial streak that caused him to quickly fall out of favor with his commanding officers. Discharged from a military career, Crucias became a privateer until a liaison with a governor's daughter bore him a daughter. He chose to start life over as a merchant, using his wealth to dote upon his daughter Nunnieve. She eventually became ill and died, causing Crucias to drink himself into a stupor before building a ship in her honor, which cost him more than he had. To settle his debt, he became a part-time tour guide to the shores of Argoth where Urza and Mishra fought until he and his ship were caught in the explosive aftermath of The Brothers War, when he became a planeswalker.
During the Phyrexian Invasion, Bo Levar was chosen to pilot one of Urza's titans during his assault on Phyrexia.
When Yawgmoth was attacking Dominaria, Bo Levar convinced Commodore Guff to rewrite the outcome of the war. He then sacrificed himself to save an area of water that was home to many merfolk that called themselves the Elliterates.

Commodore Guff was a very old planeswalker and an avid and eccentric chronicler of knowledge that lived in a hidden library on Dominaria. This library contained every book ever written, including the books that hold the destiny of the multiverse. So great was his love of books, that he even possessed the books in which he appeared, successfully breaking the fourth wall as he was aware he was a character in a book. He joined Urza on his crusade against Phyrexia as one of the Nine Titans, even though he knew Phyrexia would win. Bo Levar discovered Guff had this knowledge, and convinced him to change it. Guff apparently erased the important parts, since Phyrexia lost the invasion, but was killed by Yawgmoth in his death-cloud form in a matter of seconds.

Daria was a young human girl from Ulgrotha whose planeswalker's spark triggered early in life. An orphan, she was adopted and apprenticed by Taysir, after he was reborn.
Resurrected by Ravidel. She may or may not be the same persona as Liana of Minorad.
She was the first to arrive on Corondor for the Planeswalker War, which she survived, and in fact helped convince Jared Carthalion to ascend. She and Taysir later joined Urza's Nine Titans. Daria was killed in Phyrexia when Tevesh Szat betrayed the titans.

Dakkon Blackblade was an ancient planeswalker who was forced into the service of Geyadrone Dihada. He was also referred to as the "Shadow Slayer" and "Dakkon the Avenger".
As a mortal, Dakkon was a master blacksmith and a warrior. One day he was visited by the planeswalker Geyadrone Dihada, who offered to make him a planeswalker if he would make her the the most powerful blade in existance, the Blackblade. He agreed and she shared with him the secret sorceries required to make the sword a soul-drinker, a blade capable of stealing the energy of those it killed. Dakkon claimed to have stood at his anvil every day for ten years, cooling the blade by killing a slave with it after each time he heated it. Finally the blade was completed, and Dakkon could not help but test it. He waded into battle and with each kill felt his strength grow. So ferocious was his assult that as tales spread of his slaughter, his name became Dakkon Blackblade. Dihada returned when she heard these stories and did make him a planeswalker, having sensed the spark within him when they first met, but immediately afterwards that she stabbed the sword into Dakkon's shadow and absorbed his soul, but not his life. Dakkon was left wandering the plane, wondering why Dihada would grant him so much power only to make him her enemy.
Many years later, Dihada began a war on Corondor. A young thief from the fallen kingdom of Carth fell to Dihada and was imprisoned within her dungeons. With the help of a monk in the same cell, the young man escaped. The boy (known as the Son of Carth) used the Amulet of Ti-Fu to bind himself to Dakkon, robbing Dakkon of the ability to planeswalk away. Dakkon was not so easily won over though, and attacked Carth, intent on slaying him and ending his servitude, but the amulet protected Carth and left Dakkon with no choice but to serve. Serve he did, happily, when he learned of Carth's enemy, Dihada herself. Dihada heard of the two, and sent her corrupted Maro-Sorcerer, Sol’Kanar, to slay the pair. Unfortunately her plans did not go as she anticipated and Dakkon slayed the nature spirit. Dihada made herself known then, laughing as the combatants fought for her pleasure. She summoned the Elder Dragons Piru and Chromium Rhuell to attack Dakkon, considering Carth below her notice. Carth managed to sneak close enough to reclaim the Blackblade. Dakkon used his power to banish Chromium immediately, but this enraged Piru so much that their battle ripped the ground apart, creating the Dueling Chasm of Golthonor.
This was all exactly as Dihada had planned, as she absorbed the power of Piru's soul and took on her true demonic visage. She then revealed to Carth that the monk that had set Carth upon his quest was none other than Dihada herself. The entire thing had been an elaborate plot to empower her with Piru's soul, but she was abruptly cut off as Dakkon struck at her. Unfortunately Dakkon's great power paled and Dihada left her mark on him, saying he would serve for all eternity. Dakkon cursed the boy for having ever summoned him in the first place, but Carth had seen something Dakkon had missed. Dakkon's shadow had returned. Dakkon, Bearer of the Blackblade
He and the boy travelled to Terisiare, where the boy started the Carthalion legacy, named after Dakkon's nickname for the boy, "Carth the Lion". After the boy died, Dakkon probably served as Dihada’s main warrior. Ages later, Dihada and Dakkon were present during the Planeswalkers' War of Corondor. One of the key players during this war was Jared Carthalion, the last surviving member of the Carthalions, but it is unknown how Dakkon interacted with him, what his other actions in the war were, or even if he survived.
A undisclosed time later an undead being named Korlash claimed the Blackblade, but it hasn't been revealed yet if he did so before or after becoming a zombie.

Drabk, the Sharak of Okbra, lives alone sometimes near the shrine and is sometimes seen in the City of Okbra. He has the knowledge of the beyond and the knowledge beyond thought. He is known to have worked miracles. He knows the past and the future.

Dyfed was the Thran planeswalker that showed Yawgmoth Phyrexia for the first time.
One day Dyfed visited Glacian, the master artificer of the Thran Empire and a latent planeswalker himself, wanting to meet the genius in real life. Yawgmoth, then the most important healer of the empire, walked in on the meeting and managed to talk Dyfed into aiding him. Dyfed agreed to find a plane where Yawgmoth could build his own paradise. Sometime later, as Yawgmoth amassed more and more power, but also drove the empire to war with the people of nations he had harmed in the past, Dyfed opened a permanent portal from Dominaria to Phyrexia, the metal plane which Yawgmoth wanted to make his paradise.
However, at the same time Dyfed was starting to see aiding Yawgmoth was a mistake. Rebbec and Glacian convinced her to rescue the elders of the empire, whom Yawgmoth had imprisoned. She took them, along with a number of goblin servants, to the plane of Mercadia, where they would become the ancestors of the Mercadians, and the Kyren.
Dyfed then planeswalked to Phyrexia, where she met with Yawgmoth, claiming to be there to put an end to his plans. Yawgmoth stabbed her in the skull with a powerstone blade that scrambled her brain, preventing her from defending herself and from switching off her immortality or planeswalking away. Thus Yawgmoth had his minions vivisect her, hoping to find an organ that allowed for planeswalking and have it transplanted into himself. However, before any such organ could be discovered, Rebbec found the tortured planeswalker and removed the powerstone from her skull, allowing her to die.

Eskil was the guardian of the White Woods, the great-great-grandson of Archmage Xarl Angel-Keeper and Eska from Golthonor, and the adopted son of the wizard that corrupted the angel Trine.
He summoned the Serra Angel Rahel to fight Trine and free northern Corondor. When Trine's blood splashed him, he was blinded, his skin and hair were bleached white, and he ascended. He thereafter styled himself "Eskil the White."
As a planeswalker, he saved the people of Golthonor during the Blackblade-Dihada War. He settled in, and became the guardian of, the White Woods, where he was Mangara's mentor.

Faralyn was the planeswalker that turned the Elder Dragon Vaevictus Asmodi into a dragon whelp and recruited the dragon Rhuell after it left Geyadrone Dihada’s forces. Faralyn took Ravidel as his spellsquire because Ravidel's parents couldn’t handle his magical powers.
The three were trapped in the Shard of the Twelve Worlds. Faralyn joined Freyalise in her study of the Shard, but thought of a different plan than Freyalise's. He organized the Summit of the Null Moon, hoping that the discord amongst the planeswalkers gathered there would flare and one of them would be killed. Instead of planeswalkers, Rhuell and Ravidel died, which provided enough energy for Faralyn to escape the Shard to Shandalar.
Faralyn's freedom did not last long, as he was quickly slain by an astral dragon summoned by Kenan Sahrmal.

Fatima was considered even by planeswalker standards to be insane. She constructed the City of Brass on her home plane of Rabiah, as well as the Brass Men to keep her company before the Thousand-fold Refraction. the City of Brass blazes with her fury over the men who wanted to control her.

Feroz was a planeswalker that thought the use of summoned beings was immoral. He studied cultures across the multiverse, and journeyed to Ulgrotha, where he befriended the Anaba minotaur Sandruu. Later, when the two were fighting off a Root Spider, he met Serra, whom he eventually married. They went to the An-Havva Inn and met Baron Sengir, and were invited to his home, Castle Sengir, and told not to interfere with his plans. Feroz and Serra ignored this warning and helped the Ulgrothan people defend themselves against Baron Sengir.
They settled on Ulgrotha, and Feroz founded his Wizards' School, where he helped Sandruu ascend. In the guise of Porrin, he taught the Beastwalkers how to change shape.
After Feroz had to banish the planeswalker Taysir, the enemy of Sandruu, he created Feroz's Ban, a magical force field, to restore the plane and protecting it from other planeswalkers. Feroz later died during an accident in his laboratorium. After his death Serra left the plane and the Ban started to weaken.
