Akiri, Aki for friends, was a legendary kor soldier and ally from Zendikar.

History

Akiri once was the leader of a kor band, but she struck out on her own after an Eldrazi attack killed her comrades. After the awakening of Ulamog, she used her line-slinging expertise to safeguard travelers from the Eldrazi Titan. Among them was the merfolk Zareth San whom Akiri saved during the destruction of Sea Gate and who eventually became her companion and trusted friend.[1] Death wouldn't catch Akiri off-guard (or so she thought) — she believed preparation and self-reliance are the keys to survival in a hostile world, and they kept her alive for a while.[2]

Akiri and Zareth San apparently traveled with Nahiri to Murasa, before they collected a mysterious artifact that Nahiri used to defeat an elemental. In the aftermath, Akiri threatened to drop the artifact over a cliff. Using her lithomancy, Nahiri used a hedron to petrify Akiri, take back the artifact, and then push Akiri over the edge, apparently killing her.[3]
