Summary

Liliana Vess is a human planeswalker from the plane of Dominaria who specializes in necromancy. Born to a noble family of healers, she first encountered necromancy in a desperate attempt to save her sick brother, however her efforts backfired horribly and her brother became one of the undead. The trauma and guilt ignited her planeswalker spark, and she found herself on the plane of Innistrad. Over a century later, in a last-ditch effort to stave off her own death and preserve her power, she made a pact with four of the Multiverse's most powerful demons, the words of which remain etched upon her skin. Loathing servitude and her ever-increasing debts, Liliana now seeks to rid herself of her demonic overlords by killing them one by one, which led her to Shandalar and to the powerful Chain Veil, an ancient artifact of incredible power... power enough to take back her freedom. She has succeeded in killing two of her infernal masters with this weapon.

Later, after getting involved with the Gatewatch's efforts to save Innistrad from the Eldrazi titan Emrakul, she begrudgingly joined their ranks and with their help, killed another of the demons she was bound to on the plane of Amonkhet. Though she assisted the rest of the Gatewatch in attempt to save Amonkhet, when the final fight against Nicol Bolas was proven to be futile, she planeswalked away.
