Gix - Compleated

Perhaps Gix had died that day—the old Gix—but a new man was born. A new monster.

He charged at the head of that surging company of Phyrexians. Commander Gix held his head high, a head now a third larger than it had been. The change had begun shortly after his Phyrexian heart stone had been implanted. Even as his skin grew healthy again, his tangled locks of hair had fallen out. Beneath it, skin and skull both had grown outward. The change at first had frightened him, but a voice within assured there was nothing to fear. Skin and skull grew to allow his brain to grow as well. A newfound clarity of thought seemed to confirm this belief. Suddenly, the whole insane world had come clear to him. Even as his skull had settled into its current, striated form, his mind had settled his devotion to Yawgmoth, his glimpse of the master’s vision, his delight in his work.
