- Gerrard Capashen is the protagonist of The Weatherlight Saga, the epic Magic storyline beginning with the Weatherlight expansion and continuing through Apocalypse.
- Gerrard was the final product of Urza's bloodline project, meaning his family line had been manipulated by Urza in order to create a perfect human who could stand against the Phyrexians and be the heir to Urza's Legacy.
- Gerrard was born into the Benalish Clan Capashen, but his family was murdered by Phyrexian raiders when he was just a little boy. The silver golem Karn, part of the Legacy himself and given to Clan Capashen by Urza to protect that bloodline, took the little boy to an ally of Urza, the Jamuraan warlord Sidar Kondo, who adopted the boy.

- Planeswalkers are among the most powerful beings in the multiverse, and are the thematic identities of the players of the game. Planeswalkers can be born at random in any sentient race, with no outward signs of their latent power. However, there is an incredibly remote chance that any given sentient, natural being will be born with a planeswalker's spark.
- Planeswalker card types were first introduced in Lorwyn. Like the player him or herself, a planeswalker card represents a powerful being that is able to move from plane to plane.
