Alesha, Who Smiles At Death

"Greet death with sword in hand."
-Alesha, Who Smiles At Death

Alesha was a khan in the past of Tarkir. She ruled over the Mardu Horde 1,280 years ago with an iron fist and a steel blade. Seeing her charge into battle was enough to make warriors who were out of the fight rise up and enter the fray once more.
She was a transgender woman, taking her grandmother's name at 16 and becoming khan 3 years later.

Reign

Alesha was an expert rider, an accomplished archer, and a master of the sword. A charismatic and fearless leader, she inspired her followers by bringing out the best in them. Noting that not every war name must be a Backbreaker or Helmsmasher.
Following Kolaghan's invitation for the clan's warriors to keep up with the dragon in her travels, Alesha abolished the Mardu.
