Karona
Dubbed a "False God". She's a manifestation of all Dominaria's magic, who rose from the fusion of the demonic queen Phage and the angelic crusader Akroma.
Despite her near-unlimited power, she was initially naive of her surroundings, running away from the sentient beings who seem to be craving her awesome presence.
In an attempt to find her godly kin, Karona opened up five portals, one for each color of magic. While opening the Black portal, a dark realm was unveiled: the wreckage and remains of Phyrexia.
She was slain by two unlikely heroes, Ixidor's shadow servants, with Kamahl's Mirari Sword.
Upon her death, Karona was visited by Karn. He took her again to the plain of Argentum, where she was unmade and her true form returned into being. Karn revealed to her that she was a planeswalker. Karn left the living embodiment of the Mirari, Memnarch, in charge while he left with her to teach her the ways of the planeswalkers, or something to that effect. They've yet to return.

Karn
When Urza decided to travel back in time to meet the Thran and learn their secrets, he founded the Tolarian
Academy. He guided all manner of time-travel experiments, and constructed a mechanical being who became his primary tool for gathering data. He incorporated Xantcha's personality matrix into this sentient silver
golem, named Karn, so that it would learn and mature. As part of Gerrard’s Legacy, the Karn was charged with protecting the child Gerrard from harm. When he was tricked into killing an innocent man, Karn vowed never to take another life, no matter what the circumstances. A large number of the Legacy’s treasure were contained within the chest of Karn, waiting for Gerrard to come of age and use them. Unfortunately. Karn was inactivated by Vuel (Volrath) with the Touchstone. Consequently the treasures were stolen and dispersed. After spending years deactivated, Gerrard rediscovered Karn, who had been found by Sisay, in the hold of the
Weatherlight. With help of the Thran Tome, Karn is brought back to life. As the
Weatherlight arrived in Rath to rescue Sisay, they were immediately attacked by Volrath’s own ship, the
Predator. In moments the Weatherlight was overtaken by the Moggs, searching for the Legacy artifacts, including Karn. Maintaining his vow to never harm another living being, Karn offered no resistance and was hauled to the
Predator. Volrath imprisoned and tortured him by forcing him to break his vow never to injure or kill other beings. His cell was filled with moggs and its floor continuously undulated, causing him to stumble into the creatures and crushing them.
However, Karn was later rescued by the Weatherlight crew, escaping from Volrath's Stronghold. He would later go on to become an integral part of the resistance during the Invasion of Dominaria, providing wisdom for the Weatherlight crew. In the end, Karn sacrifices himself, fulfilling his piece of the Legacy Weapon and along with Gerrard and Urza, destroys Yawgmoth. However, while Gerrard and Urza were slain in the explosion, Karn ascends to Planeswalker status, absorbing the personalities of the many beings involved in the legacy (IE, Urza, Gerrard, Ramos, etc), which became voices in his head. He is the only artificial being to ever achieve this feat.
Karn, the planeswalker, creates the plane of Mirrodin and the creature Memnarch, though his presence is a mysterious one. It is also believed that he sends the Mirari back to Dominaria as a probe. Karn's current intentions and whereabouts in the novels are unknown.
