Kasmina

Kasmina is the leader of an ancient, secret order of Planeswalkers, a shadowy cabal with mysterious aims. Her larger goals are unknown, but her recent obsession is recruitment. Her prefered method is identifying what she calls "embers" - mages who possess a Planeswalker spark that has not yet ignited. She helps them discover their potential (even if it means causing a little trauma to force the spark to ignite), then indoctrinates them into the ways of her order.

It is clear Kasmina is preparing for a looming conflict, which she believes will make the battle against Nicol Bolas seem like a trivial squabble over petty [stakes?]. Despite her best efforts though, her activities are beginning to draw the attention of other Planeswalkers, and it seems that some kind of confrontation with the Gatewatch - Planeswalkers who believe in putting their magical abilities to good use - is inevitable.

I mean, it sort of has to relate back to the Gatewatch on some level eventually. They are Magic's brand "avengers."

She's evil because she's traumatising teenagers so she can turn them into slaves/peons/whatever. That is pretty immoral even if its for the greater good.

I seriously doubt forced conscriptors are justifiable when less violent means like explaining what is going on work better. The Gatewatch are annoying but at least they hire consenting adults.

By what moral authority is the Gatewatch acting?

That's all a matter of perspective.
The greater good often comes at terrible costs.

Which we assume...

Some people's hatred of the Gatewatch made them into things far worse than they are.

You know what happens when you do that.

I really don't think it's cool to throw out insinuations of acceptance of "child soldiers" based on your reading of a very brief character blurb that in no way mentions children.

That's all a matter of perspective.
The greater good often comes at terrible costs.
