Wow! That's a really bad legendary creature! It's not even +1/1 for BR

Flavor fail. Sounds more like white/black or white/red. Red/black is the last combination I would expect to care about atonement.

Am I missing something? The flavor is the exact opposite of the mechanics.

Terrible, and yet still better than Kasmir, the Lone Wolf who is just as epic-fail as this guy, but without the expensive firebreathing.
Yep, I have no idea what this card was supposed to represent.

Now, if it was ": +2/+1" than it would be a flavorful mix of firebreathing and Shade's form. Give it a reasonable form of evasion, like fear, and then you have a pretty cool and unique guy that is actually worth a damn.

He helps those in greatest need. With expensive firebreathing.

That flavour text sort of confounds me.
It talks about how Pavel helps those in need, and yet Red and Black are the opposite contrasting colours of White, the generic colour for helping and being a good person, right?
It does, however, say that he may have an obligation to atone, but then again, why isn't White spliced in this card? As well, the effect he has isn't even very helpful in terms of what the flavour describes. It's just flaming-puke breathing, and when has that ever helped anyone?
Something tells me that there was a Troll working at WotC, and when they were finished making their White priest legend with "(w): gain 1 life", the Troll changed the colours and effect, but left the flavour.
Oh you crafty, crafty trolls. Who would've known that they have existed before the internet.

Yeah, he's pretty darn bad, but I maintain that the worst part about him is that name....

I think this guy is wierdly supposed to be like The Specter or something--the Specter's hosts anyway.
He's an evil murderous villain. That's what he's eventually going to atone for, after he's done killing you.
More than likely, since I heard that D&D characters inspired this set's cards largely, they (Designers) were thinking of the very intricate morality system.
I bet they'd call this guy "Lawful Evil" or "Chaotic Neutral", and that's how he got non-White in his colors. Because showing how bad he is over-rides showing his *intention*/need to atone that may not reflect any actual deeds done yet, and there are no Enemy Three Colored creatures yet because the game was so young they didn't really trust us with even thinking about enemy colored creatures much, and there weren't any good ways to make enemy mana in between Alpha and...I think Ravnica.
Alright that's probably exaggeration, and definitely more effort exerted into justifying this card that his stats really warrant. But at least I can say I tried. That's the closest anyone will come to explaining the card, and if it's not good enough for you, then everyone else is right and it's just a flavor fail :P

I get the feeling there's a hidden image. Like the old/young woman drawing.
