Tiberius

His is a tale of charm and daring — heroic feats backed by deadly prowess. A traveler of the Realm looking for worthy foes to test his mettle, sharpening his skills and weapons alike. Adored by the people, feared in battle — Tiberius, The Weapons-Master, knows no equal!

Born of the Tigron, Tiberius is the pinnacle of their values. A dashing legend — bold, brash, and relentless — anointed by an ancient blade, destined for battles that are nothing short of legendary.

With Chakrams, forged by the weapon-smiths of his ancestors; and a sword, forged from the heavens themselves — an ancient artifact capable of banishing unspeakable evils from this world — he is ready for any threat! Tiberius is exhilarated by the opportunity to match blades with a worthy foe. Snarling, he charges headlong into the fray, unleashing an unrelenting storm of steel, claw, and fang.

Having mastered the chakrams of his people when he was young, Tiberius stands as the pinnacle of tigron values. Adored by all and feared in battle, Tiberius journeyed through the Realm searching for foes to test his skills. Though he won every battle, he was also searching for something else; a legend of the sword that had no master. Eventually, he would find the blade in an ancient temple as it called out for a hero when the village of Seris was destroyed. Tiberius trained with the blade, it becoming something more than a weapon, but an ally.

When the Abyssal Lord Raum appeared in the Realm and began causing chaos, Tiberius stepped up to stop the beast. Using his sword of the heavens capable of banishing unspeakable evils, the two sides fought to a draw; Raum's rampage temporarily halted.

[Lore]

Tiberius' fight with Raum ended in a draw, with Tiberius having pushed Raum back and temporarily stopped his rampage. Their battle occurred in early winter. Tiberius' sword is a legendary blade that was forged an incredibly long time ago before slumbering for millennia in an ancient temple; eventually reawakened and called out for a hero as the village of Seris was destroyed. The sword has also been implied to be sapient. Tiberius had been searching for his sword for a long time. Tiberius mastered his chakrams when he was young. Tiberius, and tigrons, in general, have links to Ascension Peak and the Tau-Kor Monastery, though what exactly this entails was never elaborated on. Tiberius was once described as being "vaguely aligned with the Resistance", though it was eventually clarified that Tiberius was more or less specifically battling Raum alongside the Resistance around the time of their battle, as Raum being summoned by Corvus had led to Raum being more associated with the Magistrate. Maeve and Tiberius have no connection or relationship whatsoever aside from being part of the same species. The card that shows them together is just Maeve unsuccessfully attempting to rob him, as well as where her affinity for knives began. Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Tiberius would be around 6'4 or 195cm tall.
