Tiberius Emberhand I

King Tiberius Emberhand

Tiberius I was the first human monarch, mythically known for rallying orcs, humans and elves together, kickstarting the Emberhand dynasty and founding Fortressia. For some reason, most humans can't help but adore the chap.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tiberius has been described as a powerful, agile man who charged into battle with his men. Of course, given his pivotal role in human history, it is not surprising that all statues and texts about him depict him as something close to a demigod.

Mental characteristics

Education

Tiberius was a skilled strategist and a capable pyromancer, as his last battle showed. It is unknown where he acquired this sort of education, but some historians agree he had studied at the Keltirak Institute.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Tiberius Emberhand achieved so much during his life that he has reached a near universal legendary status among humans. He united three squabbling races to fight back against the Abyssian Invasions, founded Fortressia in record time during war, and became the first monarch to rule over different races. His dynasty lives on to this day.

Failures & Embarrassments

While not technically intentional, Tiberius's neglect and refusal to let Tacitus, his firstborn, inherit the throne indirectly provoked the foundation of the Backlash Cult, the greatest enemy his dynasty faces.

Aligned Organization

Emberhand Legion

"I've seen him, you know? Angry fella, always prattling about not wanting his brothers and sisters to be enslaved. Not too creative with names, either. But yes, he did know how to fight."

Mxievl, to Emperor Verusius II

"Leave it to humans to glorify a genocidal pyromaniac."

Spark

"Tiberius I was a great man. When even orcs historically praise a human, you know the man must have been truly great."
