Tyreus

Tyreus was an archmage from the world of Ravnica who came to Faerûn in search of the Stone of Creation during the late 15 century DR.

"He's only out for himself. He's a powerful mage already, but he cannot see himslef or others well enough to recognize how dangerous he is. What a waste."

- Morwena Veilmist.

Description
Tyreus had light skin.

Personality
The powerful mage was heavily motivated by the death of his parents, and his helplessness to protect them. Over time, he came to believe himself as the apex of arcane power.

While he was spiteful, selfish, and self-important, Tyreus believed himself supremely clever.

He viewed locales as potential conquests or other resources merely as a means to an end.

Abilities
Tyreus was extraordinarily ambitious and arrogante. He sought to accumulate enough magical power to fulfill the grand destiny he believed he was due.

Activities
In defiance of his father's wishes, Tyreus began studying arcane magic as a teenager.

At the height of his power, Tyreus spent much of his time searching for the 'keystones of creation', fragments of an artifact, once owned by his grandmother.

Relationships
Tyreus was the son of Ayraea and Tyberio, and grandson of Sylvene, a planewalker originally from Ravnica. While he was devastated by their deaths, Tyreus also blamed them for preventing him from studying arcane magic earlier in life.

At some point, Tyreus placed a geas on the elemental spirit named Exul, and treated the extraplanar being as his personal minion.

For a brief time, Tyreus formed a tenuous partnership with the Red Wizard, Morwena. She attempted to convince Tyreus they could acquire power together, but quickly learned the archmage was only focused on his own ends. Unfortunately, the two never developed any real trust with each other.

History
While he secretly began studying magic in his youth, Tyreus truly devoted himself to the arcane arts after tragedy struck his family. A plague struck a region of Ravnica, and both Ayraea and Tyberio passed away.

At some point during the late 15 century, Tyreus and Exul traveled to the Wizard's Barrow in the High Moor in search of a great tome bound in white leather. His exploits attracted the attention of several Red Wizards, Morwena, and her apprentice Malivar. The two groups encountered each other and Morwena abandoned her fellow Thayan to travel along with Tyreus. They recovered the tome and left to one of Tyreus' secluded sanctums.

After returning to a secluded demiplane once formed by Tyreus' grandmother, the archmage flew into a fit of rage and slew Seero, one of the plane's caretakers. Morwena and Tyreus parted ways, as their goals no longer aligned with each other. Tyreus stole away a small collection of books and abandoned his one-time ally.

Tyreus' journey took him to the Sylvene's familial crypt, in search of her powerful magics, then to Highstar Lake.
