History | The least known of the Dread Powers, for all his history of making things we fear. Timur became the General of the Dread Host early in the War and proved that he was a better strategist than Qetza, though not a better tactician. At his feet can be laid some of the greatest criminal acts of the entire war, including the slaughter of over a million innocent lives that were not involved in fighting, and shifting h the war to a scorched earth format. His whole is sundered at present, into three distinct parts, scattered about the cosmos that he helped build, each part aware but unable to come together. Timur does not know how it happened, for it happened so swiftly, that he never learned. He awaits restoration. |
Relations | Dislikes and does not trust Pallor. Gets offended when a woman challenges him. He mocks Mansa frequently and is glad that Belial and Mansa are no longer friendly. Timur is the Father of Hags, by way of Gaea. Timur is basically on everyone’s hit list for having killed Alfey. This includes his own; he too was once close to Alfey. |
Centers of Worship | Thyrs, Agartha have small Temples to him. He doesn’t like them, as they are not as well built and ostentatious as Belial’s, but he doesn’t say anything about it. He has no Manse outside of the Shadow Lands, though some whisper he has one in Antilia. |
Followers | Timur’s few dedicated followers are often in disarray and struggling as they are caught between the schemes of Pallor and the hubris of Belial, all while trying to serve a Power that doing the same thing and finds himself working at cross purposes with Pallor more often than he would like. |
Personality | Timur is handsome, pale man, with loosely curled white hair and eyes so light as to seem colorless. Standing seven feet tall, he has never smiled. For Timur the point of any confrontation is winning at any cost; he is not bothered by morals, ethics, or the right way. Timur is the brilliant mind that enables Belial’s dominance over the others when he is free. Timur once led an army in a battle on other lands of this world, and nothing walked away from that battle alive. He said, “that’ll do.” |
