Tibost Fyth

== Overview ==
Tibost Fyth was a male member of the Ruling Family Fyth, notable for his rivalry with his sibling (and eventual patriarch) Norgoux Fyth. Having had an amicable relationship with his parents, upon Eldor Fyth's death he notably increased his criticism of his brother for seemingly taking advantage of the situation in order to secure his position as Patriarch in the upcoming 184 AG plebiscite. During Norgoux's reign, he collaborated with the likes of Manton Fisher, and then Forkoux Fyth to bring his brother down, and beyond his brother's death and Forkoux's ascension to the Patriarchship of the Kingdom in 189 AG, he lived out the rest of his life peacefully with his wife, Mariyson Fyth.

Tibost had sagging skin in his old age, grey hair and distinctly grey eyes with a beard. He stood at 5 feet 11, and was of a modest build.
== Biography ==
From his early life, Tibost frequently fought with his brother, Norgoux. An intelligent but short tempered individual, Tibost resented his brother's constant provocation. Indeed, as the two grew older Norgoux was keen to brag of his success with acquiring a lover in Heroux Fyth, and further that Norgoux had his first children in 165 AG - before Tibost's. Unperturbed by such petty rivalry from his brother, he eventually married Helmontan, Mariyson. A few years after, in 175 AG, he fathered his first and only child, Stanryth III Fyth. 
Tibost was unsurprised by Heroux and Norgoux's divorce in that same year, seeing Heroux as a victim of Norgoux's aims to populate the family with more of his offspring than Tibost's, and thought very much the same regarding his 181 AG marriage to Shackschogorth Fyth. 
When Eldor Fyth, their father, died in 184 AG, Tibost offered his candidacy with Mariyson as Matriarch to contend with Norgoux and Shackschogorth. Eventually, Shackschogorth's appeal with Helmontans proved to be beneficial to Norgoux's hopes, securing him and his newlywed wife rule over Helmont. During his early rule, Tibost was known to be very critical of him, and began to communicate and meet with increasing frequency with the newly appointed High Confidant, Manton Fisher, with both expressing their doubts about his conduct. Indeed, this was best laid bare in his handling of the Breakout of Ensom Citadel Prison in 185 AG.
Indeed, upon the arrival of Forkoux Fyth and subsequent relationship with Vaioria Fyth in 186 AG, Tibost commended the young Euphratuman's 187 AG critique of Norgoux, and began, along with Manton, to meet with Shackschogorth, who had begun to express her doubts. 
Knowing what happened to Heroux, Tibost recognised much of what Shackschogorth was describing of his brother. Accordingly, Tibost left it to Manton to advise the young Matriarch, who eventually began to become swayed as the years of their rule advanced. When confidence in Norgoux had hit an all time low, Tibost personally confided in her, expressing how that should she emancipate herself by rejecting Norgoux's disasterous rule through divorcing him. Indeed, recognising the moral force of this, and wanting to prove Norgoux's perception of his wives wrong, she diroved him in 189 AG. Tibost elected not to stand, instead focusing his support for Forkoux and Vaioria. Shortly after their ascension to Patriarch and Matriarch, Norgoux suffered a fatal stroke and died, with Vaioria herself committing suicide the following day, to which Tibost felt sadness when reflecting upon the fact that his brother spent the majority of his life in a petty pursuit to upstage him, contemplating what could have been - in spite of Norgoux's consistent hatred for his brother.
In their later life, Tibost and Mariyson spent time supporting Forkoux further, particularly in the Uprootings conflict, even agreeing with him advising his son, Stanryth III Fyth, to move out of Helmont Castle with his new wife, Uealia Erazeg, only when the conflict had concluded. Tibost died a peaceful death in 206 AG, at the age of 73.
