==Summary==
Lord Tirek is the sixth main villain of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, acting as the main antagonist for the season four finale Twilight's Kingdom.
He easily one of the most dangerous entities in the whole series. Tirek is a centaur from a land far away from Equestria and possesses the ability to steal the magic of other beings. Returning from a long exile in Tartarus, he sets forth to absorb all magic in Equestria, which he failed to do millennia prior. Early on, he enlists help from Discord, who was initially sent to stop him, playing on the Draconequus' hubris to win him over. Knowing loyalty only to himself, Tirek is quick to betray Discord after regaining enough of his strength, eventually stealing even Equestria's Alicorn magic. However, shortly after achieving his goal, he is stopped and imprisoned once more by the newly released Rainbow Power.
He returned in the ninth and final season, acting as the final antagonist alongside Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.

Attack Potency: At least Multi-City Block level+ (Stronger than most fodder Ponies, which are typically depicted to be on Spike the Dragon's level) | At least Country level, likely Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Comparable to base Queen Chrysalis) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Was strong enough that he was confident in taking on the Alicorn Princesses, stomped Starswirl the Bearded and the other Pillars of Equestria) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Was strong enough that he felt confident in taking on Discord, who he then defeated) | Multiverse level+ (Was shown to be near equal to Twilight Sparkle when she encompassed the power of four Alicorns) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Multiverse Complex level (Absorbed all the Alicorn Magic for his own, basically doubling his already incredibly impressive power)
Speed: Subsonic (Four ponies could run at this speed) | Higher with Infinite combat, magic and travel speed (Comparable to base Queen Chrysalis, who can contend with a clone of Twilight) | Likely Infinite combat, magic and travel speed (Likely on par with the Alicorn Princesses) | Infinite combat, magic and travel speed (Equal to fully Alicorn powered Twilight) | Infinite combat, magic and travel speed
Lifting Strength: Likely Class K (Should be on par with an average Pony) | Class M, possibly Stellar | At least Stellar with telekinesis (Should be roughly on par with the Alicorns) | At least Stellar with telekinesis | At least Stellar with telekinesis | At least Stellar with telekinesis
Striking Strength: At least Multi-City Block level+ | At least Country level, likely Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level
Durability: At least Multi-City Block level+ | At least Country level, likely Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Roughly on par with base Chrysalis) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Had strength on par with the Alicorns) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Roughly on par with Discord) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Has his previous strength + Discord's, at least doubling his strength. Took Twilight's full power laser to the face) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level (Far more powerful than he was in his previous form)
Stamina: Average | High (Physically stronger than the likes of Rarity or Fluttershy, who fought with the Bugbear for hours, starting in the middle of the afternoon, to minutes before sundown) | Likely higher than before | Likely higher than before | Likely higher than before | Likely higher than before
Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range (A few meters) with magic | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level with magic | Far higher | Same as before, likely far higher | Several Meters physically (Due to size), Multiverse level+, possibly Low Complex Multiverse level with magic | Same as previous, likely even farther
Standard Equipment: None notable
*Optional Equipment: The Bewitching Bell
Intelligence: Gifted (Incredibly clever and manipulative, was able to manipulate Discord, who was able to do the same to the Mane 6. Along with Chrysalis and Cozy Glow, he was able to bypass the Canterlot Castle's improved security system without notice and turn the three Pony tribes against each other. He also conspired with Cozy Glow to help her drain Equestria of all its magic. However, his arrogance and short temper can leave him vulnerable, as Discord was able to trick him into firing a blast that ricocheted and freed Starlight Glimmer)
Standard Tactics: Tirek will typically try to steal his opponent's magic if they have any. If the opponent puts up resistance, he will try to beat them down to absorb their magic. His main offensive ability is to fire a beam of magic from between his horns. Tirek has been known to banish foes with no magic to absorb to Tartarus, though he did not attempt this in the season 9 finale. As shown with Discord and Twilight, he may attempt bargaining with or manipulating his foes if he is unable to defeat them, tricking Discord into allying with him only to later betray him and threatening to harm Twilight's friends to get her to surrender. As shown in the season 9 finale, he may use a ground pound to create a shockwave to disable his foes if he is outnumbered and overwhelmed. After draining a foe of magic, Tirek typically imprisons them or ignores them, not viewing them as a threat.
Weaknesses: He can only steal magic from living beings, seems to have trouble absorbing magic from stronger opponents (Was unable to absorb Chrysalis's magic until she willingly gave it to him, waited until he was in his fourth state before trying to drain Discord of his magic, and made no attempt to drain Grogar of his magic). He is also rather arrogant and short-tempered. His weakest form also seems to be more vulnerable to the cold than his later forms, as he was briefly seen shivering after being reverted to his weakest state and exposed to the open air
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Energy Blasts: Tirek fires a red blast of energy from in between his horns. This is a natural ability he can do even in his weakest form without needing to absorb any magic at all, as he was seen preparing to attack Sombra with it after being freed from Tartarus before absorbing any magic. In his third form, he gains the ability to fire energy from his hands as well.
*Magic Absorption: Tirek sucks all of a foe's magic out of their body through his mouth, increasing his power. After stealing enough power, he gains a new form. In his first form, he is only able to steal magic from beings who primarily use it, such as Unicorns, but from his second form onwards, he gains the ability to steal natural and less potent magic from other beings such as Pegasi and Earth Ponies. He can drain magic from dozens of beings at once. He can also use his telekinesis from his second form onward to paralyze a target to make this much easier. He mainly uses it as a source of raw power rather than gaining the innate abilities of those he drains. Frenemies reveals that he can only take magic from other living beings and that he can return magic to whoever he has taken it from if he so chooses.
*Earth Manipulation: Tirek stomps the ground and creates rocky structures to attack his foes. He needs to be in his third form to do this. In his fourth and final form, this ability is far greater, enabling Tirek to create multiple and far larger ones at once by smashing the ground with his fists, as shown in his battle with Twilight.
*Shockwave Generation: Tirek pounds the ground and creates a shockwave.
Note: It has been confirmed that the Sun of Equestria is the same size as our own, even though it revolves around the Earth.
