Tybalt Weiss

"*Family, that is why I do this. You don't understand but the truth is. Tybalt Weiss was the first of my victims. On that day he was the first Weiss to fall, yet I will not let his sacrifice or the sacrifice of those close to him be in vain. I will arise in divine flame and finally close the tale of the Weiss family that has been penned in blood for far too long.*"
—Tybalt Weiss

**Tybalt Weiss** (Τημπάλτ Γουάϊς), also known as the **Lord of Ash**, or **Tybalt One-Eye**, is the greatest lieutenant of Yuki, and the former Lord of House Weiss, making him the uncle of Kader Weiss. After secretly instigating the events of the Tragedy at Kingspyre, he became directly involved with the Pact of the Shattered Star.

## Appearance

### Human Form

"*You're frail, Tybalt. You can't protect anyone, let alone yourself.*"
—Caius Weiss in his youthly spat with Tybalt

At birth, Tybalt was said to be half the size his older brother Caius. Growing up Tybalt was considered to be slightly abnormal for a Weiss, He was gaunt and almost sickly, his skin as pale as a corpse whilst his hair looked as though it belonged to a dying person, an off-pink colour near his scalp that blended into white. Despite these conditions it was said that Tybalt had the most striking eyes of any Weiss, his eyes a deep violet that burned with a desire for life. As Tybalt blossomed into a man, the only striking change was the colour of life returning to his cheeks which perhaps could be explained by his habit of smiling, something he would always do whenever found following his sister. However he stopped smiling shortly after the wedding of Caius and Diarella, his older sister.

After beginning his ritual of dragon drinking, Tybalt's body underwent a massive development that changed his stature greatly. Growing seven inches in height as well as his frame widening, now Tybalt could be considered a tall, intimidating and brawny male who is akin to a different person compared to what he once was.

### Half-Draconic Form

"*You'll have to burn hotter than that if you wish to stop me.*"
—Tybalt Weiss

Having taken to the art of dragon drinking along with his skill in Sorcery, Tybalt has acquired the ability to shift into a hybrid of man and dragon; In his Draconic form, Tybalt was an extremely unusual specimen, having a distinct, reptilian appearance. However, his posture was closer to that of a human's; Growing in height to a rather intimidating 2.14m, Dark grey scales covered a large part of his body, growing on his upper torso, shoulders, limbs, and groin. Whilst his facial bone structure changed to a more elongated and almost armour-like appearance. He lacked ears yet had multiple rows of teeth. Upon his back often folded were a pair of wings that had a wingspan of 1.5m.

### Full Draconic Take-over

**Tybalt**: "*Each beat of my wings is a thunderclap, each breath a hurricane. I am a dragon taken human form. Who are you to demand orders of me?*"
**Yuki**: "*A bird who flies higher..*"
— Ever after his ascension, Tybalt is still no match for Yuki.
In the early hours of the Unsung War Tybalt Weiss was partly successful in his quest to alter his form to that of a dragon. The form, though unstable was the closest one could claim to being a true copy of the forces of nature that are dragons. His form measured with an intimidating wingspan of 46 meters and an overall body length of 37 meters.

## Personality

**Caius**: "*The "second child" act is getting pretty stale, Brother.*"
**Tybalt**: "*Try it from my point of view, Brother. Always running after your mistakes, caring for Diarella when you yourself are too busy sitting on a chair that by honour is too damned good for you.*"
**Caius**: "*Poor you. Too busy hiding in my shadow to escape from it.*"
**Tybalt**: "*...*"
— The usual argument between the twin dragons.

Tybalt's childhood was a product of the times he lived in: the Weiss family losing more and more of its standing made him a perfectionist that would keep at something until he mastered it, and his triumphs academically made him proud and haughty of his abilities. Whenever one of these personality traits was challenged, as they tended to be by Caius, Tybalt's competitive streak would emerge. Tybalt's slow descent into darkness, came about when his sister Diarella was forced to wed his older brother Caius, a fact that Tybalt never got over as he regressed into a quiet and sad man, becoming bitter towards everything. Despite this during his time as a Sentinel to House Weiss, Tybalt did what he thought was in the families best interests. Most assumed Tybalt to be the true Lord of House Weiss as Tybalt took a merciless and dominating approach: Since their methods were so different, Tybalt hated to hear Caius's name during diplomatic discussions.

**Edmond**: "*My friend, I have but one gnawing question on my mind. I understand why you needed to do it but the question that lingers on my mind is why was it you?*"
**Tybalt**: "*Our destination is a hell of our own making, Edmond. I couldn't stomach anyone else in my family doing what I do now. It'd tear me apart.. ..It is why I intend on putting down my boy before he has to see what that -woman- intends on doing.*"
— Tybalt and Edmond reflecting.

After his betrayal, Tybalt's priorities became centred around the Ascension Plan, manipulating countless others in order to satisfy his own goals and putting in place multiple layers of contingencies so that nobody could ever diverge from his own intentions. Despite this, Tybalt genuinely believed this plan would in fact, make his family proud and their lives worth living.

As he valued only power and possessed so much of it, Tybalt therefore disliked to waste it on unworthy causes or unchallenging opponents, claiming disgust when he was forced to.

Above all else, Tybalt values the honour of ones own name. Despising those who imitate, initially holding a hatred for Raiden due to the fact he believed him to be nothing more than a faker until he came to the conclusion that Raiden held the same views as himself, despite being on opposite sides of a war. Tybalt's affection for Raiden is still evident.

"*The concept of hope is nothing more than giving up. A word that holds no true meaning. It is by power that your dreams come true.*"
—Tybalt Weiss
