## Overview

Lord Tirek is a male centaur, and a former antagoinst from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic with Reiner and Bertholdt. He served as the main antagoinst of season 4, the secondary antagonist of season 8, one of the secondary antagonists from seasons 9-11, and a major antagoinst, turned supporting protaganist in season 12.

He is the third member of the Leigon of Doom to reform

## Appearance

Similarly to his original incarnation, Tirek is a demonic-looking being with elements of a centaur. His lower body is black, with a white horse tail and cloven hooves. His upper body appears to be covered in black fur, except his arms and face, which are crimson red. He has a pair of horns and a white beard, his eyes are jet black with yellow pupils. He dons steel bracelets which seem to be all that remains of his shackles, a steel collar, and a ring in his nose. He also wears a gold amulet that is a keepsake from Scorpan. Unlike his bestial yet human-looking face from his original incarnation, his face has a more primate/bull-like shape.

In the beginning, Tirek appears far smaller than he was in the original series. He is also scrawny and old-looking. However, the more power he absorbs as well as after enhancing himself with the Bewitching Bell, the bigger and nastier he gets. Notably, he becomes much more muscular, grows more hair, and his horns grow much longer. After he absorbs the power of the five main characters (sans Twilight, Reiner, and Bertholdt), his shackle bracelets shatter.

## Personality

Befitting his status as a revamp of one of the original show's darkest characters, Tirek is extremely power-hungry, oppressive, brutal, abusive and obsessed. He wants to have complete and utter dominion over all of Equestria, and he will stop at nothing to accomplish this goal. However, he does not kill his enemies, preferring to leave them alive, but powerless, to better oppress them. Tirek is also very quick to anger, and his wrath is absolutely terrifying to behold.

Despite this, Tirek is not purely a brute as he was patient enough to wait for a long time after escaping Tartarus, recovering just enough power to become able to launch an assault on ponies.

He is also shown to be an expert manipulator who cannot be trusted. He was even able to persuade Discord, himself known as an expert master of puppets, into joining him, only to betray him and consume his power after gaining enough magic to do so. Despite this, he will sometimes keep his word, but only when he feels he's not really losing anything out of the deal, such as when he released Twilight's depowered friends. Tirek seems to be quite lucid, because he did not understand how Twilight could still consider Discord as his friend after the way he betrayed him. It is unknown if he truly values honestly or that he simply could not grasp the concept of forgiveness. This betrayal leds him to his defeat as Discord helped the Mane Six defeat Tirek by offering a medallion he got from Tirek to open the Chest of Harmony.

Despite Tirek's low opinion on friendship and ponies, he conspired with Cozy Glow to get his revenge on the Mane Six. He even referred to Cozy Glow as his "little protégé". However, after she is locked in Tartarus with him, he becomes annoyed by the filly's attempts to befriend him.

Following the 4 year timeskip Tirek's personailty does a complte 360. He is know longer a brute force bent on power, but instead a broken shell of his former self.

## Relastionships

### Cozy Glow

Tirek oringnally thought very low of Cozy Glow, and was annoyed by her, but after a while he grew to care about her safety and well being.

### Cozy's Aunt and Uncle

Tirek absoulelty hates Cozy Glow's aunt and uncle and they despise him, but for a while though they work together for a while. However Tirek lothes the fact that they abused their daughter, and express his feelings to Grogar
