Tygren Voltaris

„*So many years have we prepared for this. And you... are not about to interfere.*”
— Tygren speaking to Thalleous Sendaris↑
**Tygren Voltaris** is the tertiary antagonist of Songs of War. He is a prominent leader of the surviving Voltaris Clan after the Great War. He was killed when Ria kicked him into a pool of lava during the Second Great War. In his timeframe, he is perhaps the most powerful Voltaris aside from the Deathsinger.

## Lore

Tygren was a young adult Voltaris. He took the leadership to reunite the scattered and disorganized remains of the Voltaris Clan after the disappearance of the Deathsinger, and was instrumental in his return.

## Personality

Tygren is ruthless and sociopathic, completely consumed by his rage and the desire to wipe out the four other clans for disgracing and banishing the Voltaris, though going far beyond revenge. However, after attacking Sendaria and killing much of its inhabitants, he taunts Thalleous when he returns, claiming that he forced him to burn the villages by moving the Prime Songs. He and Lucidius are called 'extremists' by Almrak Voltaris who seek more than just equality and acceptance, but rather vengeance.

## Powers and abilities

Aside from the Deathsinger, Tygren is the most experienced Voltaris fighter seen on screen. He was able to match Thalleous, who was easily more experienced, albeit slightly aging past his prime years (middle aged). He was defeated by Ria most likely due to luck on their part and overconfidence on his and fell into lava. This may have been inspired by the duel between Anakin and Obi Wan on Star Wars, as whilst the former was superior in strength and abilities, the latter took advantage of their arrogance. However, his death is not to be confused with inexperience. Tygren is perhaps the most powerful humanoid aside from pivotal or legendary figures such as Herobrine, Pythus, Ingressus or Achillean, demonstrating the ability to match and even defeat a Champion.

## Appearances

### Episode 1

He and several of the Voltaris kill the scouts that Hawken sent to survey the peak of Mount Velgrin. When Thalleous and Hawken arrived at the place of the scouts' demise, they discovered supplies in a cave in the side of the mountain. Then, seven Voltaris reveal themselves, led by Tygren Voltaris, possibly as a planned ambush. Tygren introduces himself to Thalleous and takes the grim oath to take Thalleous' sword, stating that "your [Thalleous'] sword has slain many of my brothers", and to kill twice as many Sendaris with it once he kills Thalleous. During the duel, Thalleous Sendaris was knocked down onto his stomach and vulnerable to an inbound Aggrosphere launched by Tygren. Hawken quickly grabs a shield which, in absorbing the Song, shatters, saving Thalleous' life. Just as Thalleous retrieves his sword, Hawken was stabbed in the chest and killed by Tygren Voltaris. Thalleous then escapes from the Voltaris by using his Mobilium Song to barely reach the other side of a ravine, Tygren and the Voltaris observing his fleeing.

### Episode 6

Tygren confronts Thalleous as he and Senn return to Sendaria. He claims that he burned down Sendaria in vengeance because Thalleous relocated the Prime Songs. After instructing the Voltaris to kill Thalleous - which were killed by Thalleous shortly after - Tygren jumps in to fight Thalleous himself. After he sees Thalleous retreating, he grabs a spear from a corpse and launches it towards Thalleous, impaling and killing him. After Senn flees, Tygren takes Thalleous' sword, just as he said he would on Mt. Velgrin five episodes prior.

### Episode 10

Tygren is surrounding the portal with his army, waiting for it to open, but is confronted by Zulius' Ardoni troops. After a Song matchup, Tygren and his army attack. In the end, he killed several warriors and dueled equally with Zulius. He was mildly injured by Zulius before the scene of the Tidesinger and Deathsinger fight . He stares at the portal as it opens and reveals the Tidesinger and Deathsinger's fight. Both sides presumably watch the fight after the portal opens, and after the Deathsinger seems to emerge victorious, Tygren smiles in malice as Ingressus enters into the present time and gets ready to fight the Ardoni Clans once more.

### Episode 11

The Deathsinger and the Voltaris kill all the Ardoni warriors and when finished, Ingressus asks them to explain what happened while he was gone, and if everything went according to plan. Lucidius tells him that 154 years have passed, and that they did not find the Prime Songs because Thalleous Sendaris relocated them. Tygren informs Deathsinger that the Ender Knights have not returned since the Great War, but they have been unable to destroy the remaining Ender Dragon Eggs, and he tells about rumors that the Tidesinger died during the duel. Deathsinger tells them that there is work to be done and there is no time to waste, and they all retreat from Mount Velgrin as the portal closes.

### Episode 22 & Downfall

Tygren appears to fight alongside the Angel of Death in Meridian. He manages to kill a few people before Ria engages him. With the help of Senn, Ria manages to kill her father's murderer by kicking him into lava. Senn takes possession of Thalleous' weapon.

### Episode 27 (Mentioned)

He was mentioned by Almrak, that many voltaris like Tygren wanted revenge.

## Trivia

* Tygren is an incredibly skilled, agile and fast fighter, and few manage to survive a fight against him. However, Ria Sendaris manages to kill him with the help of Senn at Meridian. This is HIGHLY unlikely because of skill as Tygren is clearly able to outmatch them both but more of the fact that Ria managed to intervene a surprised Tygren while he was about to strike a killing blow. Using their songs, they were able to outmatch him. However, it is still clear that Tygren is able to reign superior to nearly all Ardoni, including every single Ardoni who has ever opposed him should they ever be thrown into an arena.
* Tygren mentions in Episode 1 that he has "[made] sure" no one has heard of him. This likely implies that until Thalleous met him and escaped, no one survived an encounter with him to tell the tale and that Tygren killed Hawken's scouts.
* Tygren takes Thalleous' sword, keeping his word in Episode 1 about taking Thalleous' sword after he killed him. He also takes Thalleous' Mobilium Song.
* Unlike Ingressus, who justifies his killing sprees by claiming that the Voltaris were mistreated by the other clans, David states that Tygren enjoys being 'the villain'. This cruel, evil nature was most likely developed from a traumatizing childhood and experienced hatred from the other Clans.
* His Aggrosphere Song enables him to launch red energy balls, as depicted in the first Episode.
* Tygren united the remnants of the Voltaris Clan and took over its leadership and prepared them for war.
* Tygren is able to take on nearly everyone in the Songs of War series, but his underestimation of his enemies causes him to be killed by Ria, whom Tygren could have easily killed with little to no effort had he not expected her to fight back so hard.
* Tygren is actually ambidextrous, and uses this to it's full advantage when fighting with others. Whether or not he is naturally ambidextrous or trained to for it is unknown.
