Lord Tirek is the main antagonist of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season 4 finale "Twilight's Kingdom."



Role
Tirek will escape from Tartarus and steal unicorns' magic, taking away their cutie marks. Discord will be sent to track him down, and Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadance will transfer their magic to Princess Twilight in the hopes that it will be enough to defeat him. So far, Tirek has manipulated Discord into helping him destroy the Mane Six.

Personality
Little is known of Tirek's personality so far but he appears to be extremely wicked and power-hungry, befitting his status as a reincarnation of one of G1s darkest antagonists. He is also revealed to be manipulative and has an unquenchable thirst for the alicorn's magic.

Appearance
so far Tirek appears far smaller than he was in Generation 1, only time shall tell if this is a permanent feature or if he will obtain a larger form later in the story (much as Apocalypse did in X-Men: Evolution).

Powers / Abilities
Tirek has manifested the following abilities so far:
 * Vampirism (Magic) (in his first appearance Tirek has been shown to possess a type of vampirism that sucks the magic out of ponies and removes their cutie mark in the process - he seems to literally suck this magic into his mouth, akin to "soul stealing" but perhaps a little more "kid-friendly" (though still incredibly dangerous) )

Trivia

 * Tirek is one of the most powerful antagonists in G4 (much as he was in G1) - he surpasses even Discord in power (a character who is constantly portrayed as near-omnipotent)
 * He is the most evil villain in Friendship Is Magic along with King Sombra.
