Tibalt



"Pained defiance or shameful surrender- every reaction is a pleasant surprise."

- Tibalt

Tibalt, also known as the Fiend Blooded is a half devil- half human planeswalker and an antagonist from Magic: the Gathering.

History
Not much is known about Tibalt's youth, but when he became an human adult, he decided to become a necromancer (which is a profession on Innistrad, Tibalt's home plane). He wanted to emulate his teacher, but unfortunately for him, he wasn't skillful enough to master necromancy. Being distraught because of his failure and becoming more hateful, he decided to use what he learned on the living as apposed to the dead. His mission was to study the effects of pain on living organisms. He started on vermin and eventually did experiments on humans. His actions interested the plane's devil population, whom told Tibalt about the true nature of pain. As Tibalt became more sloppy and psychotic, the towns people found out about his experiment and wanted him stopped. Soon enough, a group of inquisitors cornered him in a torture chamber with the intent of arresting him. Before they got the chance, he cast a powerful spell that came about from the devil's teachings as well as his research. He fused himself with all the devils at the cost of experiencing all of the pain he inflicted on others. His planeswalker spark ignited, flinging him to an unknown plane, safe from harm. He was free to bring his unique brand of pain to the rest of the multiverse. He eventually returned to Innistrad to challenge the vampire planeswalker Sorin Markov. The details of their battle mostly remain a secret, but it is known that Tibalt lost the confrontation.

Powers and Abilities
When he was human, Tibalt only had his intelligence and scientific equipment to aid him. After his ascension as a planeswalker, he gained the ability to travel between planes. He also gained the ability to use pain magic, which he has used on many creatures.
