Early days:
Tiberious is one of a pair of identical twins. His brother is known as Mac. They were raised in the upmarket portion of Cape Salarain. His father was a merchant trader who spent a lot of time away from home, but bought plenty of money back with him when he did return, which was for one month in every 3. This of course meant his mother had no need to work herself, so she stayed at home caring for the two boys. Because of the family's wealth, they had a servant who also doubled as a bodyguard. He attended school in Meriddia, gaining good grades and respect from all of his teachers due to his thirst for knowledge. When he was 7, the servant began to teach him how to fight, knowing it would be in his best interest. Tiberious was not really interested in learning, but tried regardless.
At school he was picked on by the other kids for always being top of the class, however he used to shrug it off. Then one day one of them started a fight with him and broke his nose. Despite Tiberious never telling anyone what had happened, the boy's gang - or any other school child - never picked on him again. The incident did make him began to pay more attention to his combat tuition.
His father's business partner was reported as missing when Tiberious was 8 years old, and the son of the missing parents came to live with the Farstrider family for a while before he left.
When he was 10 his mother and father had another son, Louis.
When he and Mac were young, they spoke about their future lives and what they would do when they left school. They talked about becoming private detective; searching for missing people; spying on unfaithful husbands; that sort of thing. By the age of 15 they had grown out of the dream and Tiberious looked towards joining the guards as an upholder of justice and keeper of the peace.
He left school with near top marks for his education, and enrolled in the guard academy. The teaching of his servant helped him through as did his drive to want to help people.
Guarding Life:
Tiberious has been a guard for most of his adult life, starting with doing all the mindless jobs all newly graduated guards are forced to do. Slowly over the years he was promoted, before he was finally offered the chance to join the Royal Guards, which he accepted. He was at Grorr when the skeleton army attacked, then later was at Meriddia and participated in the arrest of Archon and has been involved in several brawls in the throne room.
He was sent on an extended assignement to Grorr to investigate the dissapearance of General Jabo, and after a while Artimus Morningstar arrived to live there. The pair met Jesse Hilliard, a young guard with large ambitions, and Artimus made her and Tiberious partners.
The idea was to give the young guard the chance to experience life as a Royal Guard and learn from him, while he gained an extra set of eyes to watch his back. The two struck up a great friendship, which was only marred by Tiberious's relationship with his twin brother.
Once Jesse recieved a transfer to the marine Corp, Tiberious returned to Merridia to continue his job as a royal guard. Following Artimus's resignation and disappearance, Tiberious left the Royal Guards and became a trainer in Grorr helping to teach a new breed of guard using the skills he himself has forged over the years. Recently he has returned to Cape Salarain to continue training in a different manner.
He is in command of a platoon of guards and will never give a job to someone that he is unwilling to do himself.
He is currently in a releationship with the daughter of his former best friend.
