History

Tiberius Blackmont was born to the loveless marriage of Augustus Blackmont, Lord of House Blackmont and ruler of the Dreadfort and Lorin Chivay, a cousin to Peter and Thomas Chivay - one commander of the White Rose, the other head of House Chivay. To his father, Tiberius was nothing but a tool to be used, like most around him, a final insult to his enemies that he intended his legacy to survive even when he was dead. In his infancy, Tiberius saw his father three times, none of which he remembers. His relationship with his mother however, is quite the opposite. From the moment he was born, Tiberius was doted upon by his mother. From her, he received all the care of a mother, and was filled all the love missing from his father. These first few years were the best Tiberius would see of his early childhood. He lived with his mother, at her home in the capital while his father made war and more enemies. His relationship with others was amiable, at the least, and he took great pride in being related to so many important people, namely the Chivay brothers.
 
When Tiberius was five years old, his mother became pregnant again. Up to that point, Tiberius had never had a negative thought in his brain, by all means the perfectly normal, friendly child. However, upon recieving the news from Lorin that she would soon give birth to a brother or sister to Tiberius, he felt for the first time in his life - anger, jealousy, spite. The very thought that he would have to fight for his mothers affection and attention sickened Tiberius. Every night, he prayed to the Creator that some beast would come and kill his unborn sibling.
 
Lorin had a miscarriage. After hours of pain and sweat, two lifeless infants, a brother and sister - were all that remained. It wasn't until a week later that Tiberius received the news that his wish had come true. His siblings were dead, but so was his mother. For a month thereafter, Tiberius remained in an almost catatonic state. He sincerely thought that the Creator had granted him his request, but at the same time killed his mother as punishment for the depravity of the boon.
 
It had been his father who told him what had happened, when he arrived for the first time in almost a year at Lorin's home in the Capital. With his face totally devoid of emotion, barely a quiver in his voice, Augustus told his son the fate that had befallen his mother. It was then that Tiberius decided he truly hated his Father. With this, Tiberius was taken to his father's home, the Dreadfort. Never in his life had Tiberius seen a place so wicked, so tainted; a place that seemed to be patrolled by demons, with their cruel tongues and faces covered in blood. That night in his chamber, Tiberius renounced the Creator and his Father, cursed them, spat upon them, and glumly decided to let life do with him as he wished.
 
Adapting to life at the Dreadfort was as difficult as the loss of his mother for Tiberius. He was not permitted to leave without a guard and explicit permission from his father, he was allowed no toys, or visitors, or interaction with other children. One month after his mother's death, his father was taken by the Emperor, and taken to the Imperial Palace under guard for his aggression against the allies of the Empire. The situation only worsened, unfortunately. Unsupervised by his father, the Dreadfort garrison  became uncontrollable, now unhindered by their fear of Lord Blackmont. Tiberius was subject to multiple abuses: being hit, denied meals, and worst of all - being forced to watch the soldiers at their torture. 
 
For over a year, this was Tiberius' life, a child so consumed by fear and dread that he slowly changed into that which he hated most. His thoughts became more violent, his dreams full of thoughts of killing his father and those who pestered him the most. On the outside though, the only difference notable was that Tiberius had gotten quieter. Very early on he had learnt that speaking his mind only earned a beating, and so Tiberius waited patiently, for any chance at vengeance, for any change at all.
 
She had short hair, and seemed very nervous. That was all Tiberius had initially thought, at the sight of the hand wringing woman brought before him by the guards.  But as she spoke, a feeling of overwhelming emotion washed over Tiberius. It was his mother, returned from the dead. At that moment all of the travesties he had endured seemed tolerable, and Tiberius was simply glad to have his mother back. Stricken by grief for her lost children, and fearing the retribution of her husband, Lorin had run off, faking her own death.
 
It was with his mother that Tiberius saw the Capital for the first time. He was furious at having been denied such sights for so long, but as always, kept the anger to himself. With his mother by his side and his hand in hers, Tiberius took in the scene that was the Emperor's court. He gazed upon the throne longingly. Trusting his mother completely, Tiberius opened up, letting her know of all his ambitions, all his secret hatred. Without a word, Lorin had looked at Tiberius for that brief moment as he imagined himself looking at his father. Tiberius feigned ignorance and simply smiled, again discovering that he should keep his true feelings to himself. The day ended, Tiberius returned to the Dreadfort, and tearfully said goodbye to his mother.
 
Months passed, and Tiberius' father returned to the Dreadfort, to the apparent jubilation of the garrison. Though his treatment improved, he was still subject to the heavy handed criticism of his father and the harsh lessons that came with being the heir to House Blackmont. During this time, Tiberius had no word from his mother, nor sight. He suspected that her letters were being burnt, and her requests at visiting denied by his father. Seven years old, Tiberius had been forced to grow up much faster then any child should have.

 

However, several days after Tiberius' eighth name day he receive a letter, written by a child and directed to him, it was from his cousin, Rosalie Chivay. Quickly becoming pen pals, Tiberius finally met Rosalie after many letters at the age of nine. He was immediately infatuated with her, being the only person his age he had truly communicated with. And so, in secret, the two met eachother when they were able, becoming faster friends with each meeting. 

 

While this forbidden friendship progressed, Tiberius was training. He was taught his letters, the fundamentals of logic and strategy, and combat by the feared Captain Drelik Letholdus. As his father's wars against the different Lords of Oren escalated, Tiberius found himself being groomed at a faster rate then ever for command and leadership.

That is one angry sounding 7 year old...

Man, I'd hate to be you.

Lorin WILL see Tiberius, one way or another.
