Timur

"We all have creators — humans, Exo, Warminds, even those poor Awoken. Some are just easier to find"

- Lord Timur

Lord Timur was one of the Iron Lords and a Warlock. A talented Stormcaller, fearless warrior, and avid researcher, Timur took an extreme amount of joy in creating new ways to fight the Darkness.

Biography
Timur was one the Iron Lords, who sought to end the reign of terror wrought by the earliest generations of Guardians. He, alongside his companions stood up to the Warlords and eventually succeeded in dispatching them. At some point, Timur learned of the existence of SIVA. Learning of its potential, Timur devoted himself to tracking down the technology. Whether by himself or dragging more of his fellow Lords along, he followed every lead on Clovis Bray's lost secrets he could find.

However, like several other Warlocks, his attempts to understand and find SIVA drove Timur into madness. He became incapable of focusing, and making wild assumptions, including believing that Lord Felwinter was a Warmind. Even Colovance, a student of his who greatly admired him, admitted that his search took him over the edge.

Eventually, his search bore fruit as the Lords discovered SIVA's location. However, upon reaching what would become the Plaguelands, Rasputin's defenses and SIVA's constructs, the Lords were almost eliminated. Timur was one of the nine to make it to the replication chamber, only to be sealed inside during the battle and eventually killed.

The newest generation of Iron Lords occasionally honor his memory by taking up one of his old artifacts. As Timur once used it to turn entire hordes of enemies against each other, they can now use it to do the same, albeit on a smaller scale.

Trivia
