While Tyrion remains in Ulthuan to defend its borders, Teclis looks further afield for the answers that might save the Vortex. It is even claimed that Teclis' power approaches that of the great Necromancer Nagash, so it is fortunate that he has devoted his life to thwarting the powers of Chaos and death. Though it is little acknowledged in Naggaroth, the Witch King accedes that Teclis is his superior and, since the Battle of Finuval Plain, has taken care not to come into direct conflict with his younger cousin. Teclis has been blessed with a talent for magic that makes him preeminent, not only amongst the mages of Ulthuan, but in the whole world. Yet no-one, least of all Tyrion, sees Teclis as the weaker twin - his destiny merely lies along another path. Indeed, so feeble is Teclis that his body can only be sustained by the consumption of magical potions. Where the curse of Aenarion has yet to leave an obvious mark upon Tyrion, it has made his brother frail and caustic. Teclis is Tyrion's twin brother, but two more different siblings would be hard to find. It is their destiny to perform mighty deeds and shape the fate of kingdoms.
Born into one of the oldest families of Ulthuan, the brothers can trace their line back to the doomed Aenarion, first and mightiest of the Phoenix Kings of Ulthuan. The fame of those twin brothers extends throughout Ulthuan and into the lands beyond. Among the High Elves the names of Tyrion and Teclis are spoken with hushed respect.
