Tigrish
5 December 2020
Eindhoven, Netherlands
Tigrish is a Prince of the Tigerium and the de facto leader of the Tigerian armies. He previously served as the King of the Tigerium during the Panther Wars until he was absorbed into the void at the end of the conflict. He is the older brother of both Tijgertje, the current Queen of the Tigerium, and Tiggy, Tijgertje's twin brother. When Tigrish reappeared from the void, he was named heir presumptive and later started a relationship with Kelgrish of Ashai, the Empress of the Great Grat.
Early life
Tigrish returned from the void on 5 December 2020 in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. Tigrish was named Prince of the Tigerium when he revoked his claim to the throne. He was described by close associates as traumatized by the Panther Wars, some stating he had developed PTSD. Regardless, he became the de facto leader of the Tigerium armies at an early age.
Reign
Pre-void reign
Before he was absorbed into the void, Tigrish ruled as King of the Tigerium. However, a dispute with Pantheron, the Imperator of Pantheria at the time, led to a full-scale war between the two nations, often named the Panther Wars. During the wars, Tigrish commanded the armies of the Tigerium and led them into battle on several occasions. Nearing the end of the Panther Wars, Tigrish and a council of generals and advisors assumed the war would lead to "extreme destruction and the deaths of too many civilians". This prompted them to collectively decide to end the war by opening the Void. Tigrish and the entire council were later absorbed into the void, ending Tigrish's reign as king.
Post-void reign
When Tigrish returned from the void on 5 December 2020, he was named Prince of the Tigerium after he revoked his claim to the crown, stating Tijgertje, Queen of the Tigerium at the time, was suitable to continue her reign as Queen. He was later named heir presumptive by Tijgertje and also became the de facto leader of the armies of the Tigerium.
Conquests
Tigrish's most notable post-void wars was during the civil war in the Royal Primate. In early 2026, Tijgeron of Pantharyen, a long-time rival of the Tigerium, had seized power in the Royal Primate by defeating its leader, Goros, in a fight. Tijgeron called upon a "grand plan" to overthrow the Tigerium and requested the Imperialists in the Lionarchy, the Gray Triumvirate in Rayak and Ratta, Rayak's leader, to take up arms against the Tigerium. His attempts to contact these groups were unsuccessful as none of them wanted to work with Tijgeron. In the meantime, Goros had rallied his forces and started a rebellion against Tijgeron to reclaim power.
Tigrish responded to the conflict by sending the Fangtooth Clan into the Royal Primate to establish a pro-Tigerium monarchy led by Django. The civil war became a three-front conflict, which initially was dominated by the Tigerium-forces. They captured large amounts of territory while the Goros-aligned rebels moved north and Tijgeron's Hordes remained in the cities. However, over time Tijgeron recaptured large amounts of territory. In response to the losses of territory, Tigrish tried to personally intercept Tijgeron, seeking to capture him and subsequently end the war. Tigrish directly confronted Tijgeron but ended up injured after a short battle with him.
Personal Life
Tigrish lives with his girlfriend Kelgrish of Ashai, their two children, Richy and Welfy and their two tiger-dogs, Barker and Fluffy. He is also often seen with his siblings, Tijgertje and Tiggy.
