Patriarch Tybalt.[Needs Citation]

Tybalt is a Knight and High King of House Terryn. His esteemed rank denoted by the single cream band upon the carapace of his Knight Warden, the Fury of Voltoris. The crest of House Terryn is proudly displayed upon his tilting plate, and the white horse’s head, the preeminent symbol of the house since its founding, is repeated often, including upon the gun shield of his avenger gatling gun. The Fury of Voltoris is further bedecked with battle honours and kill markings.[1]

It is said that the full telling of High King Tybalt’s triumphs takes well over twelve days to complete, and it is a tale that is still growing. The High King is ever eager to add whole new chapters to his ongoing glory. Most recently, Tybalt led the defence of his home world, Voltoris, against a T'au invasion. Though the battle was won, the costly xenos attack was an insult to his house’s honour, and Tybalt vowed a mighty revenge upon the Tau.[1]

Trivia

Tybalt, like many of the Knights of House Terryn, shares his name with a character from a play by William Shakespeare; in this case, a character from Romeo and Juliet.
