Yes, it’s the same design I use for MY Tirek, which was graciously adapted for me by my good friend, MelSpyRose and then used as the official design for my shared universe. However, since Courageous began rewriting the Twirageous series, I asked him if he planned to showcase an image of what Tirek would look like when he debuts. When he said not yet, I offered to share my design with him, since the design is based on the descriptions of The Supreme Lord of Darkness in “The Light of Equestria”. Hence why his magic is purple instead of fiery red: this is Tirek before G4 rebooted him, but now holding G4’s design in order to keep up with the series itself. And while I can’t find his original bio anywhere, I will say this.
Tirek, The Supreme is as dark, and malevolent a tyrant as they come. And as close to a God of Darkness as you can get. He holds many powers over evil itself, and wields the darkness to perform these unspeakable acts: which includes the corruption and enslavement of other beings born in “the light”. He holds no regards for anyone but himself, is short tempered, and dangerous in a fight. Even more dangerous if he draws upon the darkness in others hearts. This works even better after they are enthralled by The Darkness, of which he is Champion of. He was chosen by it to spread its influence across Equestria, and challenge its counterpart, The Light. And thousands of years before Starswirl himself came to be, he ruled Equestria in an Age of Night Eternal, where legions of dark creatures served him faithfully for many long, gruesome years. Until the first “Alicorn” born into the world, Courageous Heart, was chosen by The Light for his kindness, generosity, honesty, loyalty, making others laugh when they need it, and most importantly: for being able to make friends of anyone because of his compassionate, noble nature. He became Champion of Light, and with the many creatures of Equestria united under one banner, stepped forth to oppose Tirek. And with The Elements of Harmony, they nearly succeeded.
But before the final blow was struck, Tirek did something that caused Courageous Heart to disappear……..seemingly forever.
Without the power of The Light, the elements of harmony could not destroy him. Thus, they could only be used to banish the wicked tyrant to Tartarus for all time. Never to see the world above again. And without Courageous to serve as the anchor between so many different worlds, those who had joined together drifted apart until all the nations of Equestria were founded, and their speciesist nature came into being - what once was united as one, had divided into none. And for thousands of years it’s been that way, with their oldest enemy remaining confined to his cage for what would be eternity to most. But to a being like Tirek? A few thousand years are the few blinks an eye makes in terms of existence. For as long as the Darkness Exists, so does he. Not only that, but Tirek himself feeds upon the negative aspects of Darkness that all living beings have. Every evil, no matter how small, revitalized him slowly, yet surely.
Then the day came when he had reclaimed what he had lost, and was strong enough to free himself, and smite the world as he did in days long past.
