Early in his life, Tiberius knew that he would have a great responsibility. He was heir to the throne and crown prince of Iupono. As he grew, he became disheartened by the politics of government and tried to escape in pursuits of study and sport. Alas, his father's health failed before Tiberius was ready to return to his duties. As his father lay dying, the political intricacies of the whole kingdom came crashing into to the young man's life. Some intrigue would prove more dangerous than the others.
One faction, the secret combinations if you will, pressured him to support their slave market policies. This was a growing problem in the nation, but they threatened assassination and war if he didn't comply. Faced with this choice – death or evil – Tiberius chose to run away. In his studies, he had learned of the old times, Earth, and a mystical gate to the other world. He wasn't sure that the stories were true, no one really believed in otherworld stories or the gods anymore. But magic was a reality. So, with the help of his friend Khalil, he found out how to open the gate and played russian-roulette, hoping that it would open to otherworld and not chaos (where he would be ripped apart).
So, given the modified options of assassination, working evil, and possible oblivion; Tiberius chose hope. He came to Earth, started his life anew, and raised a family. Zach Tyler and Cait and Taylor Nocibur are his grandchildren. And though war erupted with the succession crisis in Iupono (now sporting a confederate republic), Taylor is the right heir to the throne. Hence the secrecy when ZTC show up in Kesh following the death of their grandfather.
