Tybalt Bellgrave (Ti-blt)

The Cat Prince, Lord Tybalt Bellgrave

Tybalt is the bastard son of Duke Jonah Bellgrave's and is the youngest of his two children. The identity of Tybalt's mother is unknown and his father refuses to answer any questions regarding her. Up until the War of Four Suits, Tybalt was known as 'Tybalt Diamondfeld' and was not recognized as a formal member of House Bellgrave. However, after playing a key role in the war by preventing House Brutoris' troops from crossing into Clovergarde and rendezvousing with House d'Honaire, Jonah legitimized him and granted him the right to take his family's surname.

Prince of Cats

Tybalt earned this moniker when he was just 12 years old after surviving his ninth near death experience. As a child, Tybalt survived a number of assassination attempts and alleged accidents ranging from bandit attacks, falling from one of Cair Diamant's towers, drowning while swimming in the Adder, and even accidents involving his carriage while traveling. Miraculously, Tybalt survived all of these brushes with death and baseless rumors began circulating within Diamondfeld that his father was the one behind these attempts on his life. Whether these rumors were true or not had little effect on Tybalt, who simply endured the whispers and pitiful looks in silence.
